Microservices Integration Done Right Using Contract-Driven Development
Build your microservices and micro-frontend in parallel and deploy them independently without worrying about integration issues, by leveraging API specifications such as OpenAPI and AsyncAPI as executable contracts to shift left the identification of compatibility bugs with Contract Driven Development using Specmatic, thereby removing the need for integration testing.

GraalVM Java Compilers Join OpenJDK in 2023, Align with OpenJDK Releases and Processes
The Community Editions of the GraalVM JIT and Ahead-of-Time (AOT) compilers will move to OpenJDK in 2023. They will align with OpenJDK releases and processes. Existing releases, GraalVM Enterprise Edition, and other GraalVM projects will not. GraalVM 22.3 provides experimental support for JDK 19 and improves observability. Project Leyden will standardize Java AOT compilation.

Going from Architect to Architecting: the Evolution of a Key Role
This article explores the cultural change of moving towards shared architecture, and the role that the architect has evolved into; from one with an air of authority and singular vision, to one in which system design issues are surfaced, which require team-wide input to resolve. Teams being coached and guided towards shared ownership might be struggling with the paradigm shift of ownership.

Colliding Communities, Cloud Native, and Telecommunications Standards
What happens when an ecosystem driven from the bottom up collides with a community characterized by top-down development? The 5g broadband cellular network standard by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the Network Function Virtualization (NFV) standard by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), and the Service Function Chain RFC (request for comments) are examples.

What Does Technical Debt Tell You?
Technical debt is a popular metaphor for communicating the long-term implications of architectural decisions and trade-offs to stakeholders, but there are limitations to its usefulness. Incorporating quality attribute requirements, or using a different metaphor such as deferred maintenance, can help improve decision making.

Separation of Concerns in Node.js
In Node.js you can structure your code however you want. There is no "correct way". You have the option of writing all of your code in a single app.js file or creating multiple files and placing them in different folders. Most developers, however, would recommend structuring your projects by grouping related data together rather than having it all together.
