Functional Architecture for the Practical Rubyist

on YouTube ↗39m

" summary

Argues for modeling behavior as small functional objects (objects named by a verb with a call method) and state as immutable value objects, wired together with dependency injection via dry-system and companion gems (dry-rb, dry-validation, dry-types). Shows concrete examples: an ImportProducts pipeline that downloads a feed, maps to repository writes, and is easy to mock in tests. Claims improved SOLID compliance, a dependency graph that becomes a directed acyclic graph, and reports Icelab shipped 10+ apps in two years using this approach successfully.
