Rules of Thumb & Traps When Approaching Tech Stack Decisions

At the MVP stage - do only the stuff you would do in a hackathon. Scalability and processes will become important once we have predictable revenue streams. Where are you generating your unique value proposition? Outsource all aspects of the tech solution which are not in a relationship with your competitive advantage. Follow a general tech directive but balance it with the team's autonomy.

Infrastructure as a Code—Why Drift Management Is Not Enough

The reality is that configuration drift will remain unavoidable for the foreseeable future. An EaaS solution, coupled with an IaC platform and good change management policies will help you prevent drift and shorten your development cycles.

Managing Kubernetes Secrets with the External Secrets Operator

Kubernetes doesn’t yet have the capabilities to manage the lifecycle of secrets, so sometimes we need external systems to manage this sensitive information. Once the amount of secret information we need to manage increases, we may need additional tools to simplify and better manage the process. In this article, we’ll take a detailed look at one of these tools, the External Secrets Operator.

Mobile Video-Conferencing Using Jitsi

In this article, we will look at alternatives for providing video meetings on mobile devices. We take Jitsi as a popular open source option, which provides Jitsi Meet, an ad-hoc video meetings service, and JaaS, a service platform for developers. Looking at user engagement data, we see there’s no "one size fits all" solution.

Architectural Frameworks, Patterns, and Tactics Are No Substitute for Making Your Own Decisions

Software frameworks greatly amplify a team’s productivity, but also make implicit decisions. The benefits and limitations must be understood because of the impact on the resulting system architecture.

Gatling vs JMeter - What to Use for Performance Testing

A performance tool with a graphical interface will probably be easier to use at the beginning, but the idea of a performance test as code is the future. Tests are readable and much easier to maintain. Many people are skeptical about Gatling because it requires learning a new programming language - Scala. However, Java is supported with the release of Gatling 3.7.

Kafka Streams and Quarkus: Real-Time Processing Events

Consuming Kafka messages is simple; you get them as long as they are produced, but nothing more. But if you need real-time processing of the data (filtering, joining, or manipulating events), just using the Kafka-consuming API might not be the best approach as the resulting code becomes complex. Kafka Streams and Quarkus are the perfect matches to start processing Kafka events in real-time.

Using GraphQL and Ballerina with Multiple Data Sources

The Ballerina programming language is well-suited to developing GraphQL applications, due to the network abstractions, network-aware type system, clear data representations, and visual diagrams. This article discusses the benefits of GraphQL and Ballerina, and walks through a sample application that retrieves data from a database and a 3rd-party API.

The Compounding (Business) Value of Composable Ecosystems

Being “free” and open source doesn’t hinder the value of these projects to businesses and end users; rather it unlocks it. The composability of open source ecosystems allows the innovation and value of the whole ecosystem to compound on itself.
