Middleware Trends in Modern Architectures
Middleware Trends in Modern Architectures Middleware remains the quiet backbone of modern software, connecting front ends to services, data, and devices. As architectures evolve, middleware choices shape speed, resilience, and security. Today, teams favor lighter, polyglot stacks that can adapt to both cloud and edge environments. Service meshes are a key trend. By running sidecar proxies, they manage traffic, automate mTLS, and enforce policies without changing application code. This simplifies service-to-service communication, enables canary releases, and supports circuit breakers. For many teams, the payoff comes in predictable latency and easier rollback when things go wrong. ...
