About me

Tue, 11 Nov 2025 20:00:00 +0100

Hey there! I’m Kim Eik — husband, dad of three, part-time farmer, full-time nerd.

When I’m not fixing something on the farm, I’m probably breaking something on my computer… usually on purpose. Or the other way around — though in that case, definitely not on purpose.

I work as an IT consultant, which means I spend my days helping systems behave, and my nights trying to make new ones misbehave (for science, of course). Lately, I’ve been deep into Go — the language, not the board game — and the whole ecosystem around it. I love building things that are simple, fast, and clean, even if it means writing way too much automation for something I could’ve done manually in ten minutes.

A simple Todo application, a comparison on Traditional vs CQRS + ES architecture

For as long as I can remember, the standard approach to web development has been a monolithic one. A database at the bottom, some business logic in the middle and maybe an API interface for communicating against a SPA client.

For most applications these object oriented CRUD solutions work just fine. However there are a couple of shortcomings in this traditional architecture, which I hope to shine some light upon with this post.
