Q&A with Tyler Treat on Microservice Observability
Tyler Treat attempts to disambiguate the concepts of Observability and Monitoring. He discusses how the complexity of elastic systems produces more unknowns that require a discovery-based approach. InfoQ recently sat down with Treat to discuss the topics of observability and monitoring, and he shares some challenges and best practices when introducing observability concepts.

A First Look at Java Inline Classes
Java currently supports only two types of value: primitives and object references. Project Valhalla extends this by introducing inline classes which are a new form of type that exhibit some behaviors of both. These new types open the door to better alignment with modern CPUs and considerable potential performance improvements for Java applications.

How We Reduced Our React App’s Load Time by 60%
React handles UI updates efficiently but it does not magically make your web app faster. As our application grew in size, we started noticing some drawbacks of our setup. Although we knew how React worked and how Redux manages state, our application had bloated in size. We started seeing application crashes and jank. It was time to drive down the technical debt and make performance improvements!
