Modern APL as a language is known to produce exceptionally high performance, high level code that is concise and scales in a variety of dimensions, including the human factors of time to market and time to iterate. However, many new users of APL struggle to make sense of the wide array of integrations and tooling support provided by the Dyalog ecosystem, and often feel lost about how to architect their systems, deploy them, and integrate their APL code into new and existing products. This talk addresses these confusions by providing straightforward guidance and best practices, as well as providing a clear roadmap to navigating the wide array of APL tooling and products available. These ideas are demonstrated through recently developed APL applications that are designed to not only deliver value to the APL community, but also to showcase design and architectural models and frameworks that can be used to simplify your APL deployments and improve the ease with which you can integrate APL with external software by reducing boilerplate and focusing on the core business value of the application instead of complex systems design. We will further connect these practices with the philosophical and theoretical elements of APL and how these principles drive our integration and architecture choices.
