Reduce Carbon Dioxide Emissions with Serverless and Kubernetes Native Java
Moving application workloads to multi- and hybrid cloud platforms causes more carbon dioxide emissions, although better scalability and performance. Serverless and Kubernetes Native Java enable developers to solve the global climate changes by reducing carbon dioxide emissions by natively native features with milliseconds first boot time, tiny resident set size memory and scalability.

Building Effective Developer Tools to Enable an Entire Organization to Move Faster
Building effective tooling can help bring down the time to delivery and increase the number of changes delivered safely. This article demonstrates the tools that Monzo has built to enable developers, and how these tools are being used within the engineering function to deploy hundreds of times per day and beyond the engineering function to run a bank at scale.

How Do We Utilize Chaos Engineering to Become Better Cloud-Native Engineers?
Engineers these days are closer to the product and the customer needs—there is still a long way to go and companies are still struggling with how to get engineers closer to their customers to understand in-depth what their business impact is: what do they solve, what’s their influence on the customer, and what is their impact on the product?

Netflix Drive: Building a Cloud-Native Filesystem for Media Assets
In this article, Tejas Chopra discusses Netflix Drive, a generic cloud drive for storing and retrieving media assets - a collection of media files and folders in Netflix. Netflix Drive ties together disparate data (such as: AWS S3, Ceph Storage, Google Cloud Storage, and others) and metadata stores in a cogent form for creating, cataloging and serving these assets to applications and workflows.

Evolving DevSecOps to Include Policy Management
A thorough implementation of policy management tools is required for effective compliance and security management in a DevOps environment. Companies that accept policy management in DevSecOps as a way of development and have adopted some level of policy management best practices tend to operate more efficiently.

A Recipe to Migrate and Scale Monoliths in the Cloud
In this article, I want to present a simple cloud architecture that can allow an organization to take monolithic applications to the cloud incrementally without a dramatic change in the architecture. We will discuss the minimal requirements and basic components to take advantage of the scalability of the cloud.

Article Series: Native Compilation Boosts Java
Java dominates enterprise applications. But in the cloud, Java is more expensive than some competitors. Native compilation makes Java in the cloud cheaper. It raises many questions for all Java users: How does native Java change development? When should we switch to native Java? When should we not? And what framework should we use for native Java? This series provides answers to these questions.

The Role of DevOps in Cloud Security Management
Different areas of cloud security must be examined to strengthen security in the cloud versus security of the cloud. This includes identifying requirements, defining the architecture, analyzing controls, and identifying gaps. Security must be both proactive and reactive, so it needs to be considered in every step of development.

Designing Secure Tenant Isolation in Python for Serverless Apps
Software as a Service (SaaS) has become a very common way to deliver software today. While providing the benefits of easy access to users without the overhead of having to manage the operations themselves, this flips the paradigm and places the responsibility on software providers for maintaining ironclad SLAs, as well as all of the security and data privacy requirements.

Sustaining Fast Flow with Socio-Technical Thinking
To sustain a fast flow of changes over long periods of time, organizations address both the social and technical, socio-technical, aspects of reducing complexity. Examples are incentivising good technical practices to keep code maintainable, architecting systems to minimize dependencies and maximize team motivation, and leveraging platforms to preclude whole categories of infrastructure blockers.

Kubernetes Native Java with Quarkus
Quarkus is an industry leader in startup time and memory utilization for native and JVM-based Java applications. This reduces cloud costs. Kubernetes is a first-class deployment platform in Quarkus with support for its primitives and features. Developers can use their Java knowledge of APIs like Jakarta EE, MicroProfile, Spring, etc. Applications can be imperative or reactive - or both!
