Kong Inc. has released a feature-complete version of its namesake services broker for legacy and microservices-based applications that promises to eliminate the need for legacy application programming interface (API) management platforms. Company CTO Marco Palladino said traditional API management platforms, for all intents and purposes, are now dead. Formerly known as Mashape, the core technology […]
Netifi Rises to Microservices Integration Challenge
Netifi this week launched an integration platform based on the open source RSocket communications protocol to replace HTTP ad REST application programming interfaces (APIs) as the mechanism for connecting microservices. RSocket was originally created by Netflix and is now being strengthened via contributions from Netifi, Facebook and Pivotal Software for use within enterprise IT organizations. […]
Enabling the Financial Services Shift to Microservices
The financial services industry historically has been riddled with barriers to entry. Challengers found it difficult to break through low margins and tightening regulations. However, large enterprises that once dominated the market are now facing disruption from smaller, leaner fintech companies that are eating away at the value chain. These disruptors are marked by technological […]
How Service Mesh Addresses 3 Key Microservices Challenges
I was recently reading the “Global Microservices Trends” report by Dimensional Research and found myself thinking, “A service mesh could help with that.” Let’s look at three key challenges listed in the report. A couple key points in the report make it clear microservices are seeing widespread adoption. It’s also clear that along with the […]
Containers, Service Mesh and API Gateways: It Starts at the Edge
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. However, the underlying proxy technology that powers a service mesh also can provide a lot […]
Knowing What Your Microservices Are Doing
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 […]
Microservices Momentum Accelerates
A global survey of 353 application development professionals conducted by Dimensional Research on behalf of LightStep, a provider of application performance management (APM) tools, finds a full 86 percent of respondents expect microservices to be the default architecture within five years. A total of 60 percent of respondents said they already have microservices in production […]
Time to Rethink Infrastructure Operations in Enterprises

According to IDC’s survey in 2017, “Two-thirds of global CEOs will have digital transformation as part of their corporate strategy.” That’s CEOs—not CIOs—who will have digital transformation as part of their corporate […]
The Road Ahead for Service Mesh
If you’re struggling to manage microservices as architectures continue to scale, there’s a good chance you’ve at least heard of service mesh. For the purposes of this blog, I’ll assume you’re familiar with the basic tenets of a service mesh. I believe that service mesh is advancing microservice communication to a new level that is […]

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 […]
