– Room 6
Jarle Mathiesen is a senior consultant at Knowit and has been working as a consultant for 8 years. He is a full stack developer with a strong focus on backend systems.
He cares deeply about architecture, building robust and testable systems, and keeping designs simple. He is also interested in software craftsmanship and how AI agents are changing the way we build software.
Service layers often start simple but slowly turn into a mix of business logic, infrastructure calls, and "just one more thing". The result is hard-to-read code, fragile tests, and a structure that depends more on discipline than design.
There are well-known solutions like onion, hexagonal, or clean architecture. They work - but they also require a lot of upfront understanding and ongoing effort to keep intact. In practice, many teams don't fully adopt them.
In this talk, I'll share a small, practical approach I've used to bring structure back into service layers - without introducing heavy patterns or requiring everyone to "buy in" to a big architectural model.
We'll look at a real example, how it evolves, and what changes make the biggest difference. The focus is on something you can apply immediately, even in an existing codebase.
Backend developers who have experienced service code becoming messy or hard to maintain. Attendeed will leave with a simple, practical way to structure their code and make it easier to work with.
