With more and more open source projects switching to some sort of commercial licensing model with discounts for small business and community projects, the question keeps coming up: is a 100% discount the same as "free"?

So I made a video about it. What do you think?

Seriously folks - watch this - it is very good.

Evolving event driven systems is certainly non trivial and should be considered up-front. All the harder when you expose your events and have either an explicit or implicit contract to support the prior versions.

This talk is a must-watch for people in the Event-Driven space. I saw @noctovis.bsky.social giving it live at this year's DDDEU, and I truly believe that she nailed the versioning topic 👇🙂

@noctovis.bsky.social bringing the truth. No AI tool is claiming they are perfect, they are all filled with disclaimers. Which means YOU are still responsible for the auto tab completed, AI generated big ball of mud that hits production. It's still your responsibility.

Event-Driven systems come with challenges: How do we version our events? Can we only publish events in an Event-Driven Architecture? How do we test all of this? These are a few of the questions I discussed with @noctovis.bsky.social in our latest episode of Satisfying Software!

The org has spent around $50k of dev time to save on a $5k software license.

And that's not even counting the opportunity cost of the other things that could have been worked on.

The hidden costs of "how hard could it be".
