Use the right tool for the job! That’s the motto of this session. As modern developers, we need to master several different languages all at once to be 100 percent productive. We define our development environments with Gradle. We implement our software in Java, Kotlin, or another suitable JVM-based language. We use Groovy or Scala to test our code at different layers. We construct the build pipelines for our software with a Groovy DSL or JSON. We use YAML and Python to describe the infrastructure and deployment of our applications. We document our architectures with AsciiDoc and Java. This code-intense, polyglot session is a fun and opinionated journey into the modern era of software development. #javaone2017 @JavaOneConf @qaware

4. Which programming
language do real
developers use?

9. There is no unanimous opinion ...

• http://spectrum.ieee.org/computing/software/
the-2016-top-programming-languages

rankings-6-17/
// JavaOne 2017 // Everything-as-code -> { created with ❤ and ☕ by @LeanderReimer @qaware }

10. There is no best programming
language! Every language is
strong in a specific domain.
// JavaOne 2017 // Everything-as-code -> { created with ❤ and ☕ by @LeanderReimer @qaware }

11. We are software craftsmen.
The IDE is our workbench.

12. Software Industrialization as
a key requirement for DevOps
and Continuous Delivery.
// JavaOne 2017 // Everything-as-code -> { created with ❤ and ☕ by @LeanderReimer @qaware }

13. The software assembly line: produce
and deliver software continuously.
// JavaOne 2017 // Everything-as-code -> { created with ❤ and ☕ by @LeanderReimer @qaware }

14. Definition of Software Industrialization
• Automation of repetitive and laborious tasks
• Better software quality through a standardized
and streamlined tool chain
• A well integrated tool chain leads to a higher
productivity and happiness of your team
• Better cost efficiency and competitiveness
// JavaOne 2017 // Everything-as-code -> { created with ❤ and ☕ by @LeanderReimer @qaware }

15. val softwareIndustrialization = everythingAsCode()

// JavaOne 2017 // Everything-as-code -> { created with ❤ and ☕ by @LeanderReimer @qaware }

16. So our polyglot
adventures begin.

17. The Quest for an ideal project archetype
• Which languages are used for the specific
domains in our projects?
• Which tools are used for Setup, Build, Code,
Test, CI, Infrastructure, Documentation?
• What are the the dos and don'ts of using a
specific language or technology?
+ some Wishful Greenfield Thinking!
// JavaOne 2017 // Everything-as-code -> { created with ❤ and ☕ by @LeanderReimer @qaware }

19. Lightweight Developer Provisioning
• [ SEU ] German acronym; Software Entwicklungs-Umgebung
• Use a build tool for the automated creation and update of a
software development environment
• Software packages are expressed as dependencies
• Gradle tasks and Groovy are used instead of shell scripting
• The SEU definition is version controlled just like ordinary
source code
• Available open source at http://seu-as-code.io
// JavaOne 2017 // Everything-as-code -> { created with ❤ and ☕ by @LeanderReimer @qaware }

20. plugins { id 'de.qaware.seu.as.code.base' version '2.4.0' }
import static de.qaware.seu.as.code.plugins.base.Platform.isMac
seuAsCode {
seuHome = { if (isMac()) '/Volumes/Everything-as-code' else 'Y:' }
projectName = 'Everything-as-code'
}
dependencies {
// list of software dependencies ...
software 'org.groovy-lang:groovy:2.4.7'
software 'org.scala-lang:scala:2.11.8'
software 'org.jruby:jruby:9.1.4.0'
}
// JavaOne 2017 // Everything-as-code -> { created with ❤ and ☕ by @LeanderReimer @qaware }

22. Maven is good. Gradle is 100x faster.
• Very flexible. Gradle can build everything.
• Polyglot builds are supported easily.
• Succinct build scripts. Default conventions over
configuration.
• Incremental builds, reduced build times.
• New features: Kotlin build scripts, Composite Builds,
Parallel Downloads, ...
• Frequent releases. Mature and stable.
// JavaOne 2017 // Everything-as-code -> { created with ❤ and ☕ by @LeanderReimer @qaware }

23. apply plugin: 'application'
apply plugin: 'war'
apply plugin: 'kotlin'
apply plugin: 'groovy'

// and many more ...
}
task everythingAsCode() << {
println 'Everything-as-code using Gradle @ JavaOne 2017.'
}
// JavaOne 2017 // Everything-as-code -> { created with ❤ and ☕ by @LeanderReimer @qaware }

25. There is nothing
wrong with Java as
primary language!
// JavaOne 2017 // Everything-as-code -> { created with ❤ and ☕ by @LeanderReimer @qaware }

