I get to do lots of fun things as part of my day job at ThoughtWorks. One of them is that I get to help out on the creation of the ThoughtWorks technical radar as part of my membership of our Technology Advisory Board (TAB). We put one of these out...
Several weeks ago I was in New York along with some ThoughtWorks' colleagues to put together the latest version of our Tech Radar. Every six months or so we come together to argue about technology and try and distill down some (purposely subjective...
In this week's episode, I speak to Venkat Subramaniam. Venkat seems to have the stamina of 5 normal people - whenever I start to feel sorry for myself about my own hectic schedule, I look at what Venkat is up to and realise that I have no cause to...

I recently contributed to a paper put out by ex-colleage and now CEO of HighOps, Marco Abis, entitled Service Discovery: 6 questions to 4 experts. In it, Nitesh Kant (Netflix), Jeff Lindsay (Glider Labs), Eberhard Wolff (innoQ) and I share our opinions...
This week the kind folks over at JavaRanch are giving away four copies of Building Microservices. As part of the promotion, I'll also be answering questions on microservices over in their design forum. It's only the first day and already the questions...
I've been extremely gratified that Building Microservices has found a good audience, and the feedback I've had so far has made all the work behind it very worthwhile. Ever since the book was made available in early access, barely a month or two has...
