Adoption of Cloud Native Architecture, Part 2: Stabilization Gaps and Anti-Patterns
In this second part of cloud native adoption article series, the authors discuss the anti-patterns to watch out for when using microservices architecture in your applications. They also discuss how to balance between architecture and technology stability by not reinventing the wheel in every new application and at the same time, avoiding arbitrary reuse of technologies.

The Past, Present, and Future of API Gateways
The edge has evolved from simple hardware load balancers to a full stack of hardware and software proxies that comprise API Gateways, content delivery networks, and load balancers. In this article, we’ll trace the evolution of the data center edge as application architecture and workflows have evolved.

Data Gateways in the Cloud Native Era
Data Gateways act like API Gateways but focus on access to the data aspect. A Data Gateway offers abstractions, security, scaling, federation, and contract-driven development features. There are many types of Data Gateways, from the traditional data virtualization technologies, to light GraphQL translators, cloud-hosted services, connection pools, and fully open source alternatives.

Is Edge Computing a Thing?
Edge Computing is definitely a thing, but the computing need not occur at the edge. Instead what is needed is an ability to compute (anywhere) on streaming data from large numbers of dynamically changing devices, in the edge environment. This in turn demands an architectural pattern for stateful, distributed computing.

Graph Knowledge Base for Stateful Cloud-Native Applications
The lack of support for stateful cloud-native application behavior is a roadblock to many cloud use-cases. This article looks at graph knowledge-based systems which offer one approach to the design of next-generation platforms.

Multi-Runtime Microservices Architecture
Best practices have emerged around “microservice” architecture and “12-factor app” design. As cloud, containers, and container orchestrators (.g. Kubernetes) have become popular, new solutions to address common integration principles have emerged. This article discusses the approach of using "mecha" components to provide enterprise integration pattern functionality for microservices.

Service Mesh Ultimate Guide 2020: Managing Service-to-Service Communications
This online guide aims to answer pertinent questions for software architects and technical leaders, such as: what is a service mesh? Do I need a service mesh? How do I evaluate the different service mesh offerings? In software architecture, a service mesh is a dedicated infrastructure layer for facilitating service-to-service communications between microservices, often using a sidecar proxy.

Adoption of Cloud-Native Architecture, Part 1: Architecture Evolution and Maturity
In this article, authors Srini Penchikala and Marcio Esteves discuss what organizations should assess when adopting cloud native architectures for hosting their applications on cloud. It focuses on architecture hosting models. They also discuss how architecture patterns like microservices, containers, serverless, and service mesh can help with organizational adoption of cloud native solutions.
