Will Cloud Computing Kill Open Source Development?
While open source development is not going to disappear, the future of commercial open source is not very promising. Cloud providers are adopting open source software without necessarily adding value, or supporting future development. No industry consensus exists on the best way to fund open source development. Many continue to believe that open source software should be free.

Stateful Service Design Considerations for the Kubernetes Stack
At this summer’s QCon in New York, Jonas Bonér delivered one of the most popular talks of the conference with his focus on Designing Events-First Microservices. In this InfoQ Q&A, we asked Bonér to explain how “bringing bad habits from monolithic design” is a road to nowhere for service design, and where he sees his Akka framework fitting in the cloud-native stack.

Give REST a Rest with RSocket
Representational State Transfer (REST) has become the de facto standard for communicating between microservices. The author argues that is not a good thing. We need a modern material to replace HTTP for creating modern services. Open source RSocket is designed for services. It is a connection-oriented, message-driven protocol with built-in flow control at the application level.

An Introduction to Kotlin for Serverside Java Developers
Kotlin is one of the newer languages on the JVM from JetBrains, the makers of IntelliJ. It is a statically typed language which aims to provide a blend of OO and FP programming styles. Kotlin compiler creates bytecode compatible with the JVM, allowing it to run on the JVM and interoperate with existing libraries. We present the main features that might appeal to Java developers.

Modeling Uncertainty with Reactive DDD
Vaughn Vernon has written several books on DDD and reactive messaging patterns, and has found that the nature of distributed systems means you must deal with uncertainty. How to respond to a missing message, or a message that is received twice, should be a business decision, and therefore must be part of the domain model.
