InfoQ interviewed Jeremy Likness, program manager for .NET Data at Microsoft, to understand more about EF Core and what we should expect for its next release later this year.

Can We Trust the Cloud Not to Fail?
I will start with the theory behind failure detection, and then review a couple of real-world examples of how the mechanism works in a real cloud - on Azure.

Compiled, Typed, Ruby-Inspired Crystal Language is Ready for Production - Q&A with Beta Ziliani
The Crystal language is ready for production, 12 years after inception. Crystal is compiled for performance, typed for safety, and Ruby-like for productivity. Due to the strong type inference, developers need only sparse type annotations. We interviewed the head of the Crystal team on the language tradeoffs, the present features and the language roadmap.

Indestructible Storage in the Cloud with Apache Bookkeeper
At Salesforce, we required a storage system that could work with two kinds of streams, one stream for write-ahead logs and one for data. But we have competing requirements from both of the streams. Being the pioneers in cloud computing, we also required our storage system to be cloud-aware as the requirements of availability and durability are ever more increasing.

Running Axon Server in a Virtual Machine
In this series, we’ve been looking at running Axon Server locally, in Docker, and Kubernetes. What happens if we use a VM as a platform? Naturally, we need to do more work to get everything set up correctly, because instead of sharing a part of the Operating System, we now have to consider everything from the machine and upwards.

Article Series: Building Microservices in Java
This article series will explore the state-of-the-art in building microservice-based architectures using the Java language. Alongside popular stalwarts, such as Spring Boot and Dropwizard, newer frameworks, such as Quarkus, Micronaut and Helidon, have been gaining momentum. These frameworks emerged after MicroProfile was introduced to the Java community in 2016.
