Architecture and Design InfoQ Trends Report - January 2019
An overview of how the InfoQ editorial team sees the “architecture and design” (A&D) topic evolving in 2019, which focuses on fundamental architectural patterns, framework usage, and design skills.

Scaling a Distributed Stream Processor in a Containerized Environment
The article presents our experience of scaling a distributed stream processor in Kubernetes. The stream processor should provide support for maintaining the optimal level of parallelism. However, adding more resources incurs additional cost and also it does not guarantee performance improvements. Instead, the stream processor should identify the level of resource requirement and scale accordingly.

Building a VPC with CloudFormation - Part 2
If you're building separate Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) templates for each infrastructure use case, you can make existing templates more flexible by using Parameters, Conditions, Mappings, and Outputs.

Building a VPC with CloudFormation - Part 1
This article describes how to use AWS CloudFormation to create and manage a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), complete with subnets, NATting, and more. It's a lesson in treating infrastructure as code when building and managing cloud resources.

What Machine Learning Can Learn from DevOps
The fact that machine learning development focuses on hyperparameter tuning and data pipelines does not mean that we need to reinvent the wheel or look for a completely new way. According to Thiago de Faria, DevOps lays a strong foundation: culture change to support experimentation, continuous evaluation, sharing, abstraction layers, observability, and working in products and services.

Exploring Azure Service Fabric Mesh: A Platform for Building Mission Critical Microservices
Azure has released a preview of Service Fabric Mesh, a platform targeted at microservice developers who do not want the operational responsibility of running an underlying orchestration platform. InfoQ recently sat down with Chacko Daniel, principal technical PM at Microsoft, to explore the details.

The Serverless Sea Change
This article defines and explains how serverless is different from other application architectures and then walks through a "proof" of sorts to show that serverless application architectures, when done properly, are superior to non-serverless architectures. Finally, it concludes with a number of rules of thumb to help architects and developers realize the benefits of serverless.

Will Cloud Computing Kill Open Source Development?
While open source development is not going to disappear, the future of commercial open source is not very promising. Cloud providers are adopting open source software without necessarily adding value, or supporting future development. No industry consensus exists on the best way to fund open source development. Many continue to believe that open source software should be free.

Getting Started with Istio Service Mesh Routing
In the following tutorial, we will use Istio to demonstrate one of the most powerful features of service meshes: “per request routing.” This feature allows the routing of arbitrary requests that are marked by selected HTTP headers to specific targets, which is possible only with a (OSI) layer 7 proxy. No layer 4 load balancer or proxy can achieve this functionality.

Stateful Service Design Considerations for the Kubernetes Stack
At this summer’s QCon in New York, Jonas Bonér delivered one of the most popular talks of the conference with his focus on Designing Events-First Microservices. In this InfoQ Q&A, we asked Bonér to explain how “bringing bad habits from monolithic design” is a road to nowhere for service design, and where he sees his Akka framework fitting in the cloud-native stack.

How to Source Control Your Databases for DevOps
A robust DevOps environment requires having continuous integration for every component of the system. But far too often, the database is omitted from the equation. In this article, we discuss the unique aspects of databases, both relational and NoSQL, in a successful continuous integration environment.

Decoupling in Cloud Era: Building Cloud Native Microservices with Spring Cloud Azure
To implement a microservices architecture there are common patterns to use. Spring Cloud realizes these patterns as building blocks, and Spring Cloud Azure takes it one step further.
