Repository Implementations

Repository Implementations

In my previous post I have presented a way to separate your data access from the business logic, when a relational database is used. I have shown another implementation of the well-known Repository pattern. Since Martin Fowler described it in his book Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture it became one

Separating Data Access Concern

Separating Data Access Concern

In our days most of the applications that have a relational database as storage, use an ORM to access the data. The ORM (Entity Framework, Hibernate, etc.) does most of the data access implementation. Many of them have a modern API for querying data and for creating sessions of editing

Low Coupling by Refactoring Towards Higher Cohesion

Low coupling and high cohesion go hand in hand. In a low coupled design, the modules, classes and functions have a high cohesion. The other way around is also true: making high cohesive modules, classes or functions leads to a loosely coupled design. Why is this useful or interesting? The

Who Disposes Your Repository

Recently, I’ve went again through the discussion of how the Repository Pattern works with Dependency Injection (DI) in one of the projects I’m involved in. Even if these patterns are around for a while and there are many examples on how to use them together, discussing some particular

Why Design Upfront Reduces Cost and Increases Predictability

Why Design Upfront Reduces Cost and Increases Predictability

Skipping design may speed up the start of a project, but it often increases long-term cost, complexity, and delivery risk. Real examples from insurance, energy, and logistics systems show why good Code Design, decomposition, and AI-aware architecture are critical for predictability and efficiency.

Code Design for Predictability: Why You Should Hide the Frameworks

Code Design for Predictability: Why You Should Hide the Frameworks

Learn how hiding frameworks behind structured infrastructure improves code design, controls complexity, increases predictability, and creates better guardrails for scalable systems and Agentic AI.

Designing Resilient Software Systems for the Energy Sector

Designing Resilient Software Systems for the Energy Sector

Resilience is the primary requirement for software systems in the energy sector. These systems support critical operations such as grid balancing, energy trading, risk management, and asset management. Failure is not an option. Energy systems must operate continuously. Orders must always be processed. Data loss is unacceptable. Business processes must

How Delivery Architecture Enables Predictable Software Projects

How Delivery Architecture Enables Predictable Software Projects

Learn how to design software projects for predictable delivery using Delivery Architecture. Align Code Design, System Design, and Project Design to control complexity, reduce risk, and deliver on time and on budget.

Coding with Copilot on Top of Application Infrastructure

Coding with Copilot on Top of Application Infrastructure

AI coding works best on top of strong Application Infrastructure. With clear structure, strict boundaries, and consistent design rules, Copilot and AI Agents generate cleaner, more predictable code. Architecture guides the AI, not the other way around.

Integration Gateway for External Systems

Integration Gateway for External Systems

An Integration Gateway isolates your system from external changes and failures while standardizing communication. This article explores a Code Design approach using Contract-First Design, Pluggable Applications, and Clean Architecture for reliable and maintainable software integration.
