Principles for Microservice Design: Think IDEALS, Rather than SOLID
For object-oriented design we follow the SOLID principles. For microservice design we propose developers follow the “IDEALS”: interface segregation, deployability (is on you), event-driven, availability over consistency, loose-coupling, and single responsibility.

Running Axon Server in Docker and Kubernetes
Axon Server is an all-in-one solution for CQRS and ES applications written in Java for the Axon Framework. In Part 2 we continue by looking at the platform we run it on; in particular Docker and Kubernetes.

The Challenges of Building a Reliable Real-Time Event-Driven Ecosystem
Globally, there is an increasing appetite for data delivered in real time; we are witnessing the emergence of the real time API. When it comes to event-driven APIs engineers can choose between multiple different protocols. In addition to choosing a protocol, engineers also have to think about subscription models, too: server-initiated (push-based) or client-initiated (pull-based).

Applied Probability - Counting Large Set of Unstructured Events with Theta Sketches
In this article, author Ronen Cohen discusses the solution to processing the event data using Theta Sketches and technologies like HBase and Kafka.

Running Axon Server - CQRS and Event Sourcing in Java
Axon Server Standard Edition is an Open Source, purpose-built solution supporting distributed CQRS and Event Sourcing applications written in Java with the Axon Framework. Part one in this series discusses running it locally and explores aspects of Administration/Security and Configuration. It also discusses more advanced features available with the Enterprise Edition - Clustering/Multi-Contexts.

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.

The Kongo Problem: Building a Scalable IoT Application with Apache Kafka
In this article, author Paul Brebner discusses the best practices for developing IoT projects using Apache Kafka and Kafka Streams technologies and how to maximize Kafka scalability.

Rethinking Flink’s APIs for a Unified Data Processing Framework
Since its very early days, Apache Flink has followed the philosophy of taking a unified approach to batch and streaming. The core building block is the “continuous processing of unbounded data streams, with batch as a special, bounded set of those streams.” Recent updates to the Flink APIs include architectural designs by the community to support batch and streaming unification in Apache Flink.

Obscuring Complexity
One of the most important things that software architects do is manage the complexity of their systems in order to mitigate release disruption while maintaining sufficient feature velocity. When we cannot reduce complexity, we try to hide or shift it. Software architects tend to manage that complexity with the time-honored strategies covered in this article.

Q&A on the Book Internal Tech Conferences
The book Internal Tech Conferences by Victoria Morgan-Smith and Matthew Skelton is a practical guide on how to prepare, organise, and follow-up on internal tech conferences. It shows how to run internal events that enable sharing and learning across teams and departments, and explores the benefits that such events can bring.

The Potential for Using a Service Mesh for Event-Driven Messaging
In this article, we discuss one of the most challenging and unexplored areas in service mesh architecture; supporting event-driven messaging. There are two main architectural patterns that we discuss here: the protocol proxy sidecar, and the HTTP bridge sidecar. Regardless of the pattern that is used, the sidecar can facilitate features such as observability, throttling, tracing etc.

Architecture and Design InfoQ Trends Report - January 2019
An overview of how the InfoQ editorial team sees the “architecture and design” (A&D) topic evolving in 2019, which focuses on fundamental architectural patterns, framework usage, and design skills.
