Morten says: "Interesting how the struggle for singular performance clouds the overview of a flexible architecture that is resilient to change, versioning and implementation details.".

Shameless sales pitch: Little known, 18 month old book with an unfitting title about an interesting product that obviously doesn't really sell well. I am considering to go back to that material and do a rewrite which is going to be less (or not at all) product focused and instead centers around service-oriented architectures and document-driven designs. Chapters 1 & 2 can be read online at amazon.
