Jeremy D. Miller strongly recommends that Event Sourcing developers model domain logic with the Decider pattern instead of the older AggregateRoot pattern. He explains why pure decide functions in Marten and Wolverine handlers are easier to reason about, test and debug. The post is a useful reference for anyone choosing a design for event-sourced .NET systems.
Critter Stack's new Bobcat 1.0 turns ordinary C# tests into readable executable specifications. The author starts from an existing xUnit test, adds step helpers, then covers decision tables and set verification for collections. It is a practical walkthrough for .NET teams who want reviewable tests without a Gherkin layer.
JasperFx has released Bobcat 1.0, an MIT-licensed tool that projects human-readable specifications from the test frameworks you already use, including xUnit.net, TUnit, MSTest and NUnit. No Gherkin or wiki files are needed, only C# or F#. It also brings Supervisor for more reliable integration suites and telemetry output aimed at AI agents debugging failing tests.
Jeremy D. Miller explains how to read your own writes in event-sourced systems that use async projections in Marten. Switching from FetchLatest to ProjectLatest removes an extra database round trip by reusing pending events in the session. Wolverine's UpdatedAggregate type then lets HTTP endpoints and message handlers return the current aggregate with less code.
Jeremy D. Miller shows how Marten stores a class hierarchy in one PostgreSQL table and queries it with LINQ, without the table-per-type or table-per-concrete-type decisions EF Core requires. He also covers subtype-specific partial indexes and duplicated fields. For teams weighing document storage against EF Core inheritance mapping, it is a useful comparison.
