Piercing the Fog: Observability Tools from the Future
Visibility into those distributed systems and how they are performing is challenging. Despite all the observability tools available for site reliability, debugging remains incredibly difficult, and many SREs would agree that their debugging processes have only marginally improved. This article explores how observability for troubleshooting could be done from the user’s point of view.

Enhanced Streams Processing with Kotlin’s Sequence Interface
Data structures are an intrinsic part of every programming language, yet Java’s Stream interface lacks vital operations and its complex approach to extensibility gave rise to alternative libraries such as jOOλ and Guava. This article provides an alternative approach that can be easily integrated in any Java project using Kotlin's Sequence interface.

Performance Analysis for Arm vs x86 CPUs in the Cloud
In this article, the author uses AWS’s Arm (Graviton2) and x86_64 (Intel) EC2 instances to evaluate computational performance across different software runtimes, including Docker, Node.js, and WebAssembly. Our conclusion is that Arm is more cost effective in the cloud, especially with lightweight runtimes that are close to the underlying operating system.

Go Language at 13 Years: Ecosystem, Evolution, and Future in Conversation with Steve Francia
Go was started more than a decade ago in the Engineering department at Google. It was designed with the purpose of providing an easy-to-learn programming language that would allow to develop Google's systems at the next level. In the past decade, the language became more and more stable, currently being used for implementing some of the most popular tools on the web (Kubernetes, Terraform etc.).
