Using Golang to Build Microservices at The Economist: A Retrospective
Microservices written in Go was a key component of a new system that would enable The Economist to deliver scalable, high performing services and quickly iterate new products. Go's baked in concurrency and API support along with its design as a static, compiled language enabled a distributed eventing system. Overall, The Economist team's experience with Go has been a positive experience.

Exploring Azure Service Fabric Mesh: A Platform for Building Mission Critical Microservices
Azure has released a preview of Service Fabric Mesh, a platform targeted at microservice developers who do not want the operational responsibility of running an underlying orchestration platform. InfoQ recently sat down with Chacko Daniel, principal technical PM at Microsoft, to explore the details.

The Serverless Sea Change
This article defines and explains how serverless is different from other application architectures and then walks through a "proof" of sorts to show that serverless application architectures, when done properly, are superior to non-serverless architectures. Finally, it concludes with a number of rules of thumb to help architects and developers realize the benefits of serverless.

Getting Started with Istio Service Mesh Routing
In the following tutorial, we will use Istio to demonstrate one of the most powerful features of service meshes: “per request routing.” This feature allows the routing of arbitrary requests that are marked by selected HTTP headers to specific targets, which is possible only with a (OSI) layer 7 proxy. No layer 4 load balancer or proxy can achieve this functionality.

Stateful Service Design Considerations for the Kubernetes Stack
At this summer’s QCon in New York, Jonas Bonér delivered one of the most popular talks of the conference with his focus on Designing Events-First Microservices. In this InfoQ Q&A, we asked Bonér to explain how “bringing bad habits from monolithic design” is a road to nowhere for service design, and where he sees his Akka framework fitting in the cloud-native stack.
