When designing a Python application with asynchronous message handling, you very quickly find a good case to implement Celery in your application. Over the years I've seen many tasks written within Celery, which is used for async handling of sending notifications, updating external resources or

Clean Architecture: Implementing testing patterns

When we are writing an application using Clean Architecture standards, we are setting up our application for easy testing. There are different testing patterns to apply, and each have their own boundaries within the Clean Architecture design. As a developer, we want to have multiple layers of tests

Unit testing gRPC streams in Go

One of the powerful features of gRPC is their ability to stream data from the server, client or bidirectional. This opens up a lot of use cases, but also more asynchronous communication which allows you to speed up your application. However, they add another complexity when unit testing, as you

Clean Architecture: Using Interface Segregation in Go

In this blog, we will talk about how we can use Go's powerful interfaces to optimize our Clean Architecture or Domain Driven Design (DDD) by implementing Interface Segregation from SOLID. That is a lot of terminology in a single sentence; let's break it down. Basics If
