By Daniel CurtisAnna Berenberg talks about One Network, Google's unified service networking overlay, which centralizes policy, simplifies operations across diverse environments, and enhances developer velocity. Learn about its open-source foundation, global traffic management, and vision for future multi-cloud and mobile integration.
By Anna BerenbergOla Hast and Asgaut Mjølne Söderbom gave a talk about continuous delivery with pair programming at QCon London. Their team uses pair and mob programming with TDD; there are no solo tasks or separate code reviews. This approach boosts code quality, reduces waste, and enables the sharing of knowledge. Frequent breaks help to maintain focus and flow.
By Ben LindersMeta has begun rewriting its mobile messaging infrastructure in Rust, gradually replacing a legacy C codebase that engineers say had become increasingly difficult to maintain and frustrating to work with.
