@Abdessamad_Zak Nothing wrong with handling comms via HTTP calls to another API; it keeps things simple & it's how many serverless microservice architectures work. The tradeoff is that it can be a bit slower & has more overhead per msg/req. than async messaging over a broker like Redis or Kafka.

@bjohnson_io Can laravel communicate to NestJs through HTTP (Making API requests)instead of using Redis as microservice transport? Or it's a bad idea?

@tsriram @GergelyOrosz The BIZBOK & the Business Architecture Guild offer good advice in this area. The book by @daniellambert07 is also a gem: amazon.com/Practical-Guid…

@GergelyOrosz Any chance you have an example of how such a document looks like?

The worst product and engineering directors/executives I’ve worked with or observed shared this one thing: They refused to write their strategy and goals down and share it. Instead, they kept changing it on the go. Not writing down was a strategy to avoid accountability.

Btw if you ❤️ TypeScript too, and have a strong @nestframework background (+Node.js ecosystem) 📥 DM me! We are #hiring Senior devs & Architects at @trilon_io! We're a fully distributed + *remote* company, but candidates must be within US + European timezones (at this moment).

@LucidChart / @Lucidchart_Help Is there any way to build CMMN diagrams w/ LucidChart? I use it regularly for BPMN & I'm hoping I can also find a way to use CMMN. Perhaps a shape library I could import? Any ideas/help would be appreciated!

Here's part 3 of my tutorial on getting started with #Azure Static Web Apps. In this post, I walkthrough the steps of adding a #serverless CosmosDB to the #GraphQL API (also serverless!). Enjoy. 🙂🍻 @bjohnson.io/add-cosmosdb-to-your-serverless-graphql-api-d4a16fd8915" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@bjohnson.io/a…

Interesting conversation... 🤔 youtu.be/juzWdkXJKUc

Interested in #serverless #GraphQL on #Azure? Check out the second installment of my tutorial on deploying an example @vuejs app on @AzureStaticApps. 🍻 @bjohnson.io/add-a-serverless-graphql-api-to-your-azure-static-web-app-ed8c085044e8" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@bjohnson.io/a…

If anyone wants to learn how to deploy JAM Stack style @AzureStaticApps + (optional) serverless #GraphQL & #CosmosDB on #Azure, please let me know. I'm 80% finished with a blog series & would like to incorporate feedback soon, before recording the YT series. RT appreciated! ♥️

There have been countless speculative comparisons of existing EA frameworks that presented various fictional stories. Now, here is my evidence-based comparison that offers a realistic picture: bcs.org/content-hub/a-… #EnterpriseArchitecture #EntArch #Zachman #FEAF #DoDAF #TOGAF

My analysis reveals a number of factors and mechanisms that contribute to the formation of vicious and virtuous circles in an EA practice, as well as some suggestions for swerving out of the dangerous vicious circle: bcs.org/content-hub/vi… #EnterpriseArchitecture #EntArch

@Kotusev Flattery aside, you're really onto something @Kotusev. So many EAs lapse into mindlessly "going through the motions" without actually stepping back & asking "Is this working for us?" This book needs to go viral. Immediately. 📈

@bjohnson_io Thank you for your high appreciation of my work!

I’m happy to announce the publication of the second edition of my book “The Practice of Enterprise Architecture: A Modern Approach to Business and IT Alignment” based on my ongoing research of EA practices: amazon.com/dp/064508252X #EnterpriseArchitecture #EntArch #TOGAF #CSVLOD

@Kotusev A fair request! I submitted the book review a few minutes ago. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

@bjohnson_io Amazon reviews would be appreciated :-)

@ImMrDubious Lol... I was in Ohio for 5 years before moving to Tampa. I can confirm the validity of this tweet. 😅

When you're thinking life is bad, just remember: some people move from Florida, to Ohio, on purpose.

@lucymcaldwell LOL... yes, I was forced to square dance for a passing grade. I grew up in a rural+agricultural region in south Georgia so I guess it wasn't *too* out of place. But it didn't make it any less humiliating. 😂

Casually asked my husband this morning if he remembers learning square-dancing in school, and he looked at me as if I’m insane. So I guess it was a regional thing? Were you forced to “do-si-do your partner (and your corner, too)”growing up? If so, where are you from?

@ImMrDubious That's a great domain name. 🤣🤣

A lot of people out there have had their businesses fucked by the pandemic this year. Some friends and I have started a new podcast dedicated to unfucking those businesses. Check it out: unfuckmybusiness.com/episode/how-we…

I was at Amzn in 2000 when the internet bubble popped. Capital markets dried up & we were burning $1B/yr. Our biggest expense was datacenter -> expensive Sun servers. We spent a year ripping out Sun & replacing with HP/Linux, which formed the foundation for AWS. The backstory:
