EDA Lessons Learned

I put together a presentation at work on some lessons my team learned on EDA/ESB related topics a few months ago. I have made a couple friends recently via my blog. They have expressed an interest in this information. While I can't ship off the original presentation because:

1. it would bore them to tears
2. it contains proprietary information

the guts of it can be shared as they are standard architecture issues that anyone dealing with EDA/ESB will likely encounter. I'm curios what other people have experienced. Hopefully I'll learn something from sharing :) This list is by no means exhaustive, I might add to it as I think of other topics.

So I'll be blogging on these topics the next few weeks. I'll update this post with links as I complete the topics (no particular order).

Here are some of the topics I'll cover:

1. Persistence
2. Service Contracts & Event Stream Design
3. Choose Topics over Queues
4. Canonical Message Format
5. Scaffolding
6. Transactions
7. Performance
8. Build/SCM
9. XML Aware Analysts
10. Batch vs EDA
11. Content Based Routing
12. EDA and Object Oriented Design
13. Shared Code
14. Logging
15. Config Files
16. Error Queue Administration
17. Event History
18. Aggregation
