We can’t believe it’s last day of July! ☀️We hope you had some time to relax over the weekend and are ready to dive in this week. In today’s digest we discuss microservices and AI.
Microservices may not always be the right answer
Split your application too much, or too quickly, and your deployment becomes way more complex by default than it needs to be.
Investing in internal developer platforms like Backstage? Keep self-service in mind
Think of your developers as “customers”
Plan automated tests to maintain quality
Make sure your team is enabled by thinking ahead of documentation and deployment guides.
Generative AI models are becoming popular for coding assistance
It’s worth understanding their limitations and how to work effectively with them
