The Role of Digital Twins in Unlocking the Cloud's Potential
This article explores the use of the DT concept as a new way to make cloud services more developer-friendly. This new model aligns the development, deployment, and now the runtime aspects of a microservice into a single, cohesive unit, bridging the gap between developers and the cloud and paving the way for a new era of cloud services.

Debugging outside Your Comfort Zone: Diving beneath a Trusted Abstraction
This article takes a deep dive through a complex outage in the main database cluster of a payments company. We’ll focus on the aftermath of the incident - the process of understanding what went wrong, recreating the outage in a test cluster, and coming up with a way to stop it from happening again, and dive deep into the internals of Postgres, and learn about how it stores data on disk.

The Challenge of Cognitive Load in Platform Engineering: a Discussion with Paula Kennedy
In a recent article, Paula Kennedy shared her thoughts on the ever-increasing cognitive load being saddled onto development teams. Although platform engineering is touted as a solution to this challenge, a poorly designed platform will increase the cognitive burden on developers utilizing it. We must also be careful that we are not just transferring that cognitive load onto the platform teams.

Who Moved My Code? An Anatomy of Code Obfuscation
In this article, we introduce the topic of code obfuscation, with emphasis on string obfuscation. Obfuscation is an important practice to protect source code by making it unintelligible. Obfuscation is often mistaken with encryption, but they are different concepts. In the article we will present a number of techniques and approaches used to obfuscate data in a program.

Virtual Panel: the New US-EU Data Privacy Framework
Recent rulings by several European courts have set important precedents for restricting personal data transmission from the EU to the US. As a consequence, the US and EU have started working on a new agreement. In this virtual panel, three knowledgeable experts discuss where the existing agreements fall short, and whether a new privacy agreement could improve the current situation.
