Hiding The Lead

Explore the principles of information hiding, coupling, and cohesion in microservices architecture in this NDC London 2021 conference talk by Sam Newman. Delve into the applicability of structured programming concepts to modern microservice systems. Examine different types of coupling, their potential issues, and strategies for avoidance. Discover the relevance of ideas from the 1960s and 1970s to contemporary software development. Learn about independent deployability, backwards compatibility, modular software, and the importance of explicit schemas in microservice design. Gain insights into Constantine's Law, domain coupling, common coupling, and content coupling. Conclude with a Q&A session and final thoughts on applying these concepts to improve microservice architectures.
