Istio and the Future of Service Meshes
A service mesh provides a transparent and language-independent way to flexibly and easily automate networking, security, and observation functions. This article examines the past, present and future of the Istio service mesh. The near-term goal is to launch Istio to 1.0, when the key features will all be in beta, including support for Hybrid environments.

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.

Managing Data in Microservices
This article provides practical examples of how to manage data in microservices, with an emphasis on migrating from a monolithic database. It is recommended to build a monolith first, and only migrate to microservices after you actually require the scaling and other benefits they provide.

Virtual Panel: Microservices Interaction and Governance Model - Orchestration v Choreography
The recent trend in application architectures is to transition from monolithic applications to a microservices model. This transition without a good service interaction model will most likely result in chaos and a service landscape that's hard to govern and maintain. InfoQ spoke with domain experts on this topic and compiled their responses in this virtual panel article
