Interactive Microservices as an Alternative to Micro Front-Ends for Modularizing the UI Layer
While microservices architectures are well established for the back-ends of software systems, the same cannot be said for front-ends. Interactive microservices are based on a new type of web API that Qworum defines, the multi-phase web API, where the endpoint calls may involve more than one request-response pair, also called a phase.

Writing Cloud Native Network Functions (CNFs): One Concern per Container
This article discusses the “one concern, one process” design for containers and Cloud native network functions (CNFs).

The Future of Service Mesh is Networking
On this journey, we will discover that, to quote David Mooter, “The future of service mesh is as a networking feature, not a product category, as far out of sight and mind from developers as possible—and that is a good thing.”

The Process of Creating Decentralized Apps (dApps)
A decentralized application has a different architectural approach; they are working on distributed ledger technology called blockchain, where there is no central point of failure nor third parties involved. A revolutionary and attractive technology for new opportunities. This article covers creating such applications and why they are needed, as well as challenges during implementation.

The Unit in Unit Testing
In this article, we will focus on how developers should consider using fake objects instead of mock objects, as fake objects offer similar isolation benefits while driving high confidence, clear documentation, and loose coupling between implementation and test code.

How Practicing TCR (Test && Commit || Revert) Reduces Batch Size
The practice of test && commit || revert teaches how to write code in smaller chunks, further reducing batch size. TCR yields high coverage by design, which smooths the downstream testing pipeline.

Environment-as-a-Service (EaaS) as a Technique to Raise Productivity in Teams
In essence, EaaS addresses developer productivity issues by providing settings that make it simple for developers to test and mimic real-world uses of their system. This article discusses the benefits of EaaS.

How I Contributed as a Tester to a Machine Learning System: Opportunities, Challenges and Learnings
Have you ever wondered about systems based on machine learning? In those cases, testing takes a backseat. And even if testing is done, it’s done mostly by developers themselves. A tester’s role is not clearly portrayed. Testers usually struggle to understand ML-based systems and explore what contributions they can make. This is a journey of assuring quality of ML-based systems as a tester.

Building Functional .NET Applications: a Guide for Choosing between F# vs C#
C# and F# are languages, each with growing user bases, that approach functional programming in fundamentally different ways. C# relies on object-oriented, imperative principles, and F# relies on functional principles. Some developers are using F# as a complement to C#, rather than relying on the functional capabilities that exist natively in C#.

PHP 8 - Arrays, Variables, Operators, Exception Handling and More
In this article, we discuss new features brought by PHP 8 related to arrays, variables, operators, and exception handling. We also discussed some trait-, class-, and function-related features. This article concludes the PHP 8 article series.

Containers and Serverless—Rivals or Cohorts?
This article will try to decode these technologies and explore how developers should consider containers or serverless functions within their tech stack. For example, if your application has a longer startup time, then a container would suit the need better. Highly efficient stateless functions that need to scale up and down massively would benefit from running serverless functions.

Article Series: Developing Apache Kafka applications on Kubernetes
Apache Kafka has integrations with most of the languages used these days, but in this article series, we cover its integration with Java. In this series, we also discuss how to provision, configure and secure an Apache Kafka cluster on a Kubernetes cluster.
