3 data engineering trends riding Kafka, Flink, and Iceberg
Re-envisioning microservices as Flink streaming applications A common way to process data is to pull it out of Kafka using a microservice, process it using the same or potentially a different microservice, and then dump it back into Kafka or another queue. However, you can use Flink paired with Kafka to do all of the […]

TypeScript 5.7 arrives with improved error reporting
Also in TypeScript 5.7 is a new compiler option, –rewriteRelativeImportExtensions. When an import path is relative and ends with a TypeScript extension (.ts, .tsx, .mts, .cts), and it is a non-declaration file, the compiler will rewrite the path to the corresponding JavaScript extension (.js, .jsx, .mjs, .cjs). This allows for writing TypeScript code that can […]

Succeeding with observability in the cloud
Complexity makes observability a necessary evil The complexity of modern cloud environments amplifies the need for robust observability. Cloud applications today are built upon microservices, RESTful APIs, and containers, often spanning multicloud and hybrid architectures. This interconnectivity and distribution introduce layers of complexity that traditional monitoring paradigms struggle to capture. Observability addresses this by utilizing […]
