Rejected Events and How They Rot

Convey's IRejectedEvent gives Pacco an application-level negative acknowledgement - a rejected twin for every command. Reading the four exception-to-message mappers shows the pattern decaying in four different ways, from a failed reserve announced as a failed release to rejection classes nothing ever constructs.

Correlation by Natural Key

Availability's ResourceReserved event carries no order id, no correlation id, no saga id - just a resource and a date. Orders finds the right order anyway, by treating (vehicleId, deliveryDate) as the correlation key, and the expropriation flow shows exactly when that key stops being unique.

A Checkout With No Conductor

Pacco's flagship flow reconstructed from source - a vehicle is assigned, a reservation lands, an order approves itself, and when a VIP bumps the booking the cancellation ripples through three services with no process manager in sight.

One Event, Five Contracts

Every transition of Pacco's Order raises the same domain event - OrderStateChanged - and a mapper switches on aggregate status to mint five distinct integration events. A content-based router keyed on state, weighed honestly.

The Reservation That Bumps You

Availability's Resource aggregate enforces one real business rule - a higher-priority reservation evicts yours and announces it. The invariant, the struct value object behind it, and the day-integer it becomes on disk.

The Order That Choreographs Itself

Nobody in Pacco approves an order - a vehicle reservation does. A tour of DevMentors' parcel-delivery estate, the domain it models, and the fifteen-part series it earns.

Three Ages of a Domain Model

Same framework, same four-project layout, three maturities - Parcels publishes from handlers, Orders raises events and maps them inline, Availability runs a full pipeline. The lineage made diffable.

Who Creates the Customer?

In DShop a customer is born in two steps - a record on sign-up, then a completed profile. Following both across the monolith and the swarm shows how a consistency model quietly rewrites a user flow.

Rich Domain, Honest Stubs

A retrospective on nine DShop services - the order aggregate and checkout saga that genuinely work, sitting next to the discount that only prints, the emails that never send, and a currency guard that guards nothing. Part 15 of Nine Services and a Message Bus.

Four Products, One Truth

A single product identity is represented four ways across four DShop services - owner, replica, cart snapshot, order snapshot - each on its own refresh discipline, and nothing masters the set. Part 12 of Nine Services and a Message Bus.

Copy the Contract or Share It

DShop answers the shared-kernel question twice - eight services copy every event contract locally, one references a shared package - and both answers are in the same estate with their real costs on show. Part 4 of Nine Services and a Message Bus.

A Control Plane Needs Its Own Domain Model

Tenants are data too. The tenant-management database is the one single-tenant database in the whole platform, and its five entities — Tenant, TenantConnection, TenantFeature, DatabaseGroup, TenantMigrationHistory — carry every decision the rest of the series depends on.
