In the Cloud Native Wasm day event at KubeCon NA 2022, Docker announced Docker+Wasm technical preview in partnership with CNCF’s Wasm runtime WasmEdge. With a single command, docker compose up, Docker developers can instantly build, share, and run a complete Wasm application.

In case you haven’t figured it out yet, if you are not one of the hyperscalers or one of the biggest cloud builders, then you are a second class citizen,
Observability has been tackling the complex problem of managing a huge volume of data. Still, we also need to remain laser-focused on making data actionable.
The Linux security module (LSM) mechanism was created as a result of the first Kernel Summit in 2001; it was
designed to allow the development of multiple approaches to Linux security.
That goal has been met; there are several security modules available with
current kernels. The LSM subsystem was not designed, though, to allow
multiple security modules to work together on the same system. Developers
have been working to rectify that problem almost since the LSM subsystem
was merged, but with limited success; some small security modules can be
stacked on top of the "major" ones, but arbitrary stacking is not possible.
Now, a full 20 years after
security-module support went into the 2.5 development kernel series, it
looks like a solution to the stacking problem may finally be getting
closer.
Hub and Spoke: A Better Way to Architect Your Tech Stack
The hub-and-spoke approach to architecting the technology stack combines the stability of a monolithic platform with the agility of microservices so that you can benefit from new capabilities and software innovation.
At the recently concluded Netdev
0x16 conference, which was held both in Lisbon, Portugal and virtually,
Stanford professor John Ousterhout gave his personal views on where
networking in data centers needs to be headed. To solve the problems that
he sees, he suggested some "fairly significant changes" to those
environments, including leaving behind the venerable—ubiquitous—TCP
transport protocol. While LWN was unable to attend the conference itself,
due to scheduling and time-zone conflicts, we were able to view the video of
Ousterhout's keynote talk to bring you this report.

Data good practices: If it ain’t computable, it’s a string….
Choosing the right data type for a dataset variable, database fields, data model element, or API property can make a huge difference in terms of usability and quality. A mistake that I have commonly seen made over the many years of working with data is the use of numeric variables for things that are not computable. The most typical case is with categorical variables codes, but other examples includes identifiers, accounts numbers, postal codes, and the likes. If something looks like a number, we have a human tendency to assume it should be stored as a number. This is often not necessary and unfortunately can have significant side effects or loss of information.
One of the things I like to do on this blog is write about new research that has a practical angle. Most of the time (I swear) this involves writing about other folks’ research: it’s no…

Ever since I started to work on the Apache APISIX project, I’ve been trying to improve my knowledge and understanding of REST RESTful HTTP APIs. For this, I’m reading and watching the following sources: Books. At the moment, I’m finishing API Design Patterns. Expect a review soon.YouTube. I’d recommend ErikWilde' channel. While some videos are better than others, they all focus on APIs.IETF RFCs. Most RFCs are not about APIs, but a friendly person compiled a list of the o
