Watch Your Communication - How Communication Drives Design

Explore communication paradigms and their impact on software design in this 53-minute conference talk from GOTO Berlin 2016. Delve into the complexities of choosing appropriate communication styles for applications, challenging the notion that mixing styles should be discouraged. Learn about synchronous request/response and asynchronous event paradigms, comparing their strengths and weaknesses through practical examples like order fulfillment. Discover how to effectively mix communication paradigms, considering factors such as user interaction and process boundaries. Gain insights from Uwe Friedrichsen, a Fellow at codecentric, on reducing complexity and avoiding mismatches in communication styles to drive better software design decisions.
