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 […]

Functional Programming: Island of Misfit Functional Programming
The age of functional programming is dawning. The hype cycle has heated up, and IT departments are getting both real and perceived benefits out of the idea that a function runs on demand only. For some, the benefits are very real. Bursty processing, or things that are frequent and quickly resolved, see a benefit from […]
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 […]
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 […]
NGINX Extends Microservices Ambitions
NGINX has extended the reach and scope of a namesake application platform that the company is positioning as a bridge between legacy applications and emerging microservices architectures. The NGINX Application Platform now includes NGINX Unit 1.0, an open source application server designed to simplify microservices across multiple application types simultaneously using a single instance of […]

IBM has unveiled a new development environment in the cloud designed to make it easier to build microservices. John Duimovich, IBM CTO for Java, said Microclimate provides a complete framework building applications based on microservices written in Java, Node.js or Swift. Microclimate runs on an instance of IBM Cloud Private, a private cloud based on […]
NATS Messaging Entering Cloud Native Purview
The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) has expanded the scope of its purview by adding open source NATS messaging software to an expanding list of technologies it now oversees. NATS messaging software has been commonly employed in environments such as platform-as-a-service (PaaS) environments. But with the rise of microservices, a campaign to make NATS a […]
Service Mesh: The Best Way to Scale Enterprise Apps
Microservices are great for DevOps, but the service-to-service communication these architectures depend on are complex to run and manage at production scale. Enter service mesh: the best way for enterprises to scale, secure and monitor apps. A service mesh is a dedicated infrastructure layer enabling service-to-service communication to be quick, secure and reliable. If you’re building […]
Top 3 Challenges of Adopting Microservices as Part of Your Cloud Migration
