Data plays a vital role in conceptualizing the preliminary design for an architecture. You may want to decide the requirements for security, performance, and infrastructure to handle workload, scalability, and agility in design. In this case, you need to understand data models and how to handle architectural decisions, including data privacy and security, compliance requirements, data size to handle, and user handling requirements.

For large enterprises, where integration with different platforms is important for various business activities, enterprise integration is the most popular term for the integration architecture. Enterprise integration has evolved a lot from traditional batch processing using ETL (extract, transform, and load), where data feeds from sources were used for business processing/ transformation and loading to the target data source.

We have many options for native Kubernetes builds and deployments, like Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), AWS Elastic Kubernetes Services (EKS), and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), or third-party services like Spinnaker and Jenkins. Large enterprises rely on a cloud-first strategy for digital transformation, and choosing a cloud-agnostic architecture is ideal. In this article, we discuss some of the many options for Kubernetes distributions, so please keep in mind: this is not an exhaustive list. So let’s dive into adopting a cloud-native architecture, various K8s distributions, and selecting the right option for your use case.

Why Java Is so Young After 25 Years: An Architect’s Point of View

Java completes 25 years of programming life and remains closer to developer's minds; almost 69% of the worldwide developer community remains to code in Java, even now. Oracle recently released Java 15 with tonnes of features like Sealed Classes, Hidden Classes, Edward-Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA), Text Blocks to name a few. This makes Java 15 to be 25 years young and not 25 years old programming language.

History and Evolution of Java

When there were dozens of programming language which were very stable in the early 1990s like FORTRAN, COBOL, Pascal, C++, and Visual Basic, many platforms like Windows, Mac, Unix, Linux, and Mobile platforms demanded a unified approach in program development and architecture design. James Gosling and his friends discussed these aspects under an Oak tree near James' office where they felt a new programming language to be developed to address these gaps. They were very particular on foundational aspects in developing a new language called Oak, which was then named as Green (as the team is named as Green team) and later Java (based on their favorite coffee from Indonesia called Java Coffee).
