What Have We Learned Over the Last Decade of Microservices?
This episode is a panel discussion from the microservices track QCon Plus, held in May 2021. Track host Nicki Watt asks "What have we learned over the last decade of microservices." The panelists included Chris Richardson, James Lewis, and Katie Gamanji. The discussion started with looking at how the meaning of "microservices architecture" has evolved over the past ten years. There were some great insights about how successfully developing, deploying, and maintaining software depends as much or more on cultural and environmental factors, than simply adopting microservices and all the tools and technology that now exist.

Michael Perry on Immutable Architecture, CAP Theorem, and CRDTs
In this episode of the InfoQ podcast Charles Humble talks to Michael Perry about his book “The Art of Immutable Architecture”. They discuss topics including the eight fallacies of distributed computing: a set of assertions made by L Peter Deutsch and others at Sun Microsystems describing false assumptions that programmers new to distributed applications invariably make. Other topics include Pat Helland’s paper “Immutability Changes Everything”, Eric Brewer's CAP Theorem, eventual consistency, location independent identity, and CRDTs. They also discuss how the approach to building distributed systems advocated by Perry could be introduced to a real-world enterprise app that needs to integrate with mutable downstream systems.

Fran Méndez on AsyncAPI
On this episode of the podcast, Fran Mendez, founder of the AsyncAPI Initiative spoke with co-host Thomas Betts. AsyncAPI is a specification and growing set of tools to help developers define asynchronous APIs, and build and maintain event-driven architectures. AsyncAPI hopes to provide features and benefits to those of OpenAPI (fka Swagger) for RESTful APIs. The specification and all tooling are community-driven and fully open source.

Martin Mao on Observability, focusing on Alerting, Triage, & RCA
Observability is a crucial aspect of operating Microservices at scale today.
Today on the InfoQ podcast, Wes Reisz speaks with Chronosphere’s CEO Martin Mao about how he thinks about observability. Specifically, the two discuss Chronosphere’s strategy for implementing a successful observability program. Starting with alerting, Martin discusses how metrics (usually things like RED metrics or Google’s Four Golden Signals) are tools to aggregate counts and let operators know when things are moving towards an incident. In stage two of this approach, operators begin to isolate and triage what’s happening in an effort to provide a quick system restoration. Finally, Martin talks about root cause analysis (RCA) in the final stage as a way of preventing what happened from happening again. Martin uses this three stage approach (and the questions that should be asked in each of these stages) as a way of focusing on what’s important (or reducing things like Mean Time to Recovery) in a modern cloud native architecture.
Observability is the ability to understand the state of a system by observing its outputs, on today’s podcast we talk about a strategy for implementing a meaning observability program.

Chris Richardson on Design-Time Coupling in Microservices
In this episode of the InfoQ Podcast, Thomas Betts speaks with Chris Richardson about minimizing design-time coupling in a microservice architecture. Chris begins by defining design-time coupling, and contrasts it with runtime coupling. We then discuss some of the problems that arise from design-time coupling, anti-patterns and symptoms that are warning signs of high coupling, and the trade-offs that architects need to consider in their designs.

John DesJardins on Continuous Intelligence and In-Memory Computing
In this podcast, John DesJardin, Chief Technology Officer at Hazelcast, met with InfoQ podcast co-host Thomas Betts to discuss the idea of continuous intelligence. This is a paradigm shift from traditional business intelligence, and relies on a corresponding move from batch-based ETL and reporting to continuous processing of streaming data. Although the languages being used, such as Python and SQL, will be familiar, developers must pay special attention to the characteristics of time-series data, especially in near-real-time scenarios. We cover the current state of the tools and technologies in use, why companies are adopting continuous intelligence to remain competitive, and we even get a bit into what the future of data processing and analysis will look like.
