  • Which collection interface to use? - Let’s talk about when to use which collection type and why. [Enterprise Craftsmanship]
  • Critically Engaging With Models (DDD Europe Keynote) - Here’s the video of Rebecca Wirfs-Brock & my keynote at Domain-Driven Design Europe 2022, where we talk about the ideas presented in our essay “Critically Engaging with Models”, also available as an e-book on Leanpub. Watch on YouTube Abstract Models, whether for a software system, a development process, diseases, political systems, or otherwise, are a way to look at (a part of) the world. They make a choice about what is important, what categories we classify things in, what we see, what’s invisible, what’s valued, or even what’s valid. They are reductionist, that is, they only show a selection of the subject they’re describing. And they are biased: They implicitly reflect the assumptions, constraints, and values of the model’s author. Most of the time, when you adopt a model created by someone else, you assimilate it into your worldview without much thought. [Mathias Verraes]

  • Data Mesh Accelerate Workshop - Over the last couple of years, we've been helping several enterprises use the Data Mesh approach to managing analytical data.

To help our clients do thisPaulo Caroli and Steve Upton describe the Data Mesh Accelerate Workshop, a four half-day program to align people involved in the effort and explore the process for identifying and building data products.

Week 51, year 2022

  • Is your downstream data drifting? - In today's complex and fast-paced business environments, enterprises are often faced with the challenge of managing large amounts of data and ensuring that it is accurate, consistent, and accessible. One of the key pain points that many enterprises face is the loss of accuracy in your downstream data - the data that is passed from one system to another, often through a series of transformations and manipulations. As more and more enterprises adopt event-driven architectures, they are finding that their traditional databases are not well-suited to supporting these systems. In particular, many enterprises have lost control of their downstream data, and are struggling to maintain data quality and consistency. [Event Store blog]
