The week began as busy as ever. And then I learned that one more task — beyond everything else on my plate — must be accomplished. Which task? The one you are reading. Why? For the record, at Uber, we’re moving many of our microservices to what @copyconstruct calls macroservices (wells-sized services). Exactly b/c testing and maintaining thousands of …
We love our handpicked trainers! Here is an opportunity for you to get to know Tomasz Jaskula, our trainer for French and Polish IDDD Workshops. Tomasz Jaskula Tomasz, you’ve known Vaughn for many years. How did you meet? I had the pleasure of meeting Vaughn in person in 2013 during one of the first IDDD …
I had the pleasure of meeting a wonderful group of individuals in Amsterdam who participated in the Reactive Domain-Driven Design with the XOOM/PLATFORM day. Wow! That’s a mouthfull! Some of the XOOM contributors and the Kalele team were able to carve out some time in everyone’s busy schedule to connect in the wonderful city of …
The easiest way to get up and running quickly with XOOM, along with an explanation of our position on open source innovation. We’ve decided to introduce a familiar way to learn the different components of the XOOM toolset—without the need to understand everything about our platform up front. It is our belief that all application …
The inquiry arrived: “Are time lapsed events Domain Events?” The question is the result of wrestling with whether YearEnded and similar occurrences are actually useful. The inquirer’s assertion is that rather than capturing the fact that the year ended, just send a Command that requires some outcome as a result of the fact that the year ended. Of …
I was asked to justify reactive software development and XOOM for teams that have already achieved development and deployment of microservices. Here’s the question: After your team has reached the point of developing microservices, perhaps even successfully strangling a Big Ball of Mud monolith, does reactive still matter, and does XOOM still have relevance to such …
After Microservices, Does Reactive Still Matter? Read More »
I recently read an article about Cloud-Native vs Reactive development, in which the statement is made that Cloud-Native looks a lot like Reactive. The article asserts several points that could make pursuit of both Cloud-Native and Reactive seem unreachably complex.
Several have requested a document describing the XOOM/PLATFORM architecture. So here it is. This specific article is kept relatively brief. This is in part to emphasize the simplicity of the XOOM/PLATFORM. It’s just not complicated or difficult to describe. The other motivation for brevity is not knowing entirely what architects and developers are looking for in …
This new platform represents my vision for software development from years ago. I have taken a few side tracks along the way. Previously I felt that I would be better off trying to contribute my vision to heavily funded efforts that have multiple teams, those that would easily out perform me alone. That was a …
