Nola,

Here's a talk that I'm doing at a couple of conferences in Europe at the end of November. If you want it for the meeting at the start of November, I could do a version of it then.

From Monolith to Services: Avoiding the Big Ball of Mud in Ruby Apps

- - -

Distributed systems are a good answer to that Big Ball of Mud that your otherwise magnificent monolith becomes on its worst days. They’re not just for high-scalability, high-performance apps that can self-deploy and even heal themselves. Although if you get the stuff right that makes them easier for teams to work with, you might get those other things for free. If you’ve got a monolith that you don’t really think of as “magnificent”, or if you’re battling a web of tangled code that’s getting harder and harder to work with, this introduction to service-oriented and distributed systems will demonstrate the “other” approach to structuring your system for developer productivity and maximum joy. Light on bullet points, heavy on code, this presentation is an overview of the nuts and bolts of distributed, service architectures in Ruby, covering topics like Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), Microservices, components, messaging, idempotence, concurrency, Event Sourcing, Command-Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS), Domain-Driven Design, and technologies like the EventStore database.

PS: Alternative title: "From Monolith to Distributed Systems: Avoiding the Big Ball of Mud in Ruby Apps" (Depends on the audience and what they're used to hearing. I leave that to whoever is the organizer(s) of the event).

Best,

Scott

I'm interested in giving a talk on Watir and UI testing.
