DRY Software Patterns & Microservices • Dave Farley • GOTO 2022

We’re so pleased that we’ve teamed up with Dave Farley, author of “Continuous Delivery” and frequent GOTO Conferences speaker, for a monthly video series featuring ideas about continuous delivery, DevOps, test-driven development, BDD, software engineering and software development in general. Find plenty more from Dave on his @Continuous Delivery channel. Dave Farley - Continuous Delivery & DevOps Pioneer, Award-winning Author, Founder & Director of Continuous Delivery Ltd. ABSTRACT Probably the most popular advice to improve the design of your code is DRY - Don’t Repeat Yourself. It is good advice, a good general guideline even, but it is not always the best answer. This is particularly true in Microservices, where DRY can result in too much coupling between services. So when should you aim for DRY software, and when not? What is microservice that means that DRY is a problem? What are good guidelines for DRY in different parts of your system? In this episode, Dave Farley of Continuous Delivery explores DRY, Coupling and Microservices and how they interact. Dave takes a pragmatic software engineering approach to exploring the pros and cons of DRY on different scales and describes why the microservices example may be more complicated than it looks.
