Author: Sam Ramji We often think that modern computing is divided between code and data. Functionally, this makes sense as we look at any given app. But when we look at a standard microservices architecture, the breadth and depth of the code itself is more than a few files of…

Author: Mary Grygleski Today, even the most basic web and mobile applications consume a lot of data. The key to exchanging and acting on this data is a messaging system backed by an event-driven architecture. An event-driven system enables messaging solutions and processing to be scalable and asynchronous. …

Author: Pieter Humphrey Today’s blockchain implementations are too costly and slow to function as generalized Web3 computing platforms. Successful systems are using real-time, off-chain data to find market fit. Web3 is in a tricky spot today, and not just because of high-profile bad actors casting an overlong shadow on the…
