Donkey: a Highly-Performant HTTP Stack for Clojure
Donkey is the product of the quest for a highly performant Clojure HTTP stack aimed to scale at the rapid pace of growth we have been experiencing at AppsFlyer, and save us computing costs. In this article, we’ll briefly outline the use-case for a library like Donkey and present our benchmarks. Finally, we will discuss Clojure and immutability, and some of our design decisions.

Go Language at 13 Years: Ecosystem, Evolution, and Future in Conversation with Steve Francia
Go was started more than a decade ago in the Engineering department at Google. It was designed with the purpose of providing an easy-to-learn programming language that would allow to develop Google's systems at the next level. In the past decade, the language became more and more stable, currently being used for implementing some of the most popular tools on the web (Kubernetes, Terraform etc.).

Q&A on the Book Retrospectives Antipatterns
Using the familiar “patterns” approach, the book Retrospectives Antipatterns by Aino Vonge Corry describes unfortunate situations that can sometimes happen in retrospectives. For each situation, described as an antipattern, it also provides solutions for dealing with the situation; this can be a way to solve the problem directly or avoid similar problems in future retrospectives.

Monitoring Microservices the Right Way
Modern systems are more complex to monitor as they tend to emit large amounts of high cardinality data. Recent innovations in open-source time series databases have improved the scalability of newer monitoring tools such as Prometheus. These solutions are able to handle the high scale of data while providing metric scraping, querying, and visualization based on Prometheus and Grafana.

Server-Side Wasm - Q&A with Michael Yuan, Second State CEO
WebAssembly can be used server-side to provide the performance required by use cases such as blockchains and edge AI services. Non-standard extensions may address those use cases today, possibly weakening WebAssembly portability benefits. The gathered experience may however provide important inputs to current and future WebAssembly proposals.
