Testing Quarkus Web Applications: Reactive Messaging, Kafka, and Testcontainers
Quarkus is a full-stack, Kubernetes-native Java framework that supports many coding styles, including reactive programming. Writing clean unit/component/integration tests for Quarkus applications when a reactive approach is used is vitally important. Here we demonstrate testing reactive code, reactive messaging, and full integration testing.

Blockchain Node Providers and How They Work
In this article, we will review the concept of a blockchain node, the problems a developer might face while deploying a node, and the working principle of Blockchain-as-a-Service providers, which simplify the integration of the blockchain into products, maintaining wallets, or keeping the blockchain in sync.

Saga Orchestration for Microservices Using the Outbox Pattern
The outbox pattern, implemented via change data capture, is a proven approach for addressing the concern of data exchange between microservices. The saga pattern, as demonstrated in this article, is useful for data updates that span multiple microservices.

The Future of Data Engineering
Chris Riccomini examines the current and future states of the art in data pipelines, data streaming, and data warehousing. He presents a six-stage evolution that data ecosystems follow, from a simple monolith to a complex data-microwarehouse architecture as the data engineers who manage them solve problems and clarify their roles as infrastructure engineers, rather than data stewards.

Microservices from the Trenches: Lessons, Benefits, Challenges, and Mistakes
Nicky Wrightson, from Skyscanner, hosted a panel at QCon London with participants who have moved from the monolith to microservices and in some cases back again. They share their experience with microservices on production, and also strong opinions on monorepos, on operating distributed systems, and on the best way to structure an organization to make a success of this architecture.

Who is on the Team?
Ahmad Fahmy and Cesario Ramos take the changes to the new Scrum Guide as an opportunity to explore what it means to be "on a team." They draw on research to create an ACID test to differentiate who is on the team and who isn't. They discuss different mental models around the idea of a team with the hopes that you take this opportunity to discuss and elevate the roles within your organization.

Testing Quarkus Web Applications: Component & Integration Tests
Quarkus is a full-stack, Kubernetes-native Java framework made for Java virtual machines (JVMs) and native compilation. Instead of reinventing the wheel, Quarkus uses well-known enterprise-grade frameworks backed by standards/specifications and makes them compilable to a binary using Graal VM. This article focuses on using some of the Quarkus testing facilities.
