Chipping Away at the Monolith: Applying MVPs and MVAs to Legacy Applications
Legacy applications actually benefit the most from concepts like a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and its related Minimum Viable Architecture (MVA). Once you realize that every release is an experiment in value in which the release either improves the value that customers experience or doesn’t, you realize that every release, even one of a legacy application, can be thought of in terms of an MVP.

Cloud Native Network Functions Are Here
Compute elasticity, for instance, is reasonably allocated with virtual machines, containers, and orchestrators and managed with CI/CD pipelines. Network elasticity seems to be lacking in implementation. In this article, we show that cloud native network functions are an attempt to bring network applications into the cloud native world.

Creating a Secure Distributed Database Cluster Leveraging Your Existing Database Management System
The emergence of Big Data and data lakes doesn't necessarily mean the disappearance of the trusted relational database. The two can coexist, relational databases just need to adjust. For the transition we propose Database Plus, a new technology & concept applicable to any database, that answers these challenges and eliminates switching costs and vendor lock-in.

Debezium and Quarkus: Change Data Capture Patterns to Avoid Dual-Writes Problems
It’s common in microservices to write data in two places, a database and then send the content to another microservice. One approach to tackle this problem is dual writes, but you may lose data because of concurrent writes. Debezium is an open-source project for change data capture using the log scanner approach to avoid dual writes and communicate persisted data correctly between services.
