Susanne Kaiser is a software consultant working with teams on microservice adoption. Recently, she’s brought together Domain-Driven Design, Wardley Mapping, and Team Topologies into a conversation about helping teams adopt a fast flow of change. Today on the podcast, Wes Reisz speaks with Susanne about why she feels these three approaches to dealing with software complexity are so complementary. The two then work through some of the patterns she’s seen in her consulting work and discuss how to get started, sequencing, and the effect of overall team size in applying these patterns.

Transcript

Susanne Kaiser on DDD, Wardley Mapping, & Team Topologies

Jonas Bonér, CTO of LightBend and creator Akka, discusses using Akka when developing distributed systems. He talks about the Actor Model, and how every Microservice needs to be viewed as a system to be successful. 

Why listen to this podcast:

 - Akka is JVM-based framework design for developing distributed systems leveraging the Actor Model - an approach for writing concurrent systems that treat actors as universal primitives and the most successful model with abstraction has been streaming
 - Circuit breakers in Akka are a backup and retry policy; they protect you by capturing failure data and allow you to roll back 
 - Every Microservice needs to be viewed as a system, it needs to have multiple parts that run on different machines in order to function and be fully resilient - thus is a Microsystem
 - Two different trends have emerged when it comes to hardware and environments: one is the trend toward Multi-core, the is a movement toward virtualized environments and the cloud
 - Saga pattern of managing long running transactions in a distributed system fits very well with messaging style architectures
