Revisiting the Outbox Pattern
The outbox pattern remains a popular solution for reliable data exchange between microservices, allowing services to update local data and send notifications via platforms like Kafka.

What if Kubernetes Was a Compiler Target? 
Multi-tier programming allows developers to build multiple layers of a distributed application within a single program, which can then be compiled into independently-deployable units. The talk explores how this concept could be applied to Kubernetes development, presenting a prototype "Kubernetes compiler" that transforms monolithic code into distributed applications running on Kubernetes.

MicroServices For Better And Worse
What have we learned from more than a decade of deploying microservices? Was it a good idea? Are we any better at figuring out what a microservice is, or where its boundaries lie? Does splitting things up create fragmentation problems? And is it too late to put the genie back in the bottle? This week we’re going to look at all these questions and more as we reflect on the lessons learnt from this big architectural idea.
