Patterns of Distributed Systems

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 7d is days, 4yr is years.

Martin Fowler loved it
As the pattern collection took shape, he contacted Pearson to turn this into a book, which I am proud to add to my signature series. The final book contains thirty patterns, each illustrated with explanatory text, many with sequence diagrams to explain the complex interactions, and all with code samples that clarify the all-important details.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
