Architecture and Design

Testing Strategies for Microservices and Monoliths Software teams today run both microservices and legacy monoliths. To keep quality high, tests must fit real work: fast feedback, reliable failures, and scalable coverage. The following approaches help you build a practical testing plan that stays effective as the system evolves. Planning by layers Think in three layers: unit, contract, and end-to-end. For each layer, define goals, keep tests small, and favor determinism. ...

Clean Code and Clean Architecture in Practice Good software is not only fast; it is understandable. Clean code helps new team members read quickly, and clean architecture helps us grow features without breaking others. In practice, the two ideas work together: clean code gives readable details, clean architecture gives stable boundaries. Start with boundaries. Inner rules should survive change in outer tools. The domain stays the same even if we switch databases or UI frameworks. Keep responsibilities small: one class, one reason to change. Use clear names, narrow interfaces, and small functions. ...
