2024 was a good year for JasperFx Software LLC for the simple fact that we’ve proven to have an effective business model and some staying power for the future. Along the way, we partnered with clients in eight different countries on two continents deal with a variety of technical challenges through both formal support contracts and consulting contracts.

Besides the obvious focus on our client’s usage of the “Critter Stack” (Marten, Wolverine, and some smaller tools like Alba), we’ve frequently assisted with:

• Multi-tenancy strategies, which has run the gamut from multiple databases, multiple message brokers, integration within applications, to simply finding ways to reduce downtime necessary to add new tenants
• Scaling and performance, especially with event sourcing
• Concurrency issues of all kinds
• Creating effective test automation strategies, both in terms of how to create testable code for efficient unit testing and helping bootstrap integration testing approaches
• Dealing with technical debt and formulating plans for application modernization

Underpinning all of that is assisting with any number of issues that arise from our client’s usage of Event Sourcing or Event Driven Architecture approaches as those are still relatively new to our industry and many developers are not yet experienced with these approaches.

If you have any concerns about your server side .NET architecture or systems, need help with your usage of Event Sourcing, Event Driven Architecture, or Test Driven Development and other Test Automation strategies, JasperFx Software is ready to help. And of course, we’re the home of the “Critter Stack” tools that provide the strongest and most feature rich support for Event Sourcing in the .NET ecosystem and JasperFx Software provides formal, ongoing support plans for the daily usage of these tools.

Critter Stack in 2025

2024 was a huge year for both Marten and Wolverine development and adoption. We're hoping that 2025 will be a time to solidify our technical offerings and to introduce the "Critter Watch" management console and production monitoring application that will be tailored for the "Critter Stack" tools. For Wolverine specifically, we're working hard in the early part of 2025 to improve Wolverine's usage within "modular monolith" architectures and to further improve Wolverine's already strong usability for "Vertical Slice Architecture" approaches.

Longer term, we hope to expand the "Critter Stack" tools to more database engines and possibly to additional messaging broker technologies in the 2025 calendar year.
