Editor's note
I pulled together a pretty varied lineup this time: architecture, web APIs, tooling, cloud, mobile, and a little security. The modular monolith and API versioning pieces are especially practical if you’re trying to keep systems evolvable without overengineering. I also liked the Visual Studio Hub and Dev Containers posts because they’re the kind of workflow improvements that pay off every day.
