Event-Driven Architecture Patterns
Mental models for building event-driven systems. Understanding event sourcing, CQRS, eventual consistency, and when to use them in fintech contexts.
Frameworks and mental models for understanding complex financial systems. Pattern recognition across workflows, data flows, and integration architectures that help you see the bigger picture.
The System Thinking Library is about stepping back from implementation details to understand the patterns and principles that govern financial systems. These are the mental models and frameworks that help you make better architectural decisions, anticipate failure modes, and design systems that are robust and maintainable.
You'll find content on event-driven architectures, state machine patterns, data flow modeling, and the kind of systems thinking that helps you navigate complexity. The goal is to build your intuition for how these systems work at a fundamental level.
