Event Driven Architecture and Self-Contained Systems

This meetup is organized in collaboration with the MicroCPH Conference (conference taking place May 11-12) -> https://microcph.dk as an aperitif and we are joined by two speakers who have previous presented at the conference. And as an added bonus we will draw a few tickets for the conference.

This meetup features two talks hosted by our friends at Siteimprove. We expect sessions of 2x 45 minutes with a break in between. We start at 18:00 @ Siteimprove on Thursday Feb. 20th.

** Should you be using an Event Driven Architecture? **
by Jeppe Cramon
What is an event-driven architecture, what can it do for your architecture, and is it a prerequisite for microservices?
In this talk, we'll see what events are and how they can solve many of the coupling and integration problems that you will experience in a distributed (micro)service landscape.
We'll get into the different usages for events and showcase them based on real world projects.
After this talk, you will know what events are, how they can be used and some of the requirements they put on your design and the way you thinking about software design.

** Self-contained Systems: In Practice **
by Per Ökvist
How to build a system of systems. How could we avoid a large monolithic system, utilizing a set of smaller systems in collaboration?

The idea is to break a large system apart into several smaller self-contained systems or SCSs, that follow certain rules.

A SCS is owned by a team, with all data and logic needed and makes features available via it’s own UI. This favours asynchronous communication and UI composition.

In this talk we’ll introduce SCS and it’s background, and venture in to how we use this an approach within the leading Nordic e-commerce (CDON).
