Transforming Legacy Healthcare Systems: A Journey to Cloud-Native Architecture
Discover how Livi navigated the complexities of transitioning MJog, a legacy healthcare system, to a cloud-native architecture, sharing valuable insights for successful tech modernization. Our experience illustrates that transitioning from legacy systems to cloud-based microservices is not a one-time project but an ongoing journey.

Are You Done Yet? Mastering Long-Running Processes in Modern Architectures
In this article, Bernd Ruecker explores the importance of long-running processes in various applications, particularly in distributed systems. He emphasizes the value of asynchronous communication and explores strategies like Centers of Excellence, along with visual tools like BPMN for enhancing communication and understanding. The contents of this article were presented during QCon London 2024.

Orchestrating Resilience Building Modern Asynchronous Systems
In this article, we will discuss what problems we had to solve at Twilio to efficiently build a resilient and scalable asynchronous system to handle a complex workflow and the advantages we got from adopting a Workflow Orchestration solution, including abstracting away state management and out-of-the-box support for retries, observability, and audibility.

Debugging outside Your Comfort Zone: Diving beneath a Trusted Abstraction
This article takes a deep dive through a complex outage in the main database cluster of a payments company. We’ll focus on the aftermath of the incident - the process of understanding what went wrong, recreating the outage in a test cluster, and coming up with a way to stop it from happening again, and dive deep into the internals of Postgres, and learn about how it stores data on disk.

Events, Flows and Long-Running Services: A Modern Approach to Workflow Automation
Recent discussions around the microservice architectural style has promoted the idea that “to effectively decouple your services you have to create an event-driven-architecture”. Although events can decrease coupling, we must avoid the mistakes of traditional SOA: centralised control should to be avoided, and workflow engines must be less painful to use and operate.

Virtual Panel: Microservices Interaction and Governance Model - Orchestration v Choreography
The recent trend in application architectures is to transition from monolithic applications to a microservices model. This transition without a good service interaction model will most likely result in chaos and a service landscape that's hard to govern and maintain. InfoQ spoke with domain experts on this topic and compiled their responses in this virtual panel article

The Container Landscape: Docker Alternatives, Orchestration, and Implications for Microservices
The orchestration of containers is key for success, and various technologies are competing for market share. This article examines the current tooling and how this relates to deploying microservices. A key takeaway is that developers should create business logic of their microservices using a vendor -and platform- agnostic approach.
