The rise of non-microservices architectures

Bilgin Ibryam

There are pros and cons using to a microservices architecture. Some teams decide not to strictly follow all the principles of the "pure" microservices architecture. This post explores some valid reasons for using or not using microservices, and it discusses alternatives.

Asynchronous communication between microservices using AMQP and Vert.x

Faisal Masood

This article shows how to use Apache QPid Proton (or Red Hat AMQ Interconnect) as a message router, the Vert.x AMQP bridge, and the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) for asynchronous request-reply communication between two microservices. Since AMQP is a wire-level protocol, services written in other stacks (like .NET) can also use the same communication channel.

Announcing .NET Core 2.1 for Red Hat Platforms

Bob Davis +1

We are very pleased to announ ce the general availability of .NET Core 2.1 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and OpenShift platforms! .NET Core is the open-source, cross-platform .NET platform for building microservices. .NET Core is designed to provide the best performance at scale for applications that use microservices and containers. Libraries can be shared with other .NET platforms, such as .NET Framework (Windows) and Xamarin (mobile applications). With .NET Core you have the flexibility of building and deploying applications...

Red Hat Summit: Containers, Microservices, and Serverless Computing

Doug Tidwell

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.

Red Hat Summit Spotlight: Getting Started with Cloud-Native Apps Lab

Siamak Sadeghianfar

Cloud-native application development is the new paradigm for building applications and although is it often mistaken for microservices, it is much more than that and encompasses not only the application architecture but also the process through which applications are built, deployed, and managed. New apps are often seen as the focus of cloud-native applications; however, we believe existing and new applications are alike and can incorporate cloud-native practices if they have the four defining characteristics of cloud-native applications: Service-based: Build...

An API Journey: From Idea to Deployment the Agile Way--Part III

Laurent Broudoux

From Idea to Deployment the Agile Way--Part III: The whole API lifecycle should go agile in order to stay relevant. But, this is made difficult because new service-based architectures make dependencies skyrocket. It’s time to think of a new way to deliver APIs--mocking and testing included--to simplify and accelerate the process of shipping production-ready APIs.

When Vert.x Meets Reactive eXtensions (Part 5 of Introduction to Vert.x)

Clement Escoffier

In the last post, we saw how Eclipse Vert.x can interact with a database. To tame the asynchronous nature of Vert.x, we used Future objects. In this post, we are going to see another way to manage asynchronous code: reactive programming. We will see how Vert.x combined with Reactive eXtensions gives you superpowers.
