Adoption of Cloud Native Architecture, Part 2: Stabilization Gaps and Anti-patterns
In this second part of cloud native adoption article series, authors discuss the anti-patterns to watch out for when using microservices architecture in your applications. They also discuss how to balance between architecture and technology stability by ensuring to not reinvent the wheel in every new application and at the same time, avoiding arbitrary reuse of technologies.

The Past, Present, and Future of API Gateways
The edge has evolved from simple hardware load balancers to a full stack of hardware and software proxies that comprise API Gateways, content delivery networks, and load balancers. In this article, we’ll trace the evolution of the data center edge as application architecture and workflows have evolved.

Edge Computing and Flow Evolution
Edge computing echoes science from the field of complex adaptive systems that explains scaling patterns. Understand this science to make better decisions about what to run "on the edge."

Data Gateways in the Cloud Native Era
Data Gateways act like API Gateways but focus on access to the data aspect. A Data Gateway offers abstractions, security, scaling, federation, and contract-driven development features. There are many types of Data Gateways, from the traditional data virtualization technologies, to light GraphQL translators, cloud-hosted services, connection pools, and fully open source alternatives.

Failover Conf Q&A on Building Reliable Systems: People, Process, and Practice
One of the biggest engineering challenges associated with maintaining or increasing the reliability of a system is knowing where to invest time and energy. InfoQ recently sat down with several engineers and technical leaders who are involved with the upcoming Failover Conf virtual event, and asked their opinion on the best practices for building and running reliable systems.

Is Edge Computing a Thing?
Edge Computing is definitely a thing, but the computing need not occur at the edge. Instead what is needed is an ability to compute (anywhere) on streaming data from large numbers of dynamically changing devices, in the edge environment. This in turn demands an architectural pattern for stateful, distributed computing.

Graph Knowledge Base for Stateful Cloud-Native Applications
The lack of support for stateful cloud-native application behavior is a roadblock to many cloud use-cases. This article looks at graph knowledge-based systems which offer one approach to the design of next-generation platforms.

Multi-Runtime Microservices Architecture
Best practices have emerged around “microservice” architecture and “12-factor app” design. As cloud, containers, and container orchestrators (.g. Kubernetes) have become popular, new solutions to address common integration principles have emerged. This article discusses the approach of using "mecha" components to provide enterprise integration pattern functionality for microservices.

Functional UI - a Model-Based Approach
Functional UI techniques rely on the functional relation between events processed by the user interface and the actions performed by the interface. If the user interface has discrete modes in which its behavior can be expressed simply, a modelization with state machines is an advantageous functional UI technique. This article explains the technique, its benefits and how it is used in the industry.
