In Part 1 of this series you saw how we can model a domain repository as an actor in Akka. It gives you declarative transaction semantics through Akka's STM and pluggable persistence engine support over a variety of data stores. As a result the domain model becomes cleaner. The repository that you design can take advantage of Akka's fault tolerance capabilities through supervisors that offer configurable lifecycle strategies.

People seem to be missing the really big picture of the value of social media and really the Internet for that matter. They look at how current social networking sites work and how online and offline relationships currently work and make the assumption that this represents the value proposition. Case in point the recent HBR blog post: The Social Media Bubble , by Umair Haque where he advances the following hypothesis: Despite all the excitement surrounding social media, the Internet isn't connec

While data platforms, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and programming platforms have evolved to leverage big data and streaming data, the front-end user experience has not kept up. Holding onto old BI technology while everything else moves forward is holding back organizations. Traditional Business Intelligence (BI) aren’t built for modern data platforms and don’t work on modern architectures.

Followers of this blog must have known by now that I am a big fan of a clean domain model. And domain driven design, espoused by Eric Evans is the way to go when you are modeling a complex domain and would like to have your model survive for quite some time in the future. Recently I have been experimenting a bit with domain driven design using some amount of asynchronous message passing techniques particularly in the services and the storage layer.

Many organizations today are unlocking the power of their data by using graph databases to feed downstream analytics, enahance visualizations, and more. Yet, when different graph nodes represent the same entity, graphs get messy. Watch this essential video with Senzing CEO Jeff Jonas on how adding entity resolution to a graph database condenses network graphs to improve analytics and save your analysts time.

This question came up last week. I am hearing from my project management team a bit of distrust in the technical capacity of our web development team. I think we suffer because of the distance and culture but the project management team takes every late delivery or small bug as evidence that the development team may not be capable. My quick response was that this was likely some combination of: Weak development team Poor communication, especially around requirements and expectation setting Past

For me, that’s a big proposition and a bold statement, so I would never even pretend to be the one to tell you how to even think about starting to get a handle on what it takes to get an inkling of how to even conceptualize the possibility of getting even a loose handle on your workday–let alone MASTERing it. Fortunately, there is someone that can help and he’s been kind enough to put his wisdom in a new book called, appropriately, Master Your Workday Now.

It is unclear what the penalty will be for firms who continue their misleading practices. For those curious, WhiteHat Security was once an ASV, but has not been for over a year -- largely because we already understood the following requirements.

As always, the conference was a high-paced mix of conference sessions, technology debates, and meetings with customers and partners. I’m always interested in what themes get the most play at RSA. This year, I’d have to say that “the cloud” wins the contest hands-down.

Tim Berry has a great post on Why I Hate Those Huge Market Numbers tells us that he doesn’t like to see business plans with multi-billion market numbers used as the basis for projections. It’s the old – 5% of massive market gives us a big number. I agree completely: If it makes you feel better to give me that number in passing, okay, go ahead, but don’t put any emphasis on it.

Multi-tenant architecture allows software vendors to realize tremendous efficiencies by maintaining a single application stack instead of separate database instances while meeting data privacy needs. When you use a data warehouse to power your multi-tenant analytics, the proper approach is vital. Multi-tenant analytics is NOT the primary use case with traditional data warehouses, causing data security challenges.

Steve Blank wrote a great post recently entitled Perfection By Subtraction – The Minimum Feature Set where he explains the real goals around defining a minimum viable product: Founders act like the “minimum” part is the goal. Or worse, that every potential customer should want it. In the real world not every customer is going to get overly excited about your minimum feature set.

Buyers of forces, be they military or IT, have long been advised against employing mercenaries. Strangely enough, nobody has paid this counsel much mind. The buy side still buys mercenaries, more than ever. Just have a look at your own sales lead list.
