  • Microservices in a Post-Kubernetes Era

    How are microservices standing in the Kubernetes era? The microservice architecture is still the most popular architectural style for distributed systems. But Kubernetes and the cloud-native movement have redefined certain aspects of application design and development at scale.

  • The State of Java Serialization

    Java’s Serialization feature has garnered several years' worth of security exploits and zero day attacks. This article discusses the current state of the technology and what can be done, both now and in the future, to protect against serialization flaws.

  • DDD With TLC

    At the 2017 Explore DDD conference, Julie Lerman, a self-described Serial DDD Advocate, spoke about how to approach Domain-Driven Design with Tender Loving Care. InfoQ sat down with Lerman to ask about how she introduces DDD to new clients, and helps them be successful.

  • Build a MySQL Spring Boot App Running on WildFly on an Azure VM

    How to build a demo site that runs on the WildFly application platform and connects to a MySQL database in the cloud, on Microsoft Azure. The premise seems simple, but the implementation can be tricky, and there is limited documentation on how to set something like this up.

  • The Argument for WCF Hosting in .NET Core

    Should WCF Hosting be Supported in .NET Core? To a lot of people this seems like a strange question; the answer is obviously... yes? no? Well actually it is quite contentious with people on both sides of the issue fiercely arguing for their position. We’ll try to unpack the debate and explain the arguments on both sides.

  • How to Choose a Stream Processor for Your App

    Choosing a stream processor for your app can be challenging with many options to choose from. The best choice depends on individual use cases. In this article, the authors discuss a stream processor reference architecture, key features required by most streaming applications and optional features that can be selected based on specific use cases.

  • Testing Programmable Infrastructure - a Year On

    Programmable infrastructure is becoming widespread. There are very specific domain issues that make testing it tricky. This article looks at the evolution of tooling and approaches used to address it.

  • Deep Dive into JUnit 5 Extension Model

    JUnit 5 is a modular and extensible testing framework with support for Java 8 and higher. The Jupiter extension model can be used to add custom features. This is explained by building out a simple set of extensions that support the BDD approach to testing with full code examples.

  • Increasing Security with a Service Mesh: Christian Posta Explores the Capabilities of Istio

    Istio attempts to solve some particularly difficult challenges when running applications in a cloud platform: application networking, reliability, and observability and (the focus of this article) security. With Istio, communication between services in the mesh is secure and encrypted by default. Istio can also help with "origin" or "end-user" JWT identity token verification.

  • Envoy Service Mesh Case Study: Mitigating Cascading Failure at Lyft

    Over the past four years, Lyft has transitioned from a monolithic architecture to hundreds of microservices. As the number of microservices grew, so did the number of outages due to cascading failure or accidental internal denial of service. Today, these failure scenarios are largely a solved problem within the Lyft infrastructure due to the use of the Envoy Proxy as a service mesh.

  • The Cloud Native QA

    The advent and widespread adoption of the cloud ecosystem presents a new challenge to the modern-day QA. What does it mean to be QA in a Cloud Native software business?

  • Evaluating Hyperledger Composer

    Hyperledger Composer is a new open source project which makes it easy for developers to write chaincode for Hyperledger Fabric and the decentralized applications (DApps) that can call them. This article summarizes a technical evaluation of the performance characteristics of using Composer in a test application.
