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.

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.

Unleash the Power of Open Source Java Profilers: Comparing VisualVM, JMC, and async-profiler
This article conveys the foundational concepts and different types of Open Source Java profilers. It allows you to choose the best-suited profiler for your needs and comprehend how these tools work in principle. The aim of a profiler is to obtain information on the program execution so that a developer can see how much time a method executed in a given period.
