Discussion – Topic: AWS Control Tower

Virtual / Online

***Please Use Source Link Below to Confirm Event Details***   Details This week's topic: AWS Control Tower As described in Thoughtworks Technology Radar Vol. #29. Multi-team account management is a challenge in AWS, especially in setup and governance. AWS Control Tower addresses this challenge by simplifying setup and automating governance; it addresses regulatory requirements with guardrails. AWS Control Tower has a built-in Account Factory that helps automate the account provisioning workflow. Among other things, you can update, unmanage and close accounts that you create and provision through Account Factory. Due to its lack of automation and customization, Amazon introduced AWS […]

Data-First GraphQL

Virtual / Online

***Please Use Source Link Below to Confirm Event Details***   Details There is a debate in the GraphQL community between "schema-first" and "code-first" development. Yet, there is a third way: data-first GraphQL APIs. This is where principles and pragmatism meet. "Do not Repeat Yourself", "Domain-Driven Design," and "Data-Driven Development" are important principles in software. Just as important are pragmatic concerns like integrating vast reservoirs of heterogeneous brownfield data sources, exposing it all as production-grade APIs, and doing it fast. The remorseless logic of these factors leads ineluctably to one conclusion: APIs must derive from the data, not from a schema […]

Test-Driven Development in the Larger Context: TDD & ATDD PMIs Disciplined Agile

Virtual / Online

***Please Use Source Link Below to Confirm Event Details***   Details Scott L. Bain Senior Technical Trainer at PMI "Test-Driven Development" was originally suggested by Ward Cunningham in the mid 1900's as a way for developers to generate code from unit tests. In the ensuing years it has also been suggested that organizations can drive requirements into development by writing acceptance tests to guide the process. Which of these should we call "TDD"? Which, if either, is more important, or should take precedence in terms of our attention and allocation of resources? Should we do them both? can they work […]
