MassTransit: Ready to Form

Defeating the menace of distributed systems complexity is no simple task. It requires simultaneously solving the problems of consistency, reliability, and fault tolerance.

About Michael Perry

A bit about Michael

Software is math. Every class is a theorem. The compiler is the proof. And unit tests check our work.. Michael L Perry has built upon the works of mathematicians like Bertrand Meyer, James Rumbaugh, and Donald Knuth to develop a mathematical system for software development. He has captured this system in a set of open source projects.

Historical Modelling is a technique for system analysis and design based on immutable historical facts. I started thinking about this idea in 2001 while working on a distributed system. The gift card system had the unique ability to redeem value without making a network connection. The project struggled with all of the classic data management problems.
