The SOA Journey: from Understanding Business to Agile Architecture

If your monolith is tightly coupled and not cohesive, you could split it in order for a business to be more agile. There are a lot of wrong ways that you can do that. They result in the same tightly coupled and non-cohesive monolith, but which is distributed across a network. This article examines how you can align your technical services and business-capabilities.

Can People Trust the Automated Decisions Made by Algorithms?

The use of automated decision making is increasing. These algorithms can produce results that are incomprehensible, or socially undesirable. How can we determine the safety of algorithms in devices if we cannot understand them? Public fears about the inability to foresee adverse consequences has impeded technologies such as nuclear energy and genetically modified crops.

Ballerina Tutorial: A Programming Language for Integration

Ballerina is a new programming language and platform whose objective is to make it easy to create resilient services that integrate and orchestrate across distributed endpoints. Ballerina’s design principles focus on baking integration concepts into a language, including a network-aware type system, sequence diagrammatic syntax, concurrency workers, being “DevOps ready”, and environment awareness.

Coaching with Curiosity Using Clean Language and Agile

Clean Language questions are bias-free questions. They can be used to discover the underlying rules, expressed values, and coping mechanisms in organizations, and to gain clarity and promote diverse ideas in groups. Simple to learn, but tricky to implement, clean questions require transparency and sharing a bit more of one’s thinking than usual.

Holacracy for Humans

Snapper, a New Zealand based transport ticketing service provider, wanted to be more like a city, and less like a bureaucratic corporation. In 2016 they introduced Holacracy, which enables people to act more like entrepreneurs and self-direct their work instead of waiting to be told what to do. They use Holacracy across all areas of the business and this way of working applies to everyone.

Events, Flows and Long-Running Services: A Modern Approach to Workflow Automation

Recent discussions around the microservice architectural style has promoted the idea that “to effectively decouple your services you have to create an event-driven-architecture”. Although events can decrease coupling, we must avoid the mistakes of traditional SOA: centralised control should to be avoided, and workflow engines must be less painful to use and operate.

Approximate Queries on WSO2 Stream Processor: Use of Approximation Algorithms in an Applied Setting

In this article, we describe an example real world application of API monitoring which benefits from using approximate stream processing. We developed the application on top of WSO2 Stream Processor as Siddhi extension. Siddhi is the complex event processing library which acts as the event processing engine of WSO2 Stream Processor.
