In modern distributed computing systems, messaging has become an essential way of enabling different applications and systems to communicate with each other in a microservice architecture. Message queues and message brokers are two popular technologies used in messaging systems, but many people confuse or use the two terms interchangeably. In this article, we will explore the key differences between message queues and message brokers and provide an understanding of when and why you would use one

For cities, counties, and states that use geographic information system (GIS) apps such as ArcGIS to drive mission critical services, application resilience is essential. With so much at risk during an emergency, ensuring performance apps don’t lag or crash when they’re most needed is vital. Advanced observability can eliminate blind spots surrounding application performance, health, and behavior for these critical applications and the infrastructure that supports them.

This project is difficult, y’know, because it’s like we’re rebuilding the plane while it’s in flight. For those who’ve spent any time in tech, you’ve likely heard this phrase. It usually refers a project that seeks to update (or, more often, completely replace) a business-critical, “legacy” piece of software or infrastructure, but with the added challenge of doing so without disrupting whatever’s in production (and, more importantly, its ability to generate revenue).

There are many common mistakes I’ve seen repeated over the years while trying to make observability initiatives successful. However, the most critical and fundamental of these organizational stumbles is the irresistible infatuation with technology and toolings themselves. It should not come as a surprise. Many "let’s add observability platform X" projects start off with plenty of fanfare but also a very hazy sense of direction and extremely muddled criteria for success.

It makes sense for DevOps engineers and architects to perform canary deployments in their CI/CD workflows. They cannot skip testing a release for the sake of adhering to continuous delivery practices, can they? In canary deployments, the new version, called canary, is tested with limited live traffic at first. Ops teams and SREs then observe and analyze the performance and customer experience of the canary, before gradually rolling it out for the larger audience in case of no issues.

I’m a big fan of monolithic architecture. Writing code is hard enough without each function call requiring a network request, and that’s before considering the investment in observability, RPC frameworks, and dev environments you need to be productive in a microservice environment. But having spent half a decade stewarding a Ruby monolith from 20 to 200 engineers and watched its modest 10GB Postgres database grow beyond 5TB, there’s definitely a point where the pain outweighs the benefits.
