Developing a Cloud-Native Application on Microsoft Azure Using Open Source Technologies
Cloud native is a development approach that improves building, maintainability, scalability, and deployment of applications. My intention with this article is to explain, in a pragmatic way, how to build, deploy, run, and monitor a simple cloud-native application on Microsoft Azure using open-source technologies.

What We Now Know: Digital Transformation Reaches a Point of Clarity
As much as it has been discussed and praised, digital transformation has suffered from a lack of clear definition. While the promise of becoming “customer-centric” and “disruptive” has been widely publicized, there has still been little in actual guidance as to how to achieve those and many of the other benefits commonly associated with digital transformation. This article offers concrete advice

DevOps and Cloud InfoQ Trends Report – June 2022
This article summarizes how we see the "cloud computing and DevOps" space in 2022, which focuses on fundamental infrastructure and operational patterns, the realization of patterns in technology frameworks, and the design processes and skills that a software architect or engineer must cultivate.

Minimum Viable Architecture in Practice: Creating a Home Insurance Chatbot
Even a simple application, like the one described in this article, needs a minimum viable product (MVP) and a minimum viable architecture (MVA). This is the second article in a series on MVA.

How Do We Utilize Chaos Engineering to Become Better Cloud-Native Engineers?
Engineers these days are closer to the product and the customer needs—there is still a long way to go and companies are still struggling with how to get engineers closer to their customers to understand in-depth what their business impact is: what do they solve, what’s their influence on the customer, and what is their impact on the product?

A Minimum Viable Product Needs a Minimum Viable Architecture
Creating a Minimum Viable Architecture as part of an MVP helps teams to evaluate the technical viability and to provide a stable foundation for the product that can be adapted as the product evolves.

Evolving DevSecOps to Include Policy Management
A thorough implementation of policy management tools is required for effective compliance and security management in a DevOps environment. Companies that accept policy management in DevSecOps as a way of development and have adopted some level of policy management best practices tend to operate more efficiently.

Go Native with Spring Boot and GraalVM
Spring Boot 3 & Spring Framework 6, due in late 2022, will have built-in support for native Java. For Spring Framework 5.x & Spring Boot 2.x, Spring Native is the way to go. Spring Native provides integrations for Spring's vast ecosystem of libraries. It also has a component model that allows you to extend native compilation support for other libraries.

The What and Why of Programmable Proxies
A question which gets often asked is “What is a programmable proxy, and why do I need one?” This article tries to answer this question from different perspectives. We will start with a brief definition of what a proxy is, then discuss how proxies evolved, explaining what needs they responded to and what benefits they offered at each stage. Finally, we discuss several aspects of programmability.

Why You Should Care about Software Architecture
Software development teams have resisted "big upfront designs" in favor of architectural designs emerging from self-organizing teams, which can lead to a mindset that software architecture is not really that important. Greater awareness of the implicit decisions they are making, and forcing these decisions to be made explicitly, can help development teams make better, more informed decisions.

Reducing Cognitive Load in Agile DevOps Teams Using Team Topologies
In this article we will be sharing our experience from 12 months of adopting certain management and organisational insights from the book Team Topologies. It explores how we identified areas of responsibility and assigned those into mostly customer-facing domains which could be given to our teams. It shows how an inverse Conway manoeuvre can be used to improve the architecture.

Chaos Engineering and Observability with Visual Metaphors
This article introduces a new actor for visualising chaos engineering and observability: metaphors. It provides the conceptual foundations of chaos engineering and observability, presents a state of art of visualisation techniques available in the market and shows how treemaps, gauge charts, geocentric and city metaphors can enrich the spectrum of the visual strategies to observe the chaos.
