Designing for change with Vertical Slice Architecture
While traditional layered architectures have held their ground for years—structing applications into recognisable tiers such as “presentation”, “business logic”, and “data”. Are they really suited to the demands of modern software development?
Teams are being asked to move faster and faster as well as be able to change direction quickly as customer needs change. And what happens when a product hits success and needs to scale, fast! Do these architectures make it easy for apps to scale and new developers to get up to speed and be productive quickly?
Essentially, do these architectures allow teams to build for change? The one constant in our industry.
In this talk, we’re going to look at an alternative way to build applications using vertical slice architecture (VSA). You’ll learn what VSA is and how it differs from the layered approach. We’ll cover it’s key advantages and how it can help you, or your teams, build better software, faster. We’ll also talk about some common misconceptions of the architecture as well as trade-offs when choosing it.
