Fractional engineering leader and software architect. 20+ years in distributed systems & messaging. Helping organizations build scalable, resilient systems and highly effective engineering teams.
It's wrap (for me, anyway) for the @wearedevelopers.bsky.social European Congress this year. The congress is not like other conferences I go to. It's bigger, noisier. Great crowd (massive amount of people, > 10000 or so), young, international, energetic.
I‘ll be at the WeAreDevelopers World Congress in Berlin next week. Happy to discuss building and evolving engineering organizations, strategic technology leadership, or event-driven architecture. If you’re also there and want to meet up, DM me. #eda #eventdrivenarchitecture #ddd #teamtopologies
Some seats are still available for my workshop 👨🏫 on Event-Driven Architecture at the WeAreDevelopers world congress in Berlin on July 8. I try to make it fun & interesting, so please tell your friends. 👉 www.wearedevelopers.com/world-congre... #eda #eventdrivenarchitecture #softwarearchitecture
Farewell Antwerp. Had amazing three days. Surrounded by so many brilliant minds, it felt almost surreal. Thanks @dddeu.bsky.social for a great conference! #DDDEU
10th edition of @dddeu.bsky.social being kicked off by Eric Evans. #DDDEU
On DDD Europe I'm going to speak about EDA Patterns and Antipatterns. Come and see if you recognize patterns from your code base. If you don't have a ticket yet, use this link for a discount: ti.to/on3/aardling... #eda #eventdrivenarchitecture #softwarearchitecture #conference #dddeurope
Enjoying @gunnarmorling.dev talking about the Transactional Outbox pattern at @jug-hamburg.bsky.social .
I had a packed room with a great, curious audience today. Really good vibes, thanks to everyone who attended. And thanks to @bobkonf.bsky.social of course for inviting me to speak! #bobkonf
Java Magazin 4.2026: Part 1 of my four-part EDA series is out. Written companion to my workshop, which I'm delivering again in Munich next week. Read it (German): entwickler.de/software-arc... #eda #eventdrivenarchitecture #softwarearchitecture
Tomorrow is the last day of this year's OOP conference. Enjoying it very much so far. Many conversations around AI of course, but grounded and thoughtful ones, beyond the hype. And many familiar faces. If you're here, join me tomorrow at 10am 👉 www.oop-konferenz.de/de/programm/... #oop
🎉 500 ⭐️ on Awesome Event-Driven Architecture! Thanks to everyone who starred, shared or contributed. It’s great to see the EDA community exchanging real-world lessons. If you’re interested in EDA, have a look: ➡️ github.com/lutzh/awesom... #softwarearchitecture #eventdrivenarchitecture #eda
Excited to speak at OOP 2026 in Munich next February with a new talk on event-driven architecture patterns and anti-patterns. Use the code ”OOP2026-Huehnken” for 20% off your ticket. More info: www.oop-konferenz.de/en #OOP2026 #EDA #SoftwareArchitecture

Maybe this helps: Meta AI recommends Signal 😀. (Source: mastodon.social/@aboutsignal...)
Next up: Ronna Steinberg. Just 2 minutes in, my favorite quote of the conference, for sure: „It‘s not schön if it‘s not fun.“ She made it rhyme somehow.
I love local conferences, looking forward to meeting many people in the awesome Hammerbrooklyn in Hamburg at bit summit. #conference #hamburg #bitsummit
My KanDDDinsky talk this year: less fundamental than my usual talks. More: what works well, and what doesn’t. Patterns, lessons, and maybe a few true stories. The line-up is amazing, and I’m humbled to be part of it. Hope to see you there! 👉 kandddinsky.de #ddd #EDA #conference #Berlin #kandddinsky
Coding with AI feels like teaching. You still need to learn before you can teach. Deep understanding of the domain and software quality still matters. But not everyone who enjoys coding will enjoy instructing a machine. It’s a different kind of creativity. #AIProgramming #CodingWithAI #DevThoughts
Always wanted this to be interactive so I could solve the cube in 2D. Everyone’s using AI code assistants now, so I had Claude build a first version. It’s rough - no tests yet - but already fun to play with (for me, anyway): www.huehnken.de/games/circle... #AIgenerated #LLM #puzzlegame #claude
If you spent two full days on uncomfortable chairs and still enjoyed it, it must be @amaconf.bsky.social 😀. Many very pleasant encounters, the conference has a great community spirit about it. Thanks for having me! #conference #ama2025 #softwarearchitecture
The last conference of this Winter/Spring for me, ending the Spring conference season with a highlight: Stoked to be speaking at @amaconf.bsky.social later today. Currently enjoying the keynote by Simon Wardley. #conference #ama2025 #softwarearchitecture
I said I expected to be inspired, and Fast Flow Conf did not disappoint. Great talks all around, kudos to the speakers. And the closing keynote hitting a point for me as well, moving beyond "enabling team" for architecture. Great day. Also fantastic venue and organization! #ffc25 #fastflowconf
Fast Flow Conf starting strong with a keynote from Manuel Pais and Therese Engen. Makes me excited for the rest of the day. Expecting to be inspired. #ffc25 #fastflowconf
In "Foundations of Scalable Systems", Ian Gorton writes, among other things, about relational databases and how it's not uncommon to apply denormalization. Or well, he meant to, but on page 196 they printed something else.. which I'm sorry to hear 😀 #softwarearchitecture #bookclub #mademechuckle
If you'd like to attend FastFlowConf on March 27th in 🇳🇱 and haven't bought a ticket yet: This link will get you a 20% discount. See you there! ti.to/ffcnl/fast-f... #teamtopologies #softwarearchitecture #conference
Thrilled that my little list of awesome event-driven architecture resources - github.com/lutzh/awesom... - is now in the awesome list of awesome lists - github.com/sindresorhus... Thanks @sindresorhus.bsky.social for including it! #eda #eventdrivenarchitecture #softwarearchitecture #awesome
Next year I'll host a night school session at the OOP in Munich, Germany: www.oop-konferenz.de/de/programm/... 90 minutes dedicated to event-driven architecture. If you want to join, get a 15% discount with the code "OOP25_Hühnken" #conference #eventdrivenarchitecture #eda #softwarearchitecture
With articles from so many friends and respected colleagues, e.g. @ewolff.com, @sippsack.bsky.social, @hschwentner.bsky.social, Gernot Starke, Stefan Toth and others, I just had to add this to my tsundoku stack. Haven't read it yet, but with all of them in it, it's still my #fridayrecommendation .
