Adoption of Cloud Native Architecture, Part 2: Stabilization Gaps and Anti-Patterns

In this second part of cloud native adoption article series, the authors discuss the anti-patterns to watch out for when using microservices architecture in your applications. They also discuss how to balance between architecture and technology stability by not reinventing the wheel in every new application and at the same time, avoiding arbitrary reuse of technologies.

Building .NET Applications for AWS

AWS provides a large set of online services. To use those services effectively, AWS offers .NET developers a complete SDK for building apps, and a set of toolkits for popular IDEs.

The Past, Present, and Future of API Gateways

The edge has evolved from simple hardware load balancers to a full stack of hardware and software proxies that comprise API Gateways, content delivery networks, and load balancers. In this article, we’ll trace the evolution of the data center edge as application architecture and workflows have evolved.

Article Series: Edge Cloud

Edge Computing and Flow Evolution

Edge computing echoes science from the field of complex adaptive systems that explains scaling patterns. Understand this science to make better decisions about what to run "on the edge."

The Modern Edge

This article shares stories of how interesting companies are using edge computing in ways you might not expect to solve real problems and help build a better Internet.

Deploying Edge Cloud Solutions without Sacrificing Security

Security challenges exist with edge cloud solutions. Some are technical, and some relate to the way in which these services are used. This article looks at the why, what, and how of edge security.

Is Edge Computing a Thing?

Edge Computing is definitely a thing, but the computing need not occur at the edge. Instead what is needed is an ability to compute (anywhere) on streaming data from large numbers of dynamically changing devices, in the edge environment. This in turn demands an architectural pattern for stateful, distributed computing.

Graph Knowledge Base for Stateful Cloud-Native Applications

The lack of support for stateful cloud-native application behavior is a roadblock to many cloud use-cases. This article looks at graph knowledge-based systems which offer one approach to the design of next-generation platforms.

Getting Started with Quarkus

Quarkus created quite a buzz in the enterprise Java ecosystem in 2019. What exactly is Quarkus? How is it different from other technologies established in the market? How can Quarkus help me or my organization? To better explain the motivation behind the Quarkus project, we need to look into the current state of software development.

Has an AI Cyber Attack Happened Yet?

AI cyber attacks have happened and are happening, with increasing regularity. This article looks at recent attacks, the role of bots, and defense strategies you can employ.

Privacy Architecture for Data-Driven Innovation

This article lays out how you build an internal data governance architecture early in the ingestion phase, which enables you to allocate risk to data and identify such data in your systems. You can then protect the data accordingly. The second half of this article lays out various techniques to share data in a privacy-conscious manner.
