Spaghetti business is difficult enough to swallow without serving a plate of spaghetti architecture and another of spaghetti code. Consider some really hard problems with data and learn how to tackle them with a minimum of technical complexity. Vaughn demonstrates complex business scenarios with solutions using Reactive, DDD, events, and streaming, in a microservices-based distributed system, but with the edges whittled smooth. Join Vaughn as complexity is blown away like wood shavings in a fall wind.

Our industry is strangely fascinated with the new and mysterious, often more so it seems than with delivering business value. Users don’t care about distributed computing, microservices, FaaS, Reactive, CQRS, streaming, or even features. What users care about are outcomes, and checking the technology boxes doesn't deliver outcomes to users. Even simpleton CRUD applications have become overly complicated white elephants bestowed on unsuspecting businesses.

So what happens when the business problem space is complex? Spaghetti business is difficult enough without adding an overdose of architecture and code complexity. It's time for change. Consider some really hard problems with data that we present in government, medical, and financial domains, and learn how to tackle them with a minimum of technical complexity. Events become events become events...
