When you have to run a scalable application on AWS, your database must also be scalable. It’s easier to scale the stateless application layer, where each node is mostly disposable – even if a node in a 3-node cluster fails, you can just fire up another one and nobody notices. The database layer is stateful and therefore there’s a risk ...

It seems that type/class hierarchies in OOP may be designed in two extreme ways: either with full encapsulation of data in mind; or with just a few interfaces making raw data visible, and letting classes deal with it, parse it, and turn it into smaller data elements. You may be surprised, but I’m suggesting the second option is more elegant. ...

Tracing provides visibility into a system allowing the developers and operations to observe the application during runtime. Tracing becomes extremely valuable when the systems are growing and interacting with more microservices. In such environments the traces are awesome in localizing the failures and bottlenecks causing poor performance. In this post we are setting you up for understanding the tracing in ...

And the bigger the codebase ...

Anyone who has submitted to Agile on the Beach in the last few years will have used our submission system: Mimas. Like so many other conference we, or rather I, created our own system. “Why does AOTB have its own submission system?” Flippant but true answer: because nobody else (yet) has decided to share out system. I’m more than happy ...

Cucumber is an execution framework for a specification language. It’s not meant to be a testing language, but it’s used for creating test automation. Cucumber lends itself best to situations where there are some real-world actors interacting and achieving some sort of outcome. It’s especially useful when it can be written from the point of view of the user. 1 ...

In this post, we’ll look at a problem that comes up when you create APIs and share them. In particular, there’s a need to: Express the structure of dataProvide for validation of that dataAllow for future changes of mindCommunicate with clients over a subset of the data you haveFill in the blanks when data is missing People generally solve this ...

Throughout the Test Smells catalogue, there are signs you may be testing your code, rather than its behaviour. Even in the humblest of unit tests, the overriding rule should be: Make your code perform its job and see what the result is. Developers who write code and its tests can often misunderstand this as produce tests for each line and ...
