42 - How to choose the 'Right' Datastore for your scenario
There are so many types of data stores out there these days. You have relational, non-relational, documents, blob, tables, files and more. There’s also a growing awareness of ‘Polyglot Persistence’ where you use different data stores depending on the task. But how do you know which is the ‘right’ one? Chris is joined once again by Steph Martin as we talk through some of these types of datastores, and the factors that may help you in your decision!

19 - The Event Sourcing, Materialized View and CQRS Patterns
The event sourcing pattern is a well-known pattern and has been around for some time. The idea is that you use an append-only store to record the full series of actions taken on the data. This combines well with the materialized view pattern, where a pre-populated view is generated over one (or more) data stores when the data isn't in an ideal format for querying. These two patterns are common patterns used in an event-driven architecture. Join Chris and Steph as they talk about both of these patterns and how they may be able to help. This is another episode in the series of Architecting for the Cloud, one pattern at a time.
38 - Hands-on with The Geode Pattern (Build globally distributed applications!)
We've previously covered the theory of the Geode pattern in episode 11. Now it's time to see it unfold live and in action! Tune in to see Will demonstrate the concept of the Geode pattern and how it adds value to a globally distributed application.
33 - External Config and Claim Check Pattern - Easier Management and Externalising Payloads
How often do you think about the configuration of your applications across environments/regions/deployment boundaries? What if that configuration was stored somewhere externally but centralised, to make management easier? That's the idea behind the external config pattern! How about another scenario - What about those times where you've wanted to use a messaging service, but your payload is too big? Thought about externalising that payload too? Well, that's the Claim-check pattern! Join Peter and Chris as they talk about both of these patterns in this episode of Cloud with Chris!