26. But Kotlin is a serious
alternative worth considering
as primary language.
// JavaOne 2017 // Everything-as-code -> { created with ❤ and ☕ by @LeanderReimer @qaware }

27. But why Kotlin? And not Scala, Clojure, et.al.
• Easy to learn for Java developers.
• Well-balanced universal language.
• Inbuilt Null safety & Syntactic sugar &
Excellent interoperability.
• JDK6 compatible. Small library size.
• Good IDE and tool support.
// JavaOne 2017 // Everything-as-code -> { created with ❤ and ☕ by @LeanderReimer @qaware }

28. @JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)

30. Welcome to JavaScript wonderland.
• Clear trend towards Single Page Web Applications
• A strange universe on its own!
• Take a currently hip JavaScript UI framework.
• HTML5 + CSS3 + ?
• ? = TypeScript or
• ? = ECMAScript2015 + Babel
• Build Backbone: node + npm + webpack
// JavaOne 2017 // Everything-as-code -> { created with ❤ and ☕ by @LeanderReimer @qaware }

32. Groovy and Spock for Unit & Integration Tests
class BookshelfSpec extends Specification {
@Subject
def bookshelf = new Bookshelf()
@Unroll
def "Find book #title by ISBN #isbn"() {
when: 'we search a book by ISBN'
def book = bookshelf.byIsbn(isbn)
then: 'the title and author are correct'
book?.title == title
book?.author == author
where:
isbn || title | author
"0345391802" || "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" | "Douglas Adams"
"0345391829" || "Life, the Universe and Everything" | "Douglas Adams"
}
}

33. Scala and Gatling for Load Testing
class BooksPerformanceTest extends Simulation {
val conf = http.baseURL("http://localhost:18080").acceptHeader("application/json")
val feeder = csv("books.csv").random
val scn = scenario("Book Search")
.exec(http("Get all books").get("/api/books"))
.during(30 seconds) {
feed(feeder)
.exec(http("Get book by title ${Title}").get("/api/books?title=${Title}"))
.pause(1 second)
.exec(http("Get book with ISBN ${ISBN}").get("/api/books/${ISBN}"))
}
setUp(scn.inject(atOnceUsers(10), rampUsers(50) over (30 seconds)))
.assertions(global.responseTime.max.lessThan(5000))
.protocols(conf)
}
// JavaOne 2017 // Everything-as-code -> { created with ❤ and ☕ by @LeanderReimer @qaware }

35. Build Pipeline Definition via Jenkinsfile
#!/usr/bin/env groovy
node {
stage 'Checkout SCM'
checkout scm
stage 'Build/Analyse/Test'
sh './gradlew clean build'
archiveUnitTestResults()
archiveDistributions()

42. Yes, we need documentation!
• And no, the source code is not enough.
• Writing technical docs with Word is ! " #
• Documentation should be located next to the
source code: change code, change docs.
• It should be easy, quick and fun to write.
• Support for code, images, UML diagrams, ...

46. Architecture documentation using Structurizr
def workspace = new Workspace("Everything-as-code", "The system context of Everything-as-code.")
def model = workspace.model
// create a model and the software system we want to describe
def bookApp = model.addSoftwareSystem("Book Application", "The best source to get info on books.")
// create the various types of people (roles) that use the software system
def anonymousUser = model.addPerson("Anonymous User", "Anybody on the web.")
anonymousUser.uses(bookApp, "Searches for books and views details.")
def browser = bookApp.addContainer("Web Browser",
"Allows users to view information about books", "Edge, Chrome, Firefox")
anonymousUser.uses(browser, "Views information from and makes requests to")
def webApp = bookApp.addContainer("Web Application",
"Hosts the browser-based web application and services", "Payara Fish")
browser.uses(webApp, "uses [JSON/HTTPS]")

47. Architecture validation using QAvalidator
architecture(name: "Mail Example", prefix: "tview", reflexMLversion: "1.0") {
excludes "java.lang.*"
api "JavaMail" : "javax.mail.*"
component "Mail" {
api "IMail" : "de.qaware.mail.*"
impl ["de.qaware.mail.impl.*", "de.qaware.mail.impl2.*"]
uses "JavaMail"
component "MailSender" {
api ["de.qaware.mail.sender.*", "javax.mail.*"]
impl "de.qaware.mail.impl.javamail.JavaMailSender"
uses "JavaMail"
}

51. State of the art
software projects
are polyglot.

52. Use the right tool
for the job!

53. Use common sense!
The right language and tool depends on your
team, the project context and your customer.
