- [Tempest + Ecotone: One Declarative Foundation](https://blog.ecotone.tech/tempest-ecotone-one-declarative-foundation.md) - Tempest and Ecotone share one foundation — declarative configuration. Installing ecotone installs an architecture layer: CQRS, event sourcing, workflows and resilient async, with the whole messaging layer in to your Tempest App.
- [Ecotone's support for Closures in Attributes](https://blog.ecotone.tech/ecotones-support-for-closures-in-attributes.md) - Replace expression strings and one-off middleware with typed closures in PHP attributes: dynamic delays, headers, and SQL parameters in one line, checked by PHPStan.
- [Evolve Live Projections Without Downtime](https://blog.ecotone.tech/evolve-live-projections-without-downtime.md) - Add columns, fix bugs, and replay events on live projections without downtime — using backfill, rebuild, and blue-green in Ecotone's ProjectionV2 for PHP.
- [Stop Subscribing to Domain Events](https://blog.ecotone.tech/stop-subscribing-to-domain-events.md) - The notification fires before the projection commits. The user sees a stale balance. Emitting derived events from inside the projection — as the read model — closes the race for good.
