As monolithic systems become too large to deal with, many enterprises are drawn to breaking them down into the microservices architectural style. It is a worthwhile journey, but not an easy one. My colleague Zhamak Dehghani has trod this road several times and has distilled her experiences, together with those of our other colleagues, into a brief guide to help fellow travelers on the path.

The two positions are not interchangeable—and misperceptions of their roles can hurt teams and compromise productivity. It’s important to understand the differences between a data engineer and a data scientist. Misunderstanding or not knowing these differences are making teams fail or underperform with big data. A key misunderstanding is the strengths and weaknesses of each position.

AngularJS 1.x is more stable and mature and while Angular 2+ has taken off, there are many projects still using AngularJS. It still makes sense for web developers to learn AngularJS. In a few years that may change, but for now, AngularJS 1.x is still a viable alternative to React, Angular 2+, Vue.js and Ember and other frontend web frameworks. If you’re interested in other Angular and AngularJS resources, check out the Learning AngularJS page.

SAN FRANCISCO—Security patches don’t often come wearing gold-sequined tuxedo jackets, but maybe they should. If they did, everybody from consumers to security experts might pay more attention to them, and perhaps have a better understanding of why, when a vulnerability is discovered, “just patch it” isn’t exactly the answer. That was the message of a game show-style panel here last week at the security conference BSides led by Allan Friedman, director of cybersecurity for the U.S.

Heilmeier Catechism. When George Heilmeier was the director of ARPA in the mid 1970s, he had a standard set of questions he expected every proposal for a new research program to answer. These have been called the Heilmeier Catechism. It’s a good exercise to answer these questions for an individual research project, too, both for yourself and as a way to convey to others what you hope to accomplish.

Reactive programming is a concept that is finally gaining some popularity among programmers. It makes it easier to think in data flows and to manage and work with them. Instead of imperative programming, you’re thinking about code as a series of processes that take place on streams. This is similar to the conceptual shift to map/reduce thinking.

There comes a time in the life of every Ruby on Rails project where you and your team will end up with long running tests. Rails tests can contain factories, fixtures and lots of setup procedures before tests are executed, and all of these can contribute to major slowness in the test runs.
