The Fundamental Truth behind Successful Development Practices: Software is Synthetic
Software systems are creative compounds, emergent and generative; the product of complex interactions between people and technology. They are different from the orderly, analytic worlds that our school-age selves expect to find. Being so full of complexity and uncertainty, we use a different way to arrive at a solution.

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.

Sustainable Operations in Complex Systems with Production Excellence
Successful long-term approaches to production ownership and DevOps require cultural change in the form of production excellence. Teams are more sustainable if they have well-defined measurements of reliability, the capability to debug new problems, a culture that fosters spreading knowledge, and a proactive approach to mitigating risk.

Observability-Driven Development for Tackling the Great Unknown
How does observability-driven development differ from monitoring? As our distributed systems become increasingly more complicated and as our silos break down for DevOps testing, automation, and efficiency, ODD arises as a superset of monitoring to understand your code’s unknown unknowns. Includes insights from Honeycomb Founder Charity Majors.

Microservices in a Post-Kubernetes Era
How are microservices standing in the Kubernetes era? The microservice architecture is still the most popular architectural style for distributed systems. But Kubernetes and the cloud-native movement have redefined certain aspects of application design and development at scale.

Istio and the Future of Service Meshes
A service mesh provides a transparent and language-independent way to flexibly and easily automate networking, security, and observation functions. This article examines the past, present and future of the Istio service mesh. The near-term goal is to launch Istio to 1.0, when the key features will all be in beta, including support for Hybrid environments.
