Domain-Driven Design supports reactive architecture and programming. Still, reactive introduces uncertainty. Back in 2003, the way that Domain-Driven Design was used and implemented is quite different than the way we use it today. If you’ve read my book, “Implementing Domain-Driven Design”, you’re probably familiar with the fact that the Bounded Contexts I model in the …
I recently discussed my diagramming style with an author of a book in my signature series.

This purpose is achieved by bringing together people from different backgrounds and allowing them to learn from each other by telling and visualizing stories. If you practice EventStorming, you might see …

Brick and Mortar 2.0 — no shoplifter, but tech hipster Supermärkte mit Self-Checkout — also Bezahlen ohne Kasse und Kassierer — gibt es schon eine Weile. Seit ein paar Jahren kann man so auch in Deutschland einkaufen.

One of the biggest problems with business software is that architecture gets promoted more than the domain model. Further, most domain models are ordinary, and could be implemented by school students for a lot less cost than the 7-9 figures often spent. Yet, often the software architecture supporting a model—almost certainly anemic—is generally over engineered. …
The influence of business communication structures on software. It is rare to see business and technology align to reach a fullness of competitive advantage. If you look carefully at the most successful companies, they are such because of the ability of major stakeholders to communicate laterally, and as a result, the strong human and team …
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 …
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 …
