SPONSOR AD  This talk reframes how to manage secure access in a dev-friendly way using four principles: basing decisions on identity, making it easy to use, not trusting networks, and centralizing logging, with a practical application for SSH at the end. Live Webinar, December 10th, 2020 - Save Your Seat. |
 Creating a successful chaos practice isn’t purely an engineering problem. As with many aspects of cloud native computing it requires buy-in across the organisation. Whilst many large organisations have seen considerable success with chaos, many others are yet to apply it, and may be unsure how to get started. In this eMag, we’ve pulled together a variety of case studies to show mechanisms by which you can do so, even in tightly regulated industries where you might face considerable opposition. (eMag) |

 Modern systems are more complex to monitor as they tend to emit large amounts of high cardinality data. Recent innovations in open-source time series databases have improved the scalability of newer monitoring tools such as Prometheus. These solutions are able to handle the high scale of data while providing metric scraping, querying, and visualization based on Prometheus and Grafana. (Article) |
 The panelists discuss observability, security, the software supply chain, CI/CD, chaos engineering, deployment techniques, canaries, and blue-green deployments all in the pursuit of production resiliency. (Presentation with transcript included)

 WebAssembly can be used server-side to provide the performance required by use cases such as blockchains and edge AI services. Non-standard extensions may address those use cases today, possibly weakening WebAssembly portability benefits. The gathered experience may however provide important inputs to current and future WebAssembly proposals. (Article) |

| In part two of our .NET 5 coverage, we take a look back at historic .NET technologies that never made the jump to .NET Core. What’s interesting about these technologies is their APIs were copied across, hinting that Microsoft was considering a .NET Core implementation of them in the future. (News) |

| Inertia.js allows developers to write single-page applications using classic server-side routing and controllers. Inertia tightly couples the backend to the frontend so developers need not write APIs. Developers can use battle-tested server-side frameworks (e.g., Laravel, Ruby on Rails, Django, AspNetCore). On the client, developers can use React, Svelte, or Vue to implement the user interface. (News) |
