Breakdown and highlights from Eric Brewer's "CAP Twelve Years Later: How the Rules Have Changed"
Programming
Publish events, not logs
Don't think about logs for observability. Think about system boundaries and events.

Layering domains and microservices using API Gateways
We can apply systems thinking and API gateways to rein in the "domain sprawl" in large scale microservice architectures
For the layman
For the Layman (Ep. 1) - What is a Distributed System?
Hello Folks! I am starting a new series of articles called “For the Layman” to cover some frequently encountered software engineering concepts to non-developers or beginners. The articles with try to explain these concepts in simple terms with as little jargon as I can manage. In this first episode
