Azure + Spring Boot = Serverless - Q&A with Julien Dubois
Microsoft seems to prove over and over again its focus on cloud and the Java ecosystem is the new normal. Even though Java has been amongst the supported languages for Azure functions for some time now, Julien Dubois experimented with Spring Boot and Azure to see what this combination means for Azure serverless computing. InfoQ reached out to him to explore further his experience on this topic.

From Monolith to Event-Driven: Finding Seams in Your Future Architecture
One of the challenges of migrating your system’s architecture is excluding non-desirable attributes and leaving the target state uncorrupted. An event-driven architecture and its related patterns, CQRS and Event Sourcing, are positioned well to introduce seams into the architecture that allow you to separate legacy and modern elements.

Q&A on the Book Untapped Agility
The book Untapped Agility by Jesse Fewell explains what holds organizations back in increasing their agility. It describes barriers that may appear during an agile transformation and provides “rebound” moves for unblocking the transformation and moving forward. This recurring pattern of Boost, then Barrier, then Rebound both encourages and enables frustrated agile champions.

Principles for Microservice Design: Think IDEALS, Rather than SOLID
For object-oriented design we follow the SOLID principles. For microservice design we propose developers follow the “IDEALS”: interface segregation, deployability (is on you), event-driven, availability over consistency, loose-coupling, and single responsibility.

Building Effective Microservices with gRPC, Ballerina, and Go
gRPC is a relatively new implementation of the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) API paradigm. It can play a major role in all synchronous communications between internal microservices. Here we examine key gRPC concepts, their usage, and benefits of having gRPC as an inter-service communication by using a real-world microservice use case.

Realtime APIs: Mike Amundsen on Designing for Speed and Observability
In a recent apidays webinar, Mike Amundsen, trainer and author of the recent O’Reilly book “API Traffic Management 101”, presented “High Performing APIs: Architecting for Speed at Scale”. Drawing on recent research by IDC, he argued that organisations will have to drive systemic changes in order to meet the upcoming increased demand of consumption of business services via APIs.

The Challenges of Building a Reliable Real-Time Event-Driven Ecosystem
Globally, there is an increasing appetite for data delivered in real time; we are witnessing the emergence of the real time API. When it comes to event-driven APIs engineers can choose between multiple different protocols. In addition to choosing a protocol, engineers also have to think about subscription models, too: server-initiated (push-based) or client-initiated (pull-based).

The Opportunity in App Modernization
The twin pressures of servicing apps running in production and modernizing them to the cloud are putting stress on development and platform teams. App Modernization needs to scale and be made efficient through documentation, products and frameworks. This article looks at the reasons, and approach, to app modernization.
