The Branch by Abstraction Pattern is a method of trunk-based development. Rather than modifying the code in a separate branch, and merging the results when finished, the idea is to make modifications in the main branch. An abstraction layer is used to ""branch"" the code along an old and new path. This approach has some key advantages, especially when decomposing a monolith.

Lucia Cerchie explains what an Apache Kafka® cluster is, and why it's unique. Learn how Kafka supports speed, scalability, and durability through its cluster structure.

The Strangler or Strangler Fig Pattern is a process for decomposing a monolith into microservices. It allows rapid delivery of business value while reducing risk. This video introduces the pattern and outlines how it can be used to decompose a monolith.
