Let’s find out how to implement value objects and map them to a database table with EF Core 6.0. — What is Value Object A value object is an object without an explicit identifier. Its first main characteristic is that it does not require an identity. The second principal characteristic is that value objects must be immutable. It means that once value object properties are initialized, we can’t change their values. …

Introduction of Custom Handlers with Demo using Go Language. — Introduction Every Azure Function has its handler.

“A microservice architectural style is an approach to developing a single application as a suite of small services.” — Martin Fowler. — First, we will find out what is Monolithic Architecture. Therefore, I will show you how to modify its domain to be ready for Microservice Architecture. In the end, I will briefly tell you the basics of Microservice Architecture and judge its pros and cons. Monolithic Architecture

The software architecture should scream the intent of the system. — Uncle Bob — Let me hear you scream like you want it Let me hear you yell like you mean it This is a part of the refrain from Ozzy Osbourne’s song “Let Me Hear You Scream.” Let me modify it a little bit into a software-related context.

Separation of concerns is a technique for the effective ordering of one’s thoughts. You should focus one’s attention upon one aspect. — Edsger W. Dijkstra — Command-Query Separation (CQS) In 1988 Bertrand Meyer devised the CQS principle for object-oriented languages in the book Object-Oriented Software Construction. In simple words, the principle says that software should either modify the system (commands) or return values (queries) and you should maintain the command-query separation in your software.
