Lots of people do exactly that (treat it like a dumb data store) and are wildly successful. Do what you want, but don't say other people shouldn't do it a different way which has been proven to work.

It may be that its easier for people to define the desired result set, then tweak the query until it gives them what they want.

I'm very interested in your learnings. I've worked on enterprise collaboration software before, and came to the conclusions that the users will favour using the simplest thing for the task in hand (email or excel) no matter what S

Yup. It would be nice if there was some way to review the listings, and share info on the roles, but I guess it would be scuppered by the competitive nature of going for the roles.

occasionally i wonder if we are making a fundamental mistake when we replace the old code with the new. perhaps data versions should be first class concepts in our domains.

if you aren't stopping-the-world during upgrade, you need to ensure the old code and the new code both execute happily against the new schema. its even worse if you want to be able to rollback.

It's only 'easier to spin up just the services you need' if you assume there is a cost to spinning up everything.

A useful term here is 'unit of deployment' I.e. a chunk of software that can be upgraded and redeployed on its own (implying versioned communication with other units and data storage).

Cloud storage was just used so I didn't have to manage backups myself. I absolutely didn't separate command and query - the commands themselves are actions which execute against the domain model, and that domain is used to build r

I built an CRM/CMS application where every single controller action call is event sourced. The whole application lives in memory as a single object aggregate, which gets rebuilt on startup. I started off with writing json to the file s

What happens if you download new javascript code and use that to control your app?

I would like something like this for things placed anywhere on a screen. The use case is hitting the alt key and displaying labels with the keyboard shortcuts for buttons.

TDD will leave you with a load of tests which prevent you from changing the code. BDD on the other hand should leave you with a suite that isn't coupled to a specific implementation. Part of the information contained in a test is the i

There's only one rule: 1. Don't write fast running behavioural tests that verify the software is working as required. With fast running tests I can maintain any old crap. Well, technically speaking I can rewrite it, but no-one wil

I'm not. Why would I subscribe to MSDN? I used to have a paid for VS Pro, now I use Community.

BDD got it right. Write your tests to prove the features are working, not to prove that the code written to implement the features does what it does.
