IT Spektrum ist eine gute Sache (sehr von mir geschätzte, kompetente Kollegen tragen mit ihren Artikeln dazu bei), aber zu behaupten, jedes Wort sei von Experten geprüft und dann Architektur falsch zu schreiben, ist auch ein bisschen lustig 😃.

Check out the code.talks conference on November 4./5. Great location, impressive speaker list, huge party in the evening of the first day, and I'll be there, too! With the code CT50-FINALCALL, you'll get 50% off the ticket price 🎫. #eda #eventdrivenarchitecture #softwarearchitecture #conference

I'll be speaking about workflows (or long-running processes) and options to deal with them. Especially if you're interested in event-driven architecture: We'll explore how to implement them in an event-driven way, and how that compares to using orchestration / a durable execution engine.

Update: I heard from the author, and yes, it is in fact no longer maintained. The good news, though: There'll be a successor. And it's on Bluesky: bsky.app/profile/code...

Saga Pattern, Transactional Outbox, Clickbait Events ... In Event-Driven Architecture gibt's viele Patterns & Anti-Patterns. Nächsten Dienstag bei oose teile ich 4–5 spannende Cases. Anmelden & weitersagen! 👇 www.meetup.com/de-de/oose-e... #EDA #SoftwareArchitecture

Am 26./27.11. gebe ich in Hamburg mein Training zu Event-Driven Architecture, bewusst vor Ort: zwei Tage raus aus dem Projektalltag und Zeit für die Grundlagen. Outbox, Idempotenz, Fehlerbehandlung, Prozesse über viele Services. 🧵

I opened Haskell for Mac haskellformac.com after a long time today. It hasn't been updated in 5 yrs, Intel/Rosetta only. The website has no SSL, the support website support.hfm.io doesn't exist. So it's probably abandoned. It's still in the App Store, though.

EDA gets recommended for microservices. Then a real business process turns up, and inventory, payment and shipping all have to move together. The usual reach is a workflow engine or the Saga pattern: one coordinator sends commands and waits for replies.

Which is reasonable, until you look at what it is. A coordinator that sends a request and waits for a reply is doing request-response. Maybe over Kafka, maybe named like events, but still command-driven. You set out for decoupling and brought runtime coupling back.

So is orchestration a requirement for cross-domain workflows, or a habit carried over from monoliths? My code.talks talk makes the case for choreography, and for breaking big workflows into micro-workflows, not distributing them. Hamburg, 5 Nov. #EventDrivenArchitecture

Nur zur Erinnerung: Den 10% Early Bird Rabatt gibt es nur bis 90 Tage vor der Schulung. Der nächste Termin ist 26./27.11.2026, also um zu sparen - bis Freitag 28.8. buchen - den Code "EARLY_BIRD" angeben.

New talk: the Kafka ecosystem in 2026. Drop-in alternatives speaking the Kafka protocol (Redpanda, WarpStream, AutoMQ, Bufstream), what diskless architectures actually change, smarter clients, proxies and gateways, plus KIP-932 and KIP-1150. Kafka is a protocol now, not just a broker. #kafka #eda

I gave a one-day workshop on event-driven architecture (of course). It's an unusual format (1 full day) and group size (some 30 people) for me and I had to improvise a lot, the conversations I like to do in smaller groups didn't work in that context.

The talks are short and in that environment it's a bit hard to get immersed in them. But they are very varied and sometimes there are pearls to be discovered - for example this year I learned about FreeST, a "language for safe concurrency powered by context-free session types". Thanks Veit Heller!

I‘ll be at the WeAreDevelopers World Congress in Berlin next week. Happy to discuss building and evolving engineering organizations, strategic technology leadership, or event-driven architecture. If you’re also there and want to meet up, DM me. #eda #eventdrivenarchitecture #ddd #teamtopologies
