Conway’s law is an adage in software engineering that states that an organization’s communication structure will inevitably resemble the design of its software. It is named after Melvin Conway, who introduced the idea in a 1967 paper.
The law is based on the reasoning that for a product to function, the authors and designers of its parts must communicate with each other to ensure compatibility between the components. If an organization’s details do not closely reflect the essential functions of the product, or if the relationships between organizations do not reflect the connections between product parts, then the project will be in trouble.
Go faster than your competitors. That’s the promise of microservices – deploy more quickly, scale faster, and be more robust. It’s all about outcomes; how your organization is structured tremendously impacts those outcomes. It’s easy to say “Conway’s Law” and then move swiftly on. “But but but, but how?” James […]
Indeed, the cultural changes required for a successful transition to a microservices architecture can be just as significant as the technical considerations. In a microservices architecture, the focus is on building more minor, independent services that can be developed and deployed independently. This can require a shift in how teams […]
Designing a software system is a complex process that involves many decisions and trade-offs. It is essential to strike a balance between simplicity and flexibility and continuously review and refine the design to meet the system’s evolving needs.One approach to achieving this balance is to use a pragmatic, clean architecture, […]
Jeffrey Palermo coined the Onion Architecture term in 2008 This architecture provides a better way to build applications for better testability, maintainability and dependability on the infrastructures like databases and services What are the Advantages of Onion Architecture?
For this WTFinar, we’ve got a damn legend in the house—the one and only, Michael Feathers. And the legend says, “It’s what’s on the inside that counts.” This is true for people, eclairs, systems, and organizations. The nature of programming is changing as we shift to building cloud-based systems through […]
Melvin Conway’ in bir kuramını yazılım yönetim tekniklerinde sıkça kullanıyoruz. “Sistemleri tasarlayan organizasyonlar … kendi iletişim yapılarının birer kopyasını üretmekle sınırlıdır” Conway, Melvin E. (April 1968), “How do Committees Invent?”, Datamation ‘da orijinal makaleyi incelebilirsiniz. Conway ‘in bu tespiti Conway Yasası olarak adlandırılıyor. Yazılım geliştiren ekiplerin aralarındaki iletişim ve diğer […]
Microservices have often been touted as the natural output of cross-functional teams, thus proving Conway’s Law: that software will reflect the people structures that created that software. Indeed, at Tesco, we’ve even applied the ‘reverse Conway’ maneuver and structured our organization to reflect the domain-based microservices we desired. Such an […]
Conway’s law is an adage named after computer programmer Melvin Conway, who introduced the idea in 1967. It was first dubbed Conway’s law by participants at the 1968 National Symposium on Modular Programming. It states that “organizations which design systems … are constrained to produce designs which are copies of […]
