Wavelength Podcast Episode 121: An Examination of CQRS; Coinbase’s Institutional Play
Linedata's Dave Remy and Chris Condron discuss all things CQRS and James Rundle goes over some of the big news breaking in the crypto space.
This week, Dave Remy, the chief technology officer for Linedata’s asset management vertical, and Chris Condron, principal software architect for asset management, join the podcast to discuss developments in the CQRS-ES space. For those not in the know, CQRS is a data architecture pattern that stands for Command Query Responsibility Segregation, and ES is Event Sourcing. While that might not jump out as being the sexiest of topics, it’s actually a very interesting development in the tech world that is seeping into the capital markets. Dave and Chris discuss the benefits and challenges of the pattern and provide their insights as to how firms can start to experiment with it.
But before that, James gives an update on some big news coming out of the crypto space and then at the end, Anthony and James pick an easy target to make fun of—the MTA.
