Moving Kafka and Debezium to Kubernetes Using Strimzi - the GitOps Way
Deploying an Apache Kafka cluster to a Kubernetes is not an easy task. There are a lot of pieces to configure like the zookeeper, the Kafka cluster, topics, and users. Strimzi is a Kubernetes controller making the deployment process of Kafka a child game. Moreover, Strimzi lets you manage Kafka using GitOps methodology as everything is executed using a Kubernetes YAML file.

DevOps at Schneider: a Meaningful Journey of Engaging People into Change
Adopting DevOps at Schneider started with building a case for change. Tech people were engaged into change by organizing learning and collaboration sessions and getting feedback from the front lines. Change is hard and without leadership support, dedicated time for developers to really digest it and continual reinforcement and conversation, it will be challenging to be successful.

Virtual Threads: New Foundations for High-Scale Java Applications
Virtual threads are a lightweight implementation of Java threads, delivered as a preview feature in Java 19. They dramatically reduce the effort of writing, maintaining, and observing high-throughput concurrent applications. Virtual threads breathe new life into the familiar thread-per-request style of programming, allowing it to scale with near-optimal hardware utilization.

Building Workflows with AWS Step Functions
AWS Step Functions use a state machine to represent the workflow. A workflow consists of a set of tasks, each of which represents a discrete activity to be performed. Each task is defined by a state of the state machine. In this article, we will learn about the main concepts of AWS Step Functions and apply those to build a workflow for a sample business process: Order Fulfillment.

Employing Team-Based Agile Coaching to Establish SRE in an Organization
Establishing SRE in a software delivery organization typically requires a socio-technical transformation. Operations teams need to learn how to provide a scalable SRE infrastructure to enable development teams to run their services efficiently. This paper presents how agile coaching has been employed to run an SRE transformation in a 25-teams strong product delivery organization.

Cloud Native Network Functions Are Here
Compute elasticity, for instance, is reasonably allocated with virtual machines, containers, and orchestrators and managed with CI/CD pipelines. Network elasticity seems to be lacking in implementation. In this article, we show that cloud native network functions are an attempt to bring network applications into the cloud native world.

Debezium and Quarkus: Change Data Capture Patterns to Avoid Dual-Writes Problems
It’s common in microservices to write data in two places, a database and then send the content to another microservice. One approach to tackle this problem is dual writes, but you may lose data because of concurrent writes. Debezium is an open-source project for change data capture using the log scanner approach to avoid dual writes and communicate persisted data correctly between services.
