From Cloud to Cloudlets: a New Approach to Data Processing?
The growing popularity of small, distributed clouds, or “cloudlets” is an implicit recognition of the limitations of the “traditional” cloud model, and could signal a major shift in the way that data is collected, stored, and processed.

Azure + Spring Boot = Serverless - Q&A with Julien Dubois
Microsoft seems to prove over and over again its focus on cloud and the Java ecosystem is the new normal. Even though Java has been amongst the supported languages for Azure functions for some time now, Julien Dubois experimented with Spring Boot and Azure to see what this combination means for Azure serverless computing. InfoQ reached out to him to explore further his experience on this topic.

Principles for Microservice Design: Think IDEALS, Rather than SOLID
For object-oriented design we follow the SOLID principles. For microservice design we propose developers follow the “IDEALS”: interface segregation, deployability (is on you), event-driven, availability over consistency, loose-coupling, and single responsibility.
