Cell-Based Architecture Adoption Guidelines
The challenges in building modern, reliable, and understandable distributed systems continue to grow, and cell-based architecture is a valuable way to accept, isolate, and stay reliable in the face of failures. Organizations must ensure that the cell-based architecture is the right fit for them and that the migration will not cause more problems than it solves.

The Parity Problem: Ensuring Mobile Apps are Secure across Platforms
The problem of security parity is a big one, but it’s part of a larger problem: a general lack of security in mobile apps. By embracing automation for security implementation to the same or greater degree than it has been adopted for feature development, developers can ensure that every app they release for every platform will be protected from hackers, fraudsters, and cybercriminals.

How to Harden Applications against IIoT Security Threats
This article will explore two sides of the IIoT security equation: understanding how and why IIoT systems can become vulnerable to hacking attempts, and which solutions and strategies are available to harden them. It will provide also a set of best practices to address IoT security concerns.

Takeoff: What Software Development Can Learn from Aviation
A lot of professions have been around way longer than software development and have developed "best practices" to handle typical problems and challenges. Software developers can benefit from taking a closer look at aircraft maintenance or a pilot’s processes to learn from them, optimize our processes. and last but not least, try to reduce some of the stress that we experience over and over again.

Functional UI - a Stream-Based Equational Approach
User interface applications can be implemented with an explicit functional relation linking events received by the user interface to the actions to exert on the interfaced systems. Streams by abstracting over time may express that relation concisely. A stream-based implementation is one of the three Functional UI strategies for implementing reliable, well-architected user interface applications.

Functional UI (Framework-Free at Last)
Functional UI is a set of techniques which rely heavily on functional programming to develop user interface applications. While deceptively simple, functional UI techniques are surprisingly powerful. Functional UI directly reflects the application's specifications, allows developers to unit-test user scenarios, and UI frameworks become mere libraries. Framework-free at last!

Pascal Desmarets on NoSQL Data Modeling Best Practices
NoSQL databases are specialized to store different types of data like Key Value, Documents, Column Family, Time Series, Graph, and IoT data. Pascal Desmarets talks about how to perform data modeling in NoSQL databases compared to the modeling in Relational databases.

Virtual Panel: Microservices in Practice
Microservices have gone from development practices for the select few to something many developers in a range of organisations are embracing. Some believe that technologies that can assist with developing and adopting microservices are ineffective without associated changes within the organisations. We spoke with panelists to get different perspectives on the state of the art with microservices.
