Building Reliable Software Systems with Chaos Engineering
Advances in large-scale, distributed software systems are changing the game for software engineering. As an industry, we are quick to adopt practices that improve flexibility and improve feature velocity. If we can move quickly, can we do so without breaking things? Chaos Engineering practices can be used to navigate complexity and build more reliable systems.

Case Study: a Decade of Microservices at a Financial Firm
Microservices are the hot new architectural pattern, but the problem with “hot” and “new” is that it can take years for the real costs of an architectural pattern to be revealed. Fortunately, the pattern isn’t new, just the name is. So, we can learn from companies that have been doing this for a decade or more.

Keeping Technology Change Human
When we are at the forefront of so much change, it's easy to forget that other people around us find change more challenging. This article is a reminder to look beyond the code and processes, to consider how tech team actions can affect our users in emotional ways. It seeks to establish a few ways of thinking to help bring others along with us when working through technology change.

Containers Are Contagious and Often Misused
Let’s get something straight right right from the start— this article is not to argue that containers are bad; containers are certainly one of many great options developers have in their hands today. This article is also not scoped at the pros/cons of containers; my intent is just to present the developers and dev leads with some considerations around containers.

Local-First Cooperation: Autonomy at the Edge, Secured by Crypto, 100% Available
Why do two local devices need the cloud to be able to communicate? Shouldn't we be able to enable robust cooperation between nearby computing devices? This idea is the realm of local-first cooperation. In what follows, the author discusses the technologies used to make it function and a few places where work is still needed.
