Containers, Service Mesh and API Gateways: It Starts at the Edge

June 19, 2018 by Daniel Bryant 1 Comments

Anyone embracing container technology such as Docker or Kubernetes has no doubt heard about the associated next big thing: service mesh, which promises to homogenize internal network communication between microservices and provide cross-cutting nonfunctional concerns such as observability and fault-tolerance.

Microservicin’ ain’t easy, but it’s necessary. Breaking your monolith down into microservices is a must in a cloud-native world, but it doesn’t automatically make everything easier. Some things actually become more difficult. An obvious area where it adds complexity is communications between services; visibility into service to service communications can be hard to achieve, but […]

DevOps and cloud computing are not mutually exclusive, though their relationship has often been uncertain and confusing from a layman’s perspective. While cloud computing relates to technology and services, DevOps is more about processes and process improvement. However, both DevOps and cloud computing are vital in every organization’s journey toward an effective digital transformation. Cloud-centric […]

Building a Solid Foundation for Microservices Security

March 27, 2018 by Horacio Duran 1 Comments

It’s often true that threats evolve faster than development practices and technologies can keep up with, which can be seen in the current microservices approach to application development. While microservices bring clear benefits to developers by enabling application deployment via modular, independently deployable services, they also open the door to new security vulnerabilities. Consequently, these […]
