Low-risk Monolith to Microservice Evolution Part I

By Christian Posta

As part of a two-day microservices workshop I’m putting together, I’ve been thinking a lot about how to explain monolith-application decomposition and what a transition to microservices might look like. This is a small subset of that material, but I want to share it with you to get feedback (in the workshop we go into more detail about whether you should even break up your monolith). I base this on my own tried and true real-life experience as well as my work with the many Red Hat customers I’ve met over North America for the last few years. Part I explores the architecture while the second part (to be released shortly) will cover some technology that can greatly help in this area. Follow along (@christianposta) on Twitter or http://developers.redhat.com for the latest updates and discussion.

Connecting Kubernetes and Docker

By Nikhil Chawla

Hi, I am writing this blog to help my fellow developers who are working on “Docker” and “Kubernetes” simultaneously. Because, they know that Kubernetes runs over docker-engine but there is a twist, that:
1. Containers running on Docker, and

2. Containers running inside of a Kubernetes Pod,

are absolutely running isolated, without even knowing each other’s existence. But, we are developers, so there are chances where we might come across a situation where we desperately need to let the Docker formatted containers communicate with K8s Pod. By communication, I mean the transmission of data from Pod-to-Container and vice-versa, using protocols like TCP, Http, Https, UDP, Sockets, web-sockets and much more.

How Kubernetes Helps to Enable DevOps

A recent Gartner survey suggests that roughly 50% of the respondents planned to implement continuous delivery and DevOps by year-end 2017 in order to deliver services faster, more often and more reliably. State of DevOps Report by Puppet Labs suggests that high-performing organizations that focus on automation and DevOps are able to reduce their lead-time for delivering a change by a factor of 440 and deliver services 46 times more often. These results have helped to make DevOps adoption a mainstream enterprise IT phenomena. As a result, today we see DevOps adoption in virtually all industries and company sizes, and the perception of DevOps as a unicorn capability has long vanished.

Using Agile Integration for IoT

By Ishu Verma

In architecting end-to-end Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, one of the biggest challenges is how to integrate IoT data with data streams from enterprise systems and external sources. Traditionally, businesses have used an enterprise service bus (ESB) and service-oriented architecture (SOA) to integrate and connect different systems and applications. However, this integration approach, due to its complexity and time-consuming implementation cycle, is not suitable for the rapidly moving needs of digital business imperatives like IoT. Given IoT’s adaptive nature, agile integration should be considered.

Manage test dependencies with Go

By Konrad Kleine

Introduction

I’m working on the upstream fabric8-wit project of openshift.io. In this Go project, we embrace testing as best as we can in order to deliver a stable component. Testing acts as our safety net to allow for fast-paced feature development. This blog post is about our recent change in our testing strategy. It is not as boring as it might sound at first. 😉
