While it's easy to get started with containers, best practices (as usual) require more forethought and planning. In this post, Scott McCarty and Ben Breard share their experience and wisdom to smooth your move into the world of containers.
Modernizing a monolithic application by introducing microservices has some significant risks. Red Hat's Christian Posta shares his experiences helping customers move to microservices, providing lots of practical advice and insight along the way.
Red Hat Senior Architects Marius Bogoevici and Christian Posta recently presented an overview of event-driven architecture, taking the audience from the basics of enterprise integration to microservices and serverless computing.
Serverless computing (often called Functions as a Service, or FaaS) is one of the hottest emerging technologies today. The OpenWhisk project, currently in incubation at Apache, is an open-source implementation of serverless that lets you create functions that are invoked in response to events.
OpenShift.io is a cloud native set of zero-install tools for editing and debugging code, agile planning, and managing CI/CD pipelines. Installing and configuring developer tools is a major time sink; OpenShift.io takes that task out of the picture.
Senior Director Stephanos Bacon discussed the changing developer landscape and the factors that influence it. As cloud computing becomes ubiquitous and serverless continues to grow, more changes are in store.
You're in an IT department. How does the rest of the organization see you? As a valuable asset whose code and APIs make a difference in the marketplace, or as a necessary evil that should be trimmed wherever possible? Containers, microservices, and serverless computing can get you where you need to go.
