Your AI isn't failing. Your data architecture is. Every failed AI initiative has the same autopsy, and it's almost never the model. The model was fine. The training data lived in six systems with three definitions of "customer." The RAG pipeline indexed stale documents because nobody owned freshness. The vector store that flew in the demo fell over at production scale. The compliance team found out after it shipped. Enterprises are spending fortunes on AI and discovering, one postmortem at a time, that AI is a data architecture problem wearing a machine-learning costume. This is the ...

Every enterprise is being told to go event-driven. Kafka is on every architecture diagram, “real-time” is in every executive deck — and a lot of what’s being built is expensive confusion.

CQRS bolted onto systems that needed a database index. This book is the corrective: the honest, comprehensive, design-level guide to event-driven architecture that actually works in production. From the author of Designing Solutions ...

Behind every generated answer, image, voice, video, or synthetic experience is an architecture that determines what the system can understand, how it processes information, and what it can produce. Generative AI models are often discussed as though they were one technology. In practice, foundation models, transformers, diffusion systems, and multimodal models rely on different structures, training objectives, information flows, and generation processes. Understanding these differences is essential for evaluating modern AI systems without treating them as mysterious black boxes. Generative ...
