- Event Store: On-premise or Cloud - These days, security has become essential to modern data management.

- Our road to cyber security certification: We did it! Lessons learned - I haven’t posted anything in recent months, for a good reason: I was super focused and busy with our final steps towards our certification. And it worked, we achieved the certifications! [Event Store blog]

- Bottlenecks of Scaleups: How did you get tech debt? - In its early days, a startup searches for a good product-market fit. When it finds one it looks to grow rapidly, a phase known as a scaleup. At this time it's growing rapidly along many dimensions: revenues, customer, headcount. At Thoughtworks, we've worked with many such scaleups, and our work has focused on how to help them overcome various bottlenecks that impede this growth. As we've done this work, my colleagues have noticed common bottlenecks, and learned approaches to deal with them. This article, by Tim Cochran and Carl Nygard, is the first in a series that examines these bottlenecks, in this case looking at the problem of a startup accumulating technical debt. [Martin Fowler]
- How to get out of the tech debt bottleneck - Tim Cochran and Carl Nygard finish their examination of the tech debt bottleneck by looking at how to get out of it. This includes close collaboration betwen product and engineering, a strategy for the four phases of a startup's journey, and empowering teams to fix the tech debt problems. [Martin Fowler]

- How scaleups get constrained by talent - The second bottleneck in the series looks at talent, and how scaleups struggle to hire enough good people. Tim Cochran and Roni Smith explain how the small network and informal processes that allow early stage startups to grow begin to fail during the scaleup phase, and what signs indicate a new approach is needed. [Martin Fowler]
- A (Hopefully) Gentle Introduction to Serialized and Event Sourcing - In this article Raymond Camden explores Serialized and takes us though his journey of how Serialized could be used to build a CMS using Event Sourcing. [Serialized development blog]
