Most projection articles talk about the happy path.
But that is usually not where teams struggle.
They struggle:
- When a projection crashes on one bad event.
- When a read model bug blocks a valid business operation.
- When catch-up runs eat memory and lock tables for too long.
And when recovery means manual resets, replay scripts, and stress at 3 AM.
"Your Projection Will Fail" article is about those problems. I wrote it to show how resilient projections should actually work:
- How to isolate projection failures from the command side
- How to make projections self-heal after a fix
- How protects you from memory and transaction issues
So if you have ever dealt with projections that were fragile, blocking, or painful to recover, this is for you.
