UMA Blog
Writing on Universal Microservices Architecture, portable business logic, WebAssembly as an execution boundary, and distributed system coherence. Published on Medium.
Where the writing is published
Articles appear on two Medium channels: the primary UMA channel covers the architecture model, design decisions, and worked examples. The software architecture channel covers broader distributed systems thinking that informs UMA but is not specific to it.
What the writing covers
The articles follow the same progression as the book: starting with the problem (why distributed systems fragment as execution surfaces multiply), through the structural model (portable services, active descriptors, runtime governance), and into specific application areas (WebAssembly portability, AI-native runtime governance, MCP integration).
Research papers that predated the book are also available: CSMA (June 2023), UMA (August 2024), and ECCA (August 2025). These document the model's development from initial composable service concept through the full UMA specification to execution context coherence for AI-assisted paths.
