Adoption of Cloud Native Architecture, Part 3: Service Orchestration and Service Mesh
This part 3 article in Cloud Native Architecture Adoption series, explores service interaction in a microservices based architecture, typical challenges we experience in distributed systems without proper governance, and how patterns like service orchestration and service mesh can help address those challenges.

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.

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

The Container Landscape: Docker Alternatives, Orchestration, and Implications for Microservices
The orchestration of containers is key for success, and various technologies are competing for market share. This article examines the current tooling and how this relates to deploying microservices. A key takeaway is that developers should create business logic of their microservices using a vendor -and platform- agnostic approach.

No Callbacks Required: StratifiedJS Returns Sequential Programming to Javascript
StratifiedJS is a superset of Javascript that adds concurrency constructs and makes callback hell a thing of the past. How? InfoQ talked to Alexander Fritze, of Onilabs, to find out.

Orchestrating Long Running Activities with JBoss / JBPM
Orchestrating activities that extend over very long periods (hours, days, weeks) is a common design issue. Although technically BPM engines are specifically design to ideal with this issue, they do so with standalone processes with corresponding issues arising from callback mechanisms. This article we will show one of the approaches to use JBoss jBPM for solving this problem.

Using JBoss ESB and JBPM for Implementing VMS Solutions
In a new article, Boris Lublinsky discusses how the JBoss middleware platform, specifically JBoss ESB and jBPM (JBoss Business Process Management) can be used to integrate both internal and third-party services to deliver composite services and content in customer-specific forms, including Web services, WAP, portals, and more.

Workflow Orchestration Using Spring AOP and AspectJ
This article demonstrates how to build and orchestrate highly configurable and extensible yet light-weight embedded process flow using Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) techniques. The current examples are based on Spring AOP and Aspect J, however other AOP techniques could be used to accomplish the same results.

Choosing between Routing and Orchestration in an ESB
In this article, Adrien Louis and Marc Dutoo discuss the differences and relative merits of using orchestration vs. routing in a typical ESB setup. They discuss various approaches to connecting services, from low level ones like customized routing, to high-level ones using business oriented approaches like workflow and orchestration, and conclude that there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
