• Consistency in Event-Driven Systems (talk) - Distributed systems don't come with transactions. So how do we keep data consistent across services? Let's explore dual writes, the outbox pattern, and sagas — and when to reach for each.
• Vertical Slice Architecture - Let's organize the codebase by business capabilities rather than technical concerns. This approach slices the application vertically and challenges the traditional, layered, approach.
• Monads In Java - Functional programming paradigms and their abstract algebra terms can be overwhelming... But, getting a handle on "monads" will help us better grasp modern Java APIs. In this article, I've tried to find the right balance between theory and practical Java examples.
• "Tidy First?" - Book Review - My thoughts on Kent Beck's "Tidy First?" and my post-reading commitments.
• Anemic vs Rich Domain Objects - Not everything is about FP! In this article, we'll question "getters" and "setters", we'll empower our objects by encapsulating business logic and enriching our domain.
• Poison Pills and Magic Bytes - Error handling in event-driven architectures with, Spring Boot and Kafka.

• Model Based Testing with Testcontainers and Jqwik - Running our apps through a marathon of random scenarios to see which version collapses first.
• Less Mocks, More Functions - Using the Functional Programming paradigm to push the impurities outside of our domain, and increase its testability.
• Spring Boot Support for Testcontainers - A leap towards reliable testing.

And this is just a brief selection, (see all articles here).
