RL058 Jorge Ferrer (continued)

Radio Liferay

Two episodes (or an eternity) ago, I spoke to Jorge Ferrer, Liferay's VP of Engineering. We didn't have enough time to finish the conversation, so we continued a while after - and then I buried the recording /o\. Anyway, apart from it being still from "before the release of the current version", it's still relevant stuff, I feel bad about missing to post it. Check for yourself - here it finally is.

As before, we're speaking about various internal and external topics and I've also been teasing him a bit.

We're talking about these (and more) topics

• Microservices vs Monoliths
  • Buzzword or breeze of fresh air?
  • DHH The Majestic Monolith
  • Approach this technology option like any other
  • If you can't build a monolith, you are probably getting an even bigger mess if you approach microservices
  • Milen's presentation: Microservices and Modularity or the difference between treatment and cure (or on youtube)
• Shortly before the release many modules were moved around and renamed. We talk about the reasons and what this meant for the translations
• What's the meaning of "Feature-Complete"?
• A lot of Feedback starts to come in during the Beta Cycle
• Nitpicking on the Beta Criteria: JBoss and Upgrade Routines
• Lookahead on the next episode on Performance Tuning
• Releaseplans (of course, I could have retrofitted an exact release date...)
• What's it like to be hired into Liferay Engineering?
  • https://liferay.com/careers
  • office envy
  • shared spaces, decoration, own desks, separate working environments, inspiration, agora
• Is it forbidden to write Javadoc?
