Event-Driven Patterns for Cloud-Native Banking: Lessons from What Works and What Hurts
Event-driven architecture helps banks decouple systems, scale services, and create clear activity trails. But it also introduces complexity, new failure modes, and operational challenges. Chris Tacey-Green explains where it adds value in banking systems and the practical patterns, such as inbox/outbox and stable event contracts, needed to make it reliable.

Proactive Autoscaling for Edge Applications in Kubernetes
Kubernetes often reacts too late when traffic suddenly increases at the edge. A proactive scaling approach that considers response time, spare CPU capacity, and container startup delays can add or remove instances more smoothly, prevent sudden spikes, and keep performance stable on systems with limited resources.

The Set Piece Strategy: Tackling Complexity in Serverless Applications
In this article, senior engineering manager and AWS Serverless hero Sheen Brisals examines how the characteristics of serverless such as optimization, robust availability and scalability influence us to think in a new way of architecting and evolving modern applications as set pieces, a concept from moviemaking. The contents of this article were presented during QCon London 2024.

Comparative Analysis of Major Distributed File System Architectures: GFS vs. Tectonic vs. JuiceFS
As storage needs continue to grow, traditional disk file systems have revealed their limitations. To address the growing storage demands, distributed file systems have emerged as dynamic and scalable solutions. In this article, we explore the design principles, innovations, and challenges addressed by three representative distributed file systems: Google File System (GFS), Tectonic, and JuiceFS.

Debugging Production: eBPF Chaos
This article shares insights into learning eBPF as a new cloud-native technology which aims to improve Observability and Security workflows. You’ll learn how chaos engineering can help, and get an insight into eBPF based observability and security use cases. Breaking them in a professional way also inspires new ideas for chaos engineering itself.

What Are Cloud-Bound Applications?
The increasing adoption of application-first cloud services is causing applications to blend with the cloud services at levels much deeper than before. The runtime boundaries between the application and the cloud are shifting from virtual machines to containers and functions.

The Future of Service Mesh is Networking
On this journey, we will discover that, to quote David Mooter, “The future of service mesh is as a networking feature, not a product category, as far out of sight and mind from developers as possible—and that is a good thing.”

Colliding Communities, Cloud Native, and Telecommunications Standards
What happens when an ecosystem driven from the bottom up collides with a community characterized by top-down development? The 5g broadband cellular network standard by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the Network Function Virtualization (NFV) standard by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), and the Service Function Chain RFC (request for comments) are examples.
