Advocate, educator, and authorial stance - When I'm writing, or mentoring others in writing, about a particular technique I prefer to take the role of an educator rather than that of an advocate. When doing that, I see two main stances an author can take. One is to focus on the trade-offs between this technique and its alternatives, the other is to focus on the merits of the particular technique and not discuss the alternatives. [Martin Fowler]

Secondary Server Nodes in Axon Server - Optimized storage for cost efficiency - Cost optimization for Axon Server deployments without sacrificing performance is very important to our customers. The most commonly used technique is the optimization of storage for the events. To cater for this optimized storage, Axon Server Enterprise Edition (ASEE) provides the concept of multi-tiered storage - a secondary server node. This capability not only helps lower storage costs but also helps retain the performance and, in some cases, actually improvising it. This technique splits the storage of events across multiple nodes within an ASEE cluster. ASEE nodes have designated roles within a cluster: Primary / Backup and Messaging-Only. ASEE introduced a new role - Secondary since version 4.4, to cater for this split (also known as multi-tier) storage requirement. By designating a node as a “Secondary” node within a cluster, the storage of events is distributed between the “Primary” and “Secondary” nodes. [Blog]

Securing Web APIs with Azure AD: A Case Study - Recently, I was on a project where the company had a big push towards a "Zero Trust" security model. This concept was new to me, and I'd always been on clients where we had to secure APIs. [Jimmy Bogard]
Stuff The Internet Says On Scalability For July 11th, 2022 - Never fear, HighScalability is here! Every cell a universe. Most detailed image of a human cell to date. @microscopicture Other images considered: one byte of RAM in 1946; visual guide on troubleshooting Kubernetes; Cloudflare using lava lamps to generate cryptographic keys; 5MB of data looked like in 1966 My Stuff: Love this Stuff? I need your support on Patreon to help keep this stuff going. Know anyone who needs to go from zero to cloud? My book teaches them all they need to know about the cloud.

Is keeping dates in UTC really the best solution? - In many projects, the approach to dates is quite nonchalant. People do as they want. When on-premise systems were king, the common problem… [Event-Driven by Oskar Dudycz]
Legacy Displacement: Revert to Source - Legacy systems often act as integration hubs, ingesting source data to pass on to downstream systems. A new downstream system can decouple itself from legacy by finding the source of data to the legacy and integrating directly to that instead. Ian Cartwright, Rob Horn, and James Lewis describe this Revert to Source pattern, explaining that this part of legacy displacement often also allows a new system to take advantage of upgrades to source data that the legacy had neglected.

Event Store's Highlights from DDDEU 2022 - Event Store was a platinum sponsor at this year's DDDEU. The conference offered workshops, hands-on labs, a foundations day, and a jammed-packed conference schedule covering hot topics in software modelling, design strategy, and architecture. There were after-event socials at the venue and meet-ups during the lunch breaks. The event offered wholly vegetarian (and amazing) food to help lower its carbon footprint. [Event Store blog]
