I had the opportunity to deliver a presentation on Cloud-based Software Architectures during CloudFest in Denver. I talked about patterns, practices, and principles that are becoming popular thanks to the different components and features offered by cloud development platforms like Microsoft Windows Azure. Moreover, I have a few slides on how some of our ISVs – specifically EventDay and BrainCredits – are implementing these concepts, including CQRS. You can download the PowerPoint presentation by following this link. The content was prepared in conjunction with my friend and colleague Bruno Terkaly. Make sure to visit his blog as well!
