Monitoring Microservices the Right Way
Modern systems are more complex to monitor as they tend to emit large amounts of high cardinality data. Recent innovations in open-source time series databases have improved the scalability of newer monitoring tools such as Prometheus. These solutions are able to handle the high scale of data while providing metric scraping, querying, and visualization based on Prometheus and Grafana.

Server-Side Wasm - Q&A with Michael Yuan, Second State CEO
WebAssembly can be used server-side to provide the performance required by use cases such as blockchains and edge AI services. Non-standard extensions may address those use cases today, possibly weakening WebAssembly portability benefits. The gathered experience may however provide important inputs to current and future WebAssembly proposals.

Kick-off Your Transformation by Imagining It Had Failed
Large scale change initiatives have a worryingly high failure rate, the chief reason for which is that serious risks are not identified early. One way to create the safety needed for everyone to speak openly about the risks they see is by running a pre-mortem. In a pre-mortem, we assume that the transformation had already failed and walk backward from there to investigate what led to the failure.

Taking Control of Confusing Cloud Costs
As cloud adoption accelerates, it’s increasingly important that organisations are able to come to grips with confusing cloud pricing and take back control of budgets to optimise spending. This article looks at the source of confusion, and how to get more clarity about costs.
