How Development Teams Can Orchestrate Their Workflow with Pipelines as Code
Infrastructure as Code was just the beginning. Configuration as Code followed shortly after – again becoming extremely commonplace and enabling organisations to scale their engineering capacity by a number of times. And in order to continuously increase the value development teams generate, Pipelines as Code is the natural consequence.

How to Introduce Innovation into the DNA of 21st Century Companies
An innovation mindset is about the tiny little improvements any employee can do; hundreds of simple, low-cost- no-effort activities are in plain sight just waiting for somebody to deploy them. This article provides guidelines that can support you in changing the attitude of employees in your organization providing trust, time, space, teams, a second operating system, MVPs, and co-creation.

The Parity Problem: Ensuring Mobile Apps are Secure across Platforms
The problem of security parity is a big one, but it’s part of a larger problem: a general lack of security in mobile apps. By embracing automation for security implementation to the same or greater degree than it has been adopted for feature development, developers can ensure that every app they release for every platform will be protected from hackers, fraudsters, and cybercriminals.

API Friction Complicates Hunting for Cloud Vulnerabilities. SQL Makes it Simple
APIs can tell you everything about your cloud infrastructure, but they're hard to use and work in different ways. What if you could write simple SQL queries that call APIs for you and put results into a database? Steampipe, an open-source project that maps APIs to Postgres foreign tables, makes that dream come true. It's hard enough to reason over data. Acquiring it should be easy, and now it is.

Kafka Streams and Quarkus: Real-Time Processing Events
Consuming Kafka messages is simple; you get them as long as they are produced, but nothing more. But if you need real-time processing of the data (filtering, joining, or manipulating events), just using the Kafka-consuming API might not be the best approach as the resulting code becomes complex. Kafka Streams and Quarkus are the perfect matches to start processing Kafka events in real-time.

It’s Time to Start Growing No-Code Developers
It’s time to start training and promoting people to be “business application no-code developers.” Why? Because everyone who manages a system is now a “developer,” whether they were trained that way or not. And if you don’t do this, your company will run into insurmountable problems when scaling its systems. Read this advice from a CTO on how your org can catch up.

Using GraphQL and Ballerina with Multiple Data Sources
The Ballerina programming language is well-suited to developing GraphQL applications, due to the network abstractions, network-aware type system, clear data representations, and visual diagrams. This article discusses the benefits of GraphQL and Ballerina, and walks through a sample application that retrieves data from a database and a 3rd-party API.

The Compounding (Business) Value of Composable Ecosystems
Being “free” and open source doesn’t hinder the value of these projects to businesses and end users; rather it unlocks it. The composability of open source ecosystems allows the innovation and value of the whole ecosystem to compound on itself.

Smashing Silos: Scaling up an Energy Tech Disrupter Remotely
Being a small EnTech disruptor in a rapidly evolving market can feel a bit daunting; add in an acquisition, a rebrand and twice the team members that you had a year ago and you have a recipe for growing pains. Here is how we leaned on our strengths and pulled experience from all directions to allow for team member fulfilment during a breakneck growth spurt.

Analyzing Incident Data across Organizations: Courtney Nash on the VOID
The Verica Open Incident Database (VOID) is assembling publically available software-related incident reports. InfoQ talks with Courtney Nash on their recent findings including how MTT* metrics may not be beneficial, the average time to incident resolution, and the importance of studying near-miss reports.

Establishing a Scalable SRE Infrastructure Using Standardization and Short Feedback Loops
This article explores an SRE implementation where the operations team builds and runs the SRE infrastructure and the development teams build and run the services leveraging the SRE infrastructure. This SRE solution enables the software delivery organization to scale the number of services in operation without linearly scaling the number of people required to operate the services.
