Rightsizing Platform Engineering: Building the Platform Your Organization Actually Needs
Shift-left and DevOps have impacted how we flow changes from inception to production, but at the cost of increased cognitive load and duplication of effort across testing, security, and maintenance. This article explores the real-world challenges of rightsizing developer platforms and finding a cultural match for engineering teams who use them to reduce cognitive load and deliver change faster.

The Hard-Stop Rule: from 3 HCM Monoliths to 120 Domain Microservices
A payroll and HR software team rebuilt three monoliths into over 120 smaller services over five years, with no dedicated migration budget. Every new feature was built as its own service instead of changing the old ones. The article covers the pull-based migration, the tools that made this possible, how costs were kept down, and the problems the team ran into along the way.

An Evolutionary Architecture Pattern for Managing AI’s Pace of Change
Traditional API gateways assume deterministic services and simple schemas - assumptions agentic AI breaks. Discover why enterprise engineering leaders are adopting AI Gateways as an evolutionary architecture seam. Centralize guardrails, model routing, agent identity, action policy, and semantic audit within a single control plane to prevent costly incidents while keeping core platforms stable.

Removing a Hidden Round Trip from a Multi-Region AWS API
When a series of regional outages forced a rethink of a multi-region AWS API, the team discovered that an obstacle to global failover was hiding in plain sight: a pre-flight discovery call baked into every client session years earlier as the only available option. This article describes what it took to remove it, and what the rollout actually cost.

Trade-Offs in Multi-Region Architectures: Latency vs. Cost
Adding cloud regions changes latency and cost in ways simple math can't capture. This article presents a framework from multiple launches: decompose your latency budget before committing to infrastructure, choose deployment patterns by consistency and traffic profile, and optimize before expanding. A phased approach cut latency 35% through routing alone, before a new region brought it under 60ms.

Designing Continuous Authorization for Sensitive Cloud Systems
Most cloud systems make one authorization decision at login. Everything after runs on trust established at authentication time. For systems handling regulated data, that gap is where breaches happen. This article presents a continuous authorization architecture covering risk-tiered evaluation, behavioral baselines, privacy-preserving audit trails, and a phased and incremental rollout.

The Technology Adoption Curve, Twenty Years On
Today, June 8th, InfoQ celebrates 20 years. This is not a comprehensive history, but a deliberately selective look at the technologies and practices InfoQ identified early, where they sit on the adoption curve in 2026, and how that curve may evolve over the next five to ten years.

Two Misconfigurations That Caused Spark OOM Failures on Kubernetes
After migrating Spark pipelines to Azure Kubernetes Service, two infrastructure settings interacted destructively: spark.kubernetes.local.dirs.tmpfs=true backed shuffle spill with RAM instead of disk, and a hard podAffinity rule forced all executors onto one node. Together, they caused repeated OOM kills invisible to standard diagnostics.

Stragglers, Not Failures: How Adaptive Hedged Requests Reduce p99 Latency by 74 Percent
In fan-out microservice architectures, slow-but-completing requests accumulate across services and drive p99 latency far higher than per-service metrics suggest. This article presents an adaptive hedging mechanism that uses DDSketch for real-time quantile estimation, windowed rotation to handle distribution drift, and a token-bucket budget to prevent load amplification.
