Cell-Based Architecture Adoption Guidelines
The challenges in building modern, reliable, and understandable distributed systems continue to grow, and cell-based architecture is a valuable way to accept, isolate, and stay reliable in the face of failures. Organizations must ensure that the cell-based architecture is the right fit for them and that the migration will not cause more problems than it solves.

Taking Advantage of Cell-Based Architectures to Build Resilient and Fault-Tolerant Systems
Cell-based architectures offer a robust approach to building resilient systems. They achieve this through the core principles of isolation, autonomy, and replication. Each cell manages its resources and makes decisions autonomously. Observability for cell-based architecture requires a tailored approach to address the unique challenges and opportunities presented by this distributed system design.

Architecting for High Availability in the Cloud with Cellular Architecture
Cellular architecture is a design pattern that helps achieve high availability in multi-tenant applications. The goal is to design your application so that you can deploy all of its components into an isolated "cell" that is fully self-sufficient. It can benefit your customers regarding availability and ensure you hit your SLAs.

Zero-Knowledge Proofs for the Layman
This article will introduce you to zero-knowledge proofs, a kind of cryptography you can use to provide the proof you know a secret, such as a private key or the solution to a problem, without ever sharing it to an interested party. While many articles exist on the topic, this will not require any high math knowledge.
