Source – techtarget.com A service registry sits between a client and server in a network and controls access between both of them. It is a critical part of the application stack and has a big impact on the end-user experience. With the growing use of microservices, the role of a service registry has become even more important Read More
Source – infoworld.com Nginx has introduced an application server for microservices environments. The open source Nginx Unit is designed for environments where developers use multiple languages in their deployments. It’s typical in microservices to use multiple languages and thus have multiple software stacks to manage and control, the company says. In its beta release this week, Nginx Unit Read More

There are three principal people who are responsible for the API design strategy: the business leader, the enterprise architect and the developer. An API design strategy begins with business leaders, Read More
Source – jaxenter.com Enterprises are increasingly turning to a microservice architecture for new applications to achieve greater agility and scalability, and the software industry is supporting them with development frameworks and tools for creating microservices. Yet, these don’t operate in a vacuum and often require an effective approach to integration. The challenge is that building integration Read More

Source – blog.risingstack.com A Microservices architecture makes it possible to isolate failuresthrough well-defined service boundaries. But like in every distributed system, there is a higher chance for network, hardware or application level issues. As a consequence of service dependencies, any component can be temporarily unavailable for their consumers. To minimize the impact of partial outages we need to build Read More
Source – techtarget.com exactly how many microservices it should include. The answer is important, because including too few or too many makes a huge difference in effectiveness and manageability. Read on to learn how to use containers and codebase analysis to decide. Why microservices? Microservices architectures have become popular over the past several years because they make Read More
Source – sdtimes.com Microservices are in the spotlight, as infrastructure building blocks, because they offer decoupling of services, data store autonomy, miniaturized development, testing set up, and other benefits that facilitate faster time to market for new applications or updates. The availability of containers and their orchestration tools has also contributed to the increase in microservices Read More

With more tapas bars opening and existing restaurants adopting a “small plate” menu, I find myself losing the battle of steakhouse vs. tapas quite often. After several Read More
Source – techtarget.com In this Q&A, Daniel Bryant, CTO at SpectoLabs and an independent technical consultant, talks about some of the challenges that come up when addressing microservices security and some of the tools and techniques you can use. Compared to more traditional architectures, what new challenges have microservices introduced in terms of security? Daniel Bryant: Read More
Source – techtarget.com Most enterprise development teams will end up using cloud-hosted microservices. The question for most will be where to start, because picking poor candidates early will slow or even discredit microservices adoption. The best microservices use cases fall into four categories, and every enterprise should look for one or more of these for suggested early Read More
Source – jaxenter.com “Microservices Architecture” is now a popular concept in programming. In order to keep up-to-date as a software developer, I’ve been trying to get a good understanding of this architecture. Specifically, I’ve been looking at a better way to implement microservices architecture in Java using Spring. Some background: my company, although great, had a Read More
Source – searchmicroservices.techtarget.com Containers aren’t a new concept; the first steps toward Linux containers were taken in 1979. Since then, there have been about a dozen new evolutionary steps in container deployment of applications, and we’re not done yet. Containers are also interacting with supporting technologies, like DevOps, and competing ones, like virtual machines (VMs), to create Read More
Source – infoq.com We’ve had a few articles over the years on the differences and similarities between SOA and microservices. Some suggest there is much to be learned from SOA whereas others believe that distancing microservices from SOA is more beneficial. Furthermore, Neal Ford amongst others, have suggested that moving from monolithic architectures to a services-based approach may be easier than going to Read More
Source – business2community.com Over the decades, the monolithic, tiered approach to building software has given way to a more distributed, component-based architecture commonly referred to as “microservices,” although some components aren’t “micro” at all. Separating out an app’s services into isolated, interoperable containers has revolutionized the way developers are able to update, add to, or expand parts of an app. Read More
Source – infoworld.com With every innovation comes new complications. Containers made it possible to package and run applications in a convenient, portable form factor, but managing containers at scale is challenging to say the least. Kubernetes, the product of work done internally at Google to solve that problem, provides a single framework for managing how containers Read More
