Tech Talk on Microservices at SquareboatSquareboat
This document discusses moving from monolithic application architecture to microservices architecture. It describes how monoliths can be broken into modules and services using a service-oriented architecture (SOA) approach. SOA provides benefits like improved scalability, decoupling, and independent development and deployment of components. When implementing microservices specifically, each service should have its own data store rather than sharing data. Examples given include separate services for cart management, product data, and stock management that communicate via protocols like REST. The definition of "coarse" and "fine" grained services can vary by organization and project.

Intents represent the requests a skill can handle and optionally have argument slots. A dialog model identifies the information a skill requires and prompts Alexa can use to collect it through a multi-turn conversation. Developers build custom skills by setting them up in the developer console, building the interaction model, coding and deploying an AWS Lambda endpoint service, optionally testing in beta, and submitting for certification.

Microsoft Build 2025 takeaways in one presentationDigitalmara
Microsoft Build 2025 introduced significant updates. Everything revolves around AI. DigitalMara analyzed these announcements:
• AI enhancements for Windows 11
By embedding AI capabilities directly into the OS, Microsoft is lowering the barrier for users to benefit from intelligent automation without requiring third-party tools. It's a practical step toward improving user experience, such as streamlining workflows and enhancing productivity. However, attention should be paid to data privacy, user control, and transparency of AI behavior. The implementation policy should be clear and ethical.
• GitHub Copilot coding agent
The introduction of coding agents is a meaningful step in everyday AI assistance. However, it still brings challenges. Some people compare agents with junior developers. They noted that while the agent can handle certain tasks, it often requires supervision and can introduce new issues. This innovation holds both potential and limitations. Balancing automation with human oversight is crucial to ensure quality and reliability.
• Introduction of Natural Language Web
NLWeb is a significant step toward a more natural and intuitive web experience. It can help users access content more easily and reduce reliance on traditional navigation. The open-source foundation provides developers with the flexibility to implement AI-driven interactions without rebuilding their existing platforms. NLWeb is a promising level of web interaction that complements, rather than replaces, well-designed UI.
• Introduction of Model Context Protocol
MCP provides a standardized method for connecting AI models with diverse tools and data sources. This approach simplifies the development of AI-driven applications, enhancing efficiency and scalability. Its open-source nature encourages broader adoption and collaboration within the developer community. Nevertheless, MCP can face challenges in compatibility across vendors and security in context sharing. Clear guidelines are crucial.
• Windows Subsystem for Linux is open-sourced
It's a positive step toward greater transparency and collaboration in the developer ecosystem. The community can now contribute to its evolution, helping identify issues and expand functionality faster. However, open-source software in a core system also introduces concerns around security, code quality management, and long-term maintenance. Microsoft’s continued involvement will be key to ensuring WSL remains stable and secure.
• Azure AI Foundry platform hosts Grok 3 AI models
Adding new models is a valuable expansion of AI development resources available at Azure. This provides developers with more flexibility in choosing language models that suit a range of application sizes and needs. Hosting on Azure makes access and integration easier when using Microsoft infrastructure.

- Avoid overprovisioning with “just-in-time” scaling
- Safely operate at up to ~90% storage utilization
- Cut network costs with new compression strategies and file-based streaming
We’ll also highlight a “hidden gem” capability that lets you safely balance multiple workloads in a single cluster. To conclude, we will share the efficiency-focused capabilities on our short-term and long-term roadmaps.
