Spring Modulith – Spring for the Architecturally Curious Developer

Speaker:
Oliver Drotbohm, VMware

The architecture and design of an application significantly influences its maintainability, testability and quality in general. Spring has always been a versatile tool that supports architects implementing the practices and patterns that have emerged to align technical building blocks in their code bases with domain concepts and boundaries. It lets developers build applications that clearly reflect architectural ideas and that are ultimately more amendable and maintainable. This talk discusses those patterns and approaches to introduce Spring Moduliths to, in turn, show how they uniquely position Spring developers to build better structured, more maintainable applications.

Very interesting. Making architectural best practices part of testing is a good way to keep the codebase disciplined. Those diagrams are like Javadoc for architecture. Externalization of events into something like Kafka is also a great idea, given that there is so much event driven stuff you can do once it is there.

Question: Is the event generating transaction marked complete only after the event commits successfully to Kafka?

Great, interesting talk, looking forward to give Spring Modulith a try. Poor sound quality though.
