• Dispelling the Eventual Consistency FUD when using Event Sourcing - We in the CQRS/ES space are equally guilty of not countering the FUD with enough examples and literature that gives relevant data points for folks wanting to adopt these patterns. What if I told you that your systems built with CQRS/ES are as transactionally consistent as systems that are built without these patterns using the more formal methods of storage! [Axon Framework and related blogs via Aggregater Linklog]
• XOOM Ecosystem - We have invested heavily in the creation of a software ecosystem that accelerates the development and delivery of solutions to complex business systems that use leading-edge architectures. The ecosystem described here is the open source XOOM platform SDK. There are a number of open source components available with the platform, but these are most easily … XOOM Ecosystem Read More » The post XOOM Ecosystem appeared first on Kalele. [Kalele]

• Stuff The Internet Says On Scalability For March 17th, 2021 - Hey, HighScalability is here again! Reverse engineering an ancient analog computer is a detective story worth reading. A Model of the Cosmos in the ancient Greek Antikythera Mechanism. Do you love this Stuff? Without your encouragement on Patreon this Stuff won't stuffin’ stuff.

• Commanded application architecture - Describes the various ways you can architect your (CQRS/ES) Elixir application with Commanded and EventStore. [Binary Consulting via Aggregater Linklog]
• No Comparison - Our first principles highlight our unique motivations and goals. Some have asked us to compare the VLINGO XOOM platform and specific components, such as XOOM Actors, with frameworks and toolkits offered by various vendors. This is the wrong question because it assumes that our platform is founded on the same philosophies and motivations as those … No Comparison Read More » The post No Comparison appeared first on Kalele.

• The Legacy Mirror Heuristic - Decision-making heuristics are patterns and ideas that can help us find another angle, generate new options, evaluate them, or otherwise address the problem. They don’t guarantee a good answer, they only give you some possible progress towards an answers. The Legacy Mirror Heuristic1 helps you to evaluate whether to adopt a new idea, method, or technology. It works by imagining the new idea has actually been the mainstream choice for the past 30 years, and you just learned about the old idea for the first time. Example: EventSourcing (EventSourcing is a relatively niche way to store and work with data, based on a very old2 idea. ) A recurring question is whether to adopt EventSourcing in favour of more mainstream data storage.

• Taming the WSL 2 Resource Monster - I've switched all of my Docker and *nix usage to use WSL 2 for a while now, and largely have been free of any issues/problems. That is, until recently, when I've been working on speeding up my team's production Docker image builds (another story). This work heavily involved modifying [Jimmy Bogard]
• Crossing the Generics Divide - Generics are great, until they aren't, and when they aren't is when you don't know the type at compile-time but at runtime. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, and isn't necessarily a design problem. Remember, void Main is not generic, so at some point, your program needs to cross the [Jimmy Bogard]

• Speed Matters - More than 20 years ago my team and I were working with my client on a web application. It was still 1999, so the dot-com bubble had not yet burst, but it would begin to weaken only five months or so into Y2K.

• Engineering dependability and fault tolerance in a distributed system - This is a guest post by Paddy Byers, Co-founder and CTO at Ably, a realtime data delivery platform. You can view the original article on Ably's blog. Users need to know that they can depend on the service that is provided to them. In practice, because from time to time individual elements will inevitably fail, this means you have to be able to continue in spite of those failures. In this article, we discuss the concepts of dependability and fault tolerance in detail and explain how the Ably platform is designed with fault tolerant approaches to uphold its dependability guarantees. As a basis for that discussion, first some definitions: Dependability The degree to which a product or service can be relied upon. [High Scalability]

• Benchmark (YCSB) numbers for Redis, MongoDB, Couchbase2, Yugabyte and BangDB - This is guest post by Sachin Sinha who is passionate about data, analytics and machine learning at scale. Author & founder of BangDB. This article is to simply report the YCSB bench test results in detail for five NoSQL databases namely Redis, MongoDB, Couchbase, Yugabyte and BangDB and compare the result side by side. I have used latest versions for each NoSQL DB and have followed the recommendations to run all the databases in optimized conditions. I have also used the default six test scenarios as defined by the YCSB framework. I have restricted it to 10M records for each test. [High Scalability]
