- Combining orchestration and choreography can provide a clean architecture for software systems. Orchestration uses a command-based style while choreography uses an event-driven communication style.
- Writing integrations following clean and hexagonal architecture principles increases maintainability, testability, and flexibility. This involves organizing the architecture into layers with adapters translating between systems and no outgoing dependencies from the domain core.
- Applying domain-driven design patterns like bounded contexts and domain events can further improve decoupling when combined with orchestration and choreography. Key practices include throwing events for data changes and only using them for communication outside bounded contexts.
