Tutorial: Event Carried State Transfer
Featuring Ian Cooper
If you build an Event-Driven Architecture over a Request-Driven Architecture using Microservices you want to avoid Microservices having to call each other. But how is this possible, given that each Microservice isolates its own data store, so that you cannot read their data?

Event Driven Collaboration
Featuring Ian Cooper
When you move from a monolith to microservices you abandon integrating via a shared database, as each service must own its own data to allow them it to be autonomous. But now you have a new problem, our data is distributed.

Tutorial: Linux :heart - .NET Core: Deploy and Run
Featuring Toby Henderson and Ian Cooper
So you have realized that you know how to design a .NET Core application: it is just C# and the BCL. So you have realized that know how to design ASP.NET Core and EF Core applications. They are just ASP.NET and EF, with a few changes to APIs, some good, some annoying.

What is the clean architecture - and how you would build one in .NET?
Featuring Ian Cooper
Recently Bob Martin has categorized a set of architectures, including hexagonal architecture, onion architecture and screaming architecture as 'the clean architecture' - a layered architecture of concentric circles with a strong emphasis on separation of concerns. This architecture has...

Nginx for .NET Developers
Featuring Ian Cooper
With the move to .NET Core, IIS is no longer the default web server for ASP.NET deployments. Instead ASP.NET apps are self-hosted and by default run in Kestrel. Kestrel is fast, and like Node.JS is based off the libuv async I/O library. But it's also optimized to talk to Nginx, another web...

RPC is Evil
Featuring Ian Cooper
As the microservice train thunders into town, it is bringing with it an old enemy - the Remote Procedure Call. Libraries like Thrift are being used for client-server communication and no one seems to be looking back to the past to understand why we ran screaming from RPC last time. Drawing on...

There and back again, a Microservices tale
Featuring Ian Cooper
Microservices are the new hotness, but many people are unclear on what is a microservice and what is not. Is it consultancy and book-deal hype? Is it just another term to be co-opted and abused by vendors? Is it just re-branding SOA for hipsters. In this talk, Ian Cooper takes us on a journey...

Not just layers! What pipelines and events can do for you
