WIP !!!
16. Fusion / AFX Spreads
17. https://github.com/neos/neos-development-collection/pull/2192 Fusion spreads • Populate many Fusion properties at once from a key-value map • Very useful when using https:// www.neos.io/blog/atomic- fusion.html
19. Without Spreads foo = Neos.Fusion:Collection { collection = ${props.teasers} itemName = "item" itemRenderer = Vendor.Site:Teaser { title = ${item.title} image = ${item.image} text = ${item.text} uri = ${item.uri} } }
20. With Spreads foo = Neos.Fusion:Collection { collection = ${props.teasers} itemName = "item" itemRenderer = Vendor.Site:Teaser { // Assuming "item" is a mapping component @properties.applyItem = ${item} } }
21. Passing through of props // or: foo = Neos.Fusion:Component { renderer = afx` <Vendor.Site:Component {...props} /> ` }

 Event-sourced Content Repository ◦ 1
33. What is CQRS / ES?
34. CQRS and ES primer • ES = Event Sourcing • Records all changes to an 
 application's state as persistent events.
35. CQRS and ES primer • CQRS = Command / Query 
 Responsibility Segregation • Splits the read and write sides 
 of an application’s data model.
36. Classical Layered Architecture Controller Model View Read Write
37. CQRS Read Write Command Handler Command Domain Logic / Aggregates Event Query Models Query Models Query Models Projection Query
38. Benefits of CQRS Well-suited for read/write 
 disparate systems
39. Benefits of CQRS Great fit for event-driven,
 unidirectional dataflow UI
 (React/Redux, anyone?)
40. Benefits of CQRS Avoids locking issues / overwritten changes
41. Benefits of CQRS Perfect audit log by design / unlimited versioning

43. PSR-7 ◦ 2
44. PSR-7 • A set of RFCs to implement common HTTP request and response interfaces • Also concerns Streams, URIs, and uploaded files
45. The road to PSR-7 • Starting with Flow 5.1, there was / will be some refactoring in the Flow core https://www.neos.io/blog/neos-is-on-the-road-to-psr-7-compatibility.html
46. The road to PSR-7 • You may have seen these: https://www.neos.io/blog/neos-is-on-the-road-to-psr-7-compatibility.html $this->request->getHttpRequest()->
 getArgument("foo"); $this->request->getHttpRequest()->
 setHeader("X-Bar", "baz");
47. The road to PSR-7 • Don't act on this yet! • There will be more refactoring • No breaking changes before Flow 6.0 (of course) https://www.neos.io/blog/neos-is-on-the-road-to-psr-7-compatibility.html
48. The road to PSR-7 • Biggest issue right now: Requests and Responses in PSR-7 are immutable • A lot of Flow needs to be changed to accomodate this https://www.neos.io/blog/neos-is-on-the-road-to-psr-7-compatibility.html
