Welcome to this special edition of The InfoQ eMag, which contains a comprehensive collection of our popular InfoQ Trends Reports from 2024. Our reports have delved into the latest advancements, challenges, and future directions. We have aimed to provide insight into cell-based architectures, working within socio-technical systems, large and small language models (LLMs and SLMs), and the state-of-the-art within the Java ecosystem.

Architects need to separate AI hype from real software. Design systems based on tangible components such as LLMs, not a vague vision of AI.

I had great fun at the recent Fast Flow Conference. This conference focuses on the approach and methodologies described in Team Topologies by Matthew Skelton and Manuel Pais, and it brings together an eclectic mix of folks from platform engineering, product management, engineering management, business analysis, agile coaching, and more. The presentations were amazing, and all our chats at the booth and around the venue were super interesting.

In a recent fireside chat, I delved into the intriguing convergence of Terraform and Backstage, two pivotal technologies reshaping the landscape of platform engineering. This session was particularly exciting as I had a special guest, Seve Kim, a product manager from Backstage, joining Abby Bangser and me! Although the chat only lasted 30 minutes, we covered much ground.
