Green IoT for Energy Efficiency and Environmental Sustainability
The growth of IoT has resulted in improving connectivity amongst devices worldwide. Green IoT represents the energy efficient procedures adopted by IoT devices to achieve a sustainable and safer world. In order to green the IoT, it will be necessary to use less energy, look for new resources, reduce the negative effects of the IoT on human health, and cause less environmental disruption.

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.

Turning a Node.js Monolith into a Monorepo without Disrupting the Team
Splitting monoliths into services creates complexity in maintaining multiple repositories (one per service) with separate (yet interdependent) build processes and versioning history. Monorepos have become a popular solution to reduce that complexity.

Moving Kafka and Debezium to Kubernetes Using Strimzi - the GitOps Way
Deploying an Apache Kafka cluster to a Kubernetes is not an easy task. There are a lot of pieces to configure like the zookeeper, the Kafka cluster, topics, and users. Strimzi is a Kubernetes controller making the deployment process of Kafka a child game. Moreover, Strimzi lets you manage Kafka using GitOps methodology as everything is executed using a Kubernetes YAML file.

Virtual Threads: New Foundations for High-Scale Java Applications
Virtual threads are a lightweight implementation of Java threads, delivered as a preview feature in Java 19. They dramatically reduce the effort of writing, maintaining, and observing high-throughput concurrent applications. Virtual threads breathe new life into the familiar thread-per-request style of programming, allowing it to scale with near-optimal hardware utilization.

Location, Location, Location: MVA Considerations for Distributed Processing and Data
Even when designing a Minimum Viable Architecture (MVA), developers must consider resource location, especially when mobile apps are part of a distributed system. Distributing the data and processing can introduce new challenges if location is not part of the decision-making criteria.

Article Series: Continuous Architecture
In this series of articles, the authors reframe software architecture in terms of decisions that teams make about how their system will handle its quality attribute requirements (QARs). In their view, software architecture, reframed in terms of decisions, completes the picture of how the system works by making clear the choices that the team has made, and why.
