Hiding the Lead
YOW! 2020 Sydney
Information hiding, coupling, and cohesion, microservices-style
The terms coupling and cohesion come from the world of structured programming, but they are also thrown about in the context of microservices. In this session, I look at the applicability of these terms to microservice architecture and also do a deep dive into the different types of coupling to explore how ideas from the 1970s still have a lot of relevance to the types of systems we build today.
