September 2024 Meeting

The September 2024 meeting of LRUG will be on Monday the 9th of September, from 6:00pm to 8:00pm (meeting starts at 6:30pm).

This time we're being hosted by the lovely folk at Bloom & Wild in their offices, near Vauxhall. They've also kindly agreed to provide pizza and drinks. Full venue and registration details are given below.

Agenda

B&W Rewards - Domains, Events & Ledgers

Rachel Bingham and Boaz Yehezkel will be speaking about:

How we developed the B&W Rewards system. Starting from event storming with stakeholders and technical planning across squads to clear domain boundaries to
how we used an event bus and agnostic accounting system to keep things clear, concise and extendable.

From Spaghetti to Lasagna: Layering your code with DDD

Lily Stoney

How to apply DDD to a monolithic codebase, the benefits and reasons why it can be beneficial, and how the event storming process can make the process of defining domain boundaries a simpler task!

Afterwards

After the talks are finished, and we've tidied up the venue a bit, we head over to a local pub for some food and drinks and the opportunity to chat with each other.

Of course, even though this is the socialising part and seems more informal, please remember that still we consider it to be a part of the meeting and covered by our code of conduct.
