KAPPA your Domain Model into the Data-Mesh Architecture as Events
Use ‘Events as a Data Product’ in the Data-Mesh by applying ‘Data on the outside’ thinking using KAPPA architecture: Continue reading

Event Sourcing and Consistency
Event sourcing gives us a few benefits such as in-built audit logs, replay/rebuilds, multiple projections (read models), and non-blocking writes. There is always the other side of every benefit we enjoy in the architecture language – we call these trade-offs. One such trade-off to consider is eventual consistency vs strong consistency and in this post, Continue reading

Lessons from developing and supporting event sourcing based system
Not only does the event sourcing inherit complexities of the asynchronous world, but it also amplifies them. In this post, I will discuss what I have learnt from developing and supporting a system built based on event sourcing. I will use an example to share my learning and experiences below, as I believe examples help Continue reading

When it comes to the events, the big debate is about the contents of its body. Martin Fowler has written a great post on this topic. Some devs argue that events should carry the complete load with it, I am calling them Fat Events (Event Carried State Transfer) in this blog. And then we have Continue reading

Extracting microservice from a complex Monolith.
In real-world monoliths, code of a single bounded context is spread across many dimensions. Extracting that code may require significant refactorings. It is rare to get an opportunity to refactor as a project of its own (in fact I do not believe that it is the best approach). So we try to do refactoring as Continue reading

How to create a dotnet based SPA and deploy it with docker?
Besides an opportunity for my team to return to the comforts of dotnet from nodejs, performance improvements in asp.net core (as evident from the latest round i.e. 16 of Web Framework Benchmarks by TechEmpower) was another good reason to trial it for an internal microsite with limited users. Creating from SPA template Dotnet core SPA Continue reading

Events Love Commands
Furthermore to my previous post where I tried to compare events and commands, here I am presenting a scenario where they complement each other. As discussed, both of them are types of the messages and used for different purposes; while event messages are a backbone of the event-driven system, I believe that commands can add Continue reading

Immutable audit log in Cosmos DB
Cosmos DB has loads to offer, which make it a preferred choice in so many scenarios. Recently I was working on an audit log which is expected to be reasonably immutable (theoretically, every information on digital media is mutable). After looking at a few choices, we chose Cosmos DB along with Azure Service Bus and Continue reading
