PSD2: Blessing or Curse for Banks?
PSD2 will force all European banks to offer three APIs (Accounts, Transactions and Payments) free of charges to all 3rd parties approved by the ECB.

Improving Testability of Java Microservices with Container Orchestration and a Service Mesh
In enterprise test scenarios, software needs to be tested in the same way as it will run in production. This article provides a practical demonstration of testing Java microservices that are running on Kubernetes with the Istio service mesh. K8s service abstractions enable mocking, and Istio enables us to re-route traffic and inject faulty responses or delays to verify our services' resiliency.

Securing web.config with Encryption Certificates on Windows and Azure
A major area where security is often lax is the web.config file. Usually stored in plain text, an intruder who gains access to this file can then easily access databases and other resources both internal and external. With this technique, secrets in your web.config can be encrypted using the Windows certificate store

Getting to Know Graal, the New Java JIT Compiler
Oracle have released Graal, a new JIT compiler for Java. For Java developers, Graal can be thought of as several separate but connected projects - it is a new JIT compiler for HotSpot, and also a new polyglot virtual machine, GraalVM. The initial release includes support for JVM bytecode and JavaScript with LLVM, Ruby and R in beta.

Your Roadmap to an Open Mobile Application Development Strategy
This article explains why, in a fast-changing mobile app environment, organizations should aim for flexibility by using an open development infrastructure for their mobile app development. This infrastructure should support multiple deployment options, decouple the front-end and MBaaS infrastructure, enable task automation by using both cloud services and a low-code development approach.
