Designing Resilient Event-Driven Systems at Scale
Learn how to design resilient event-driven systems that scale. Explore key patterns like shuffle sharding and decoupling queues to handle load spikes and failures. Understand common pitfalls like over-relying on retries and neglecting observability for robust, scalable architectures.

Orchestrating Resilience Building Modern Asynchronous Systems
In this article, we will discuss what problems we had to solve at Twilio to efficiently build a resilient and scalable asynchronous system to handle a complex workflow and the advantages we got from adopting a Workflow Orchestration solution, including abstracting away state management and out-of-the-box support for retries, observability, and audibility.

A Standardized, Specification-Driven API Lifecycle
At QCon Plus last November, Kin Lane, Chief Evangelist with Postman, and the Open Technologies Team lead presented on API specifications. API specifications are essential to him and at Postman. So he wanted to share a bit of how they see API specifications impacting how they produce and consume APIs.

Turning Microservices Inside-Out
Turning microservices inside-out means moving past a single, request/response API to designing microservices with an inbound API for queries and commands, an outbound APIs to emit events, and a meta API to describe them both. A database can be supplemented with Apache Kafka via a connecting tissue such as Debezium.

Resilient Systems in Banking
Resilience is about tolerating failure, not eliminating it. To build a resilient system, you must build a system that absorbs shocks, and continues or recovers. Following best practices for resilient architecture, including established cloud patterns, allowed Starling Bank to build a bank, from scratch, in a year, against a backdrop of highly public outages amongst incumbent banks.

Asynchronous, Event-Driven Web Servers for the JVM: Deft and Loft
Asynchronous, event-driven architectures have been gaining a lot of attention lately, mostly with respect to JavaScript and Node.js. Deft and Loft are two solutions that bring "asynchronous purity" to the JVM.
