Separation of Concerns in Node.js
In Node.js you can structure your code however you want. There is no "correct way". You have the option of writing all of your code in a single app.js file or creating multiple files and placing them in different folders. Most developers, however, would recommend structuring your projects by grouping related data together rather than having it all together.

How We Built Testability with Psychological Safety
Testability can enable teams to make changes to their code bases without requiring extensive regression testing. To build testability, team members must collaborate and leverage each other's unique skills. Unfortunately, effective collaboration does not come naturally to people and therefore needs leadership to nurture people's ability to speak up and share their knowledge.

Code Red: the Business Impact of Code Quality
Everyone in the software industry “knows” that code quality is important, yet we never had any data or numbers to prove it. In this article, we explore the impact by diving into recent research on code quality. With twice the development speed, 15 times fewer bugs, and a significant reduction of uncertainty in completion times, the business advantage of code quality is unmistakably clear.

Turning a Node.js Monolith into a Monorepo without Disrupting the Team
Splitting monoliths into services creates complexity in maintaining multiple repositories (one per service) with separate (yet interdependent) build processes and versioning history. Monorepos have become a popular solution to reduce that complexity.

eBPF and the Service Mesh: Don't Dismiss the Sidecar Yet
While eBPF looks promising to improve service mesh sidecar proxy performance, there are other, simplier ways to improve performance. The layer 7 processing needed for service meshes is unlikely to be feasible in eBPF for the foreseeable future, which means that meshes will still need proxies.

Avoiding excessive technical debt and ensuring systems are secure and performant becomes increasingly important. As an engineering leader, you can do things to be confident that your team is moving at the fastest and most sustainable pace.
