Have you ever needed to extract a ".rar" file on a MacBook? I have to confess that I was extremely stressed when a friend sent me some compressed files one day and I couldn't find a simple way to open them. I researched several lengthy tutorials and finally ended up sending the file to a Windows virtual machine where I quickly solved the issue. But what if I had needed to open them on my MacBook?

Big data promises a huge revolution in the way we do business, but let's be honest: how much real value do our data strategies usually deliver?

Last week, we discussed the core concepts of event-driven architecture (EDA). Today, I will present a concrete way to help you understand those concepts. As programmers or architects, usually the best way to learn is to code. So let's get started!

Have you ever developed an event-driven application or heard about this architectural approach? You might be surprised to learn that you may be using it even if you've never heard of it! This post series will explain what EDA architecture is, why it was created, what its components are, and how it is used in the Java ecosystem. In part one, you'll learn the core concepts of EDA. In part two, you'll walk through the implementation of a simple EDA project in Java. 

Today, we'll briefly introduce the basic concepts of Domain-Driven Design and Onion Architecture and highlight some advantages of bringing these two approaches together.
