Design patterns and architectures for building production quality applications using functional programming.
Functional Design and Architecture is a pioneering guide to software engineering using Haskell and other functional languages. In it, you’ll discover Functional Declarative Design and other design principles perfect for working in Haskell, PureScript, F#, and Scala.
In Functional Design and Architecture you will learn:
- Designing production applications in statically typed functional languages such as Haskell
- Controlling code complexity with functional interfaces
- Architectures, subsystems, and services for functional languages
- Developing concurrent frameworks and multithreaded applications
- Domain-driven design using free monads and other functional tools
- Property-based, integrational, functional, unit, and automatic whitebox testing
Functional Design and Architecture lays out a comprehensive and complete approach to software design that utilizes the powerful and fascinating ideas of functional programming. Its examples are in Haskell, but its universal principles can be put into practice with any functional programming language. Inside, you’ll find cutting-edge functional design principles and practices for every stage of application development, from architecting your application through to running simple and maintainable tests.
About the Technology
Functional programming affects every aspect of software development, from how you write individual lines of code to the way you organize your applications and data. In fact, many standard OO patterns are unsuitable or unnecessary for FP applications. This book will reorient your thinking to align software design with a functional programming style. The examples are in Haskell, but the ideas are universal.
About the Book
Functional Design and Architecture teaches you how to design software following the unique principles of functional programming. You’ll explore FP-first paradigms like Functional Declarative Design by building interesting applications, including a fun spaceship control simulator and a full-fledged backend framework. This is an opinionated book and you may disagree on some points. But we guarantee it will make you think in a fresh way about how you design software.
What's Inside
- Control code complexity with functional interfaces
- Architectures, subsystems, and services for functional languages
- Domain-driven design using free monads
- Property-based and automatic whitebox testing
- Recalibrate OO designs for functional environments
About the Reader
For experienced developers who know a functional language.

Quotes
Comprehensive, with simple and clear code examples, lots of diagrams, and very little jargon!
- Scott Wlaschin, author of Domain Modeling Made Functional
Fills an empty slot in the field of software architecture. I enjoyed reading about Haskell applications from the perspective of design and architecture.
- Vitaly Bragilevsky, JetBrains, author of Haskell in Depth
Discusses the goodness of functional programming patterns in the context of real world business applications. It explains free monads beautifully.

O’Reilly covers everything we've got, with content to help us build a world-class technology community, upgrade the capabilities and competencies of our teams, and improve overall team performance as well as their engagement.Julian F.
I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.Addison B.
I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.Amir M.
I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
