Backend FinOps: Engineering Cost-Efficient Microservices in the Cloud
Backend FinOps integrates financial discipline into microservices, crucial for cutting cloud costs. Challenges such as resource fragmentation and cold starts underscore the need for intelligent design, effective language choice, robust tagging, and automation. Implementing FinOps via IaC, CI/CD checks, and dynamic autoscaling (e.g., Karpenter) ensures sustained efficiency.

How to Sustain Quality and Velocity in a JavaScript or TypeScript Project?
The JavaScript language and its ever-changing ecosystem of packages and practices can make codebases quickly become hard to maintain. The resulting loss of development velocity and/or code quality can be prevented without rewriting everything from scratch, nor pausing the development of new features. In this article, we have analyzed a few best practices to help avoid that.

Why Team-Level Metrics Matter in Software Engineering
In a world where everything can have perspective, context and data, it doesn’t make sense to limit that to just part of your software development process. The DORA metrics can provide insight into the health of your development environment, where value is being delivered and opportunities for improvement. Metrics must be used with careful insight to separate the signal from the noise.
