Ask HN: How useful is "Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture" today?

How useful is Martin Fowler's 13-year-old "Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture" today?

Are there some newer content (web, books etc.) on the same subject you would recommend?

I found it to be very useful. Even though it is a few years old, the underlying concepts of each pattern remain the same and I find it much easier to maintain code when I know which pattern was implemented.

As for newer content, I would point you again to Martin Fowler and his piece on Microservices[0].
