How to Mitigate the Pain of Getting and Giving Feedback
Companies that encourage open and honest feedback do better than companies that do not. Nonetheless, giving feedback is difficult because social and physical pain share some of the same neural circuitry. Hence, feedback can feel physically painful, as Sarah Hagan discusses in her 2018 QCon San Francisco talk . Hagan uses scientific research to demonstrate how to give feedback properly.

Application Integration for Microservices Architectures: A Service Mesh Is Not an ESB
A service mesh is only meant to be used as infrastructure for communication between services, and developers should not be building any business logic inside the service mesh. Other frameworks and libraries can be used to implement cloud native enterprise application integration patterns.

Architecture with 800 of My Closest Friends: The Evolution of Comcast’s Architecture Guild
Comcast has cultivated an Architecture Guild, with the goal of "threading the needle" between obtaining advantageous critical mass around certain common technologies without undermining individual teams' agency. The Architecture Guild is a grassroots framework that has been used to cut across organizational boundaries to identify solid, workable, default recommendations.

Real-Time Data Processing Using Redis Streams and Apache Spark Structured Streaming
Structured Streaming, introduced with Apache Spark 2.0, delivers a SQL-like interface for streaming data. Redis Streams enables Redis to consume, hold and distribute streaming data between multiple producers and consumers. In this article, author Roshan Kumar walks us through how to process streaming data in real time using Redis and Apache Spark Streaming technologies.

The Potential for Using a Service Mesh for Event-Driven Messaging
In this article, we discuss one of the most challenging and unexplored areas in service mesh architecture; supporting event-driven messaging. There are two main architectural patterns that we discuss here: the protocol proxy sidecar, and the HTTP bridge sidecar. Regardless of the pattern that is used, the sidecar can facilitate features such as observability, throttling, tracing etc.

API Gateways and Service Meshes: Opening the Door to Application Modernisation
Modernising applications by decoupling them from the underlying infrastructure on which they are running can enable innovation, reduce costs, and improve security. An API Gateway can decouple applications from external consumers, and a service mesh decouples applications from internal consumers.
