  • Keep your streams short! Temporal modeling for fast reads and optimal data retention - Modeling is hard. We need to take so many things into account. This article will explain the basics of temporal modeling, a foundation for keeping your stream short living.

  • Team-sourced Architectural Principles - Having architectural principles is not new, but in a world of highly-autonomous-teams they become essential because they are the means by which an aligned delivery direction is achieved without the need for control. In the latest installment, Andrew talks about what makes a good principle, and how they work with the Advice Process. more… [Martin Fowler]
  • Use commercial integration tools to simplify implementation concerns - Thus far, Brandon has has explained why general purpose languages are better for integration. In this latest installment he explains that there are cases when commercial integration tools make sense more… [Martin Fowler]
