This talk is a must-watch for people in the Event-Driven space. I saw @noctovis.bsky.social giving it live at this year's DDDEU, and I truly believe that she nailed the versioning topic 👇🙂 www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TCb...

After the last article on Race Conditions in EDA, I got such a question from Ben: "You described the scenario where you know what events you should receive, just not the order. But what if you don’t know that? ... 1/

Hence deferring strategy to name "things" might be really desirable, as "naming is framing" - then "models" (of thinking) then are constrainted just by the act of "naming". I tried to express some thoughts on that topic too talesfrom.dev/blog/the-amb...

I read it as "Models are models but that's ok" :-)

The quote "All models are wrong but some are useful" should not be read as an excuse to stick with your model. It's a call to actively search for more useful models.

#Java and #JVM folks, are you using the Outbox Pattern? If yes, then which tool are you using? It's a genuine question; I'd like to see if my anecdotal observations are real 🙂 Homebrewed? Debezium? Spring Modulith, other? 🤔

Packages' peer dependency issues are something that makes me hate the world sometimes 😫

Old but seems still relevant udidahan.com/2010/08/31/r.... Crazy how quickly everything changes in software :P

Recurring questions during my consultancy are: - How to deal with race conditions? - I'm getting events out of order from other services. I wrote an article today about the technique that should take you far enough explaining how read models can help you in that. event-driven.io/en/dealing_w...

We're saying that in the event-driven world, events are facts. But that's just half the truth Events that we store/publish are facts for us, or at least represent the current state of our knowledge Events from external systems are rumours at best. We need to interpret them to make them (our) facts

How to tell that you're using Java without mentioning Java? I just used DefaultKafkaProducerFactoryCustomizer.

I packed as many of such cases into our talk and the recording from this year’s @dddeu.bsky.social just arrived: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lf1M... I explained the specifics of event modelling (yes, no capital letter, and double l), starting with bad practices and knowing why and how to avoid them 3/

Achievement Unlocked: When you ask LLM to do research while brainstorming, and it asks you back if it can read your own article on this topic 😅

Spreading my repository everywhere to collect feedback. It's at an early state... codeberg.org/flensrocker/...

I’m always saying that with Event-Driven Architectures, the modelling effort pays back. That goes both ways: the less effort we put in modelling, the more it’ll hurt later. 1/

I like these kinds of articles, thank you @oskardudycz.bsky.social #EventSourcing #PostgreSQL event-driven.io/en/ordering_...

Happy about it as @icooper.bsky.social is on my short list of the people I respect the most in messaging and architecture. Plus, he's a cool guy, so feel invited, we'll try to keep it lightweight, but I'm sure that Ian will bring sound insights 🙂

See what I just merged! 🎉🐶 There are a few steps left, but hey! The First working version of #SQLite support in #Pongo landed in the main branch! github.com/event-driven...

GenAI images in slides, blog posts, newsletters, and the like are a crystal-clear sign of an author with terrible taste. If you use one, I’ll probably skip the text altogether. If I’m forced to read it for some reason, I won’t take either the content or the author seriously.

LoL. Now I wonder if all those people who were bashing Open Source creators in this thread will stop and do some retrospective on what they wrote. I doubt it, but it'd be great if they did. github.com/dotnet/aspne...

#Pongo just reached 1300 🌟 on GitHub! Nice! If you’d like to match #MongoDB accessibility with #PostgreSQL powers - try it! github.com/event-driven...

After all those years Super Frog is still such a fun game to play 🐸❤️

Sneaky code bites back, I realised that again recently. I realised I'd been writing terrible code when I couldn't explain it to myself. The code worked. It was adding SQLite support to Pongo. But when I tried to describe how I was implementing multi-database support, I heard myself saying... 1/

this exists it is called thinking

⚡️ Estonian opposition calls for eastern border closure after Russia violates airspace

reading all the h1b worker first hand accounts who turned around at the airport and just accepted they could no longer go visit family and friends and they are basically at the mercy of their employers for this 100k thing. it’s heart breaking. globalnews.ca/news/1143776...

I'll just put it here

Me ATM fighting with the #TypeScript generics while reshaping #Pongo API 😅

As requested, I published an article about how the UI profiler works: minidump.net/measuring-ui... It allows me to measure the responsiveness of Visual Studio when running with ReSharper, in various conditions. I also made the source code available on github: github.com/kevingosse/U...

“Look Ma’ no hands!” It’s interesting how much audience (in our industry) are getting people showing that’s the best/only way to ride a bicycle. For some it is, but they usually have big red noses. For other trying to follow that advice, the next step is tho „Look Ma’ no teeth!” 🤷‍♂️

I know that’s not going to happen, and I know that it’s already too late, but it’d be great if people from the US read Paul Lynch's” Prophet Song”. Unfortunately, it’s too precisely what’s happening there. And, well, not only there… www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...

One more reminder that Slack is a terrible choice for communities, and extorts even nonprofits. Even when it’s one teaching teens to code, for free. Hack Club is moving to Mattermost. They really have no choice. Just a poor taste how Slack demands $50K in a week, no real notice

Do you want to learn more about cool #PostgreSQL features like partitioning, logical replication? Know also more about dos and donts from my experience? After receiving a ton of questions on last week's Particular Software webinar on #PostgreSQL Superpowers, I did a Q&A, discussing those topics 1/

@oskardudycz.bsky.social given you're into Postgres, I can highly recommend this book www.goodreads.com/book/show/46... (I'm not sure where you can still buy it, best to contact Alex Korban, the author).

@julientopcu.com @tpierrain.bsky.social I was playing for fun today with the Architecture as Code to define modules, their relationships and composing dependencies for #Emmett in #TypeScrip and… I think that Hive works great for that! If you’d like to I could show you that when it’s more polished🙂

Could someone explain to me why do we need nowadays a random YT influencer to do read article for us? Taking also more time than reading on your own and not adding much value other than lame jokes and fluff comments. I think that I’m old to get it.

Not even close.

No shot towards any particular library, but it's crazy how .NET did a full loop and now we're again into attribute-based magic mess with code generation. This approach has its place (I was using it in Marten, and the team still does that), it can make performance better, but ask Java friend....

Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, I’m saying that’s not a matter of IF but WHEN. Poland, Latvia and Lithuania will be next. Unfortunately, today we have the next proof of that. 1/

Big news! My book, "Shift: The Playbook for Event-Driven Architecture Advocacy," is officially available for pre-order! It's been a long time coming and I'm super excited to finally get this into your hands.

If you're still unsure what the story is behind the #PostgreSQL popularity, then it's the right time to do something. Doing something means clicking the link below and signing up for my tomorrow's webinar! particular.net/webinars/pos... 1/
