Higher level app patterns #16

Closed cloud8421 closed 6 years ago

cloud8421 commented 6 years ago

A sufficiently complex Elixir project tends to end up including multiple apps (maybe under an umbrella), shared code, domain specific metrics, logging, middleware.

In addition, people also tend to wrap some frequent dependencies (e.g. brokers like RabbitMQ) with custom, higher level apis.

I’ve been wondering for a while if there are reusable, higher level components hidden in all of this. The counterpoint would be that as they always slightly differ from project to project, trying to generalise them may end up being just a waste of time.

What’s your experience on the matter? Where do you draw the line? How often do you extract and package (not necessarily as OSS)?

May be related to topics discussed in episode 103, but could expand specifically on architectural patterns?
