Multi-Runtime Microservices Architecture
Best practices have emerged around “microservice” architecture and “12-factor app” design. As cloud, containers, and container orchestrators (.g. Kubernetes) have become popular, new solutions to address common integration principles have emerged. This article discusses the approach of using "mecha" components to provide enterprise integration pattern functionality for microservices.

Data-Driven Decision Making – Product Development with Continuous Delivery Indicators
The Data-Driven Decision Making Series provides an overview of how the three main activities in the software delivery - Product Management, Development and Operations - can be supported by data-driven decision making. In Development, Continuous Delivery Indicators can be used to steer the efficiency of the development process.

Functional UI - a Model-Based Approach
Functional UI techniques rely on the functional relation between events processed by the user interface and the actions performed by the interface. If the user interface has discrete modes in which its behavior can be expressed simply, a modelization with state machines is an advantageous functional UI technique. This article explains the technique, its benefits and how it is used in the industry.

How to Avoid Cascading Failures in Distributed Systems
Cascading failures are failures that involve some kind of feedback mechanism. In distributed software systems they generally involve a feedback loop where some event causes either a reduction in capacity, an increase in latency, or a spike of errors. Laura Nolan explores them using public accounts of real production incidents.

Service Mesh Ultimate Guide 2020: Managing Service-to-Service Communications
This online guide aims to answer pertinent questions for software architects and technical leaders, such as: what is a service mesh? Do I need a service mesh? How do I evaluate the different service mesh offerings? In software architecture, a service mesh is a dedicated infrastructure layer for facilitating service-to-service communications between microservices, often using a sidecar proxy.

Q&A with Tyler Treat on Microservice Observability
Tyler Treat attempts to disambiguate the concepts of Observability and Monitoring. He discusses how the complexity of elastic systems produces more unknowns that require a discovery-based approach. InfoQ recently sat down with Treat to discuss the topics of observability and monitoring, and he shares some challenges and best practices when introducing observability concepts.
