Welcome

Welcome to our blog about all kind of topics that are related to software development. We blog about:

SOA, BPM, EDA, ECM and all the other buzz words. Beware some post might not be so common as you think. We are not scared to go against main stream thoughts.

CQRS – Designing domain events

Command-Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) is slowly but steadily gaining ground as an architecture that helps developers to develop scalable, extensible and maintainable applications. Events play a major role in this architecture, and the way you design these events greatly influence the extensibility of your application.

In this post, I describe some CQRS event basics [...]

CQRS made easy with cqrs4j

 

Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) is an architectural style that makes a clear distinction between commands, which tell an application to do something, and queries, which are requests for information from an application. This distinction comes from the fact that the requirements (and thus also the model) for the execution and validation of commands [...]

Bring some stability to your architecture

Applications have to run in high-consequence environments. They have to serve hundreds of thousands of users 24 / 7. Our clients spend millions in hard- and software and highly depend on the revenue generated by these applications. Unnecessary outage of these application is fatal.

Software Architects play an important role in setting up an architecture [...]

Why are web services so different from an HTML user interface?

We all know how a typical web application is usually built up. The image at the side rougly displays the different layers that are to be found in an application. Typically, the user interface layer receives HTTP requests, calls one or more methods in the Business logic layer, and responds with an HTTP message containing [...]
