Backend infra tech lead at Wix, Blogger. I advocate event driven design. Passionate about functional programming.
@jbaru.ch also mentioned a promising startup called @tessl.io in this field of conformance tests, but seems like they use LLMs for writing these tests, so I'm not sure how reliable it would be...

@jbaru.ch talks about the big issue with quality and correctness of code written by AI,
and suggests to fix by writing tests but not by LLMs, but with #Cucumber. Do you agree?

Software design documents:
* write once
* read maybe once

@warski.org thinks some pinning issues with Java virtual threads will never be solved.

Have you noticed any noticable impact on your production deployment? how do you solve blocked operations?

Looking forward to @jbaru.ch and @gamussa.dev deep dive on vibe coding in IDEs in a 45 minutes @devoxxpl.bsky.social .

I expect nothing less than immensely entertaining and insightful talk.

Had a fantastic time presenting at DevoxxPL! 🚀

Shared 4 Kafka async patterns powering @wixeng.bsky.social distributed systems:

Public Integration Events, Durable Task Queue, Reliable Task Scheduler, & Long-running Job Iterator.

Thanks for your great questions & ideas!

Teaser slide for my upcoming @devoxxpl.bsky.social talk this Thursday about the benefits and challenges of Async Patterns.

Patterns like Public/Integration events, Task Queue, Task Scheduler and Task Iterator are common-place in @wixeng.bsky.social distributed 4,000 microservices system

Akka is suggestion Event Sourcing as the collaboration pattern for agentic systems? WDYT? Any other pattern you prefer instead?

Loved presenting at #EventCentric on
@wixeng.bsky.social event-driven, domain-driven design: single-aggregate microservices with only public integration events. Boosts dev speed but posed ops challenges we solved.
