Is the DevOps world slowly backing away from microservices and to a monolithic renaissance? After years of proselytization about the benefits (Flexibility! Resilience! Support faster release speeds!) of microservices and serverless architecture, there are signs of a potential backlash against the singularly fragmented microservices architectural approach. The argument in favor of rolling back to monolithic […]
State of Developer Experience Report Finds Growing API Reliance
Web APIs continue to grow in interest among developer users. APIs can empower new customer experiences and help engineers avoid rebuilding common functions. The technology is also powering microservices and headless architectures that we’ve seen gain more traction in recent years as enterprises become more composable. On the provider side, a web API strategy can […]
Loosely Couple Your Schema and Keep Data Separate
In software development, one of the primary goals is to write clean, maintainable and extensible code. To achieve this, developers often strive to design systems that are loosely coupled and separate concerns into smaller, more manageable components. Loose coupling refers to the practice of designing components that are not tightly dependent on one another, allowing […]
Deploying a Service Mesh: Challenges and Solutions
A service mesh is a dedicated infrastructure layer that enables communication between microservices in a distributed application. It helps to abstract the underlying communication infrastructure, such as network protocols and load balancing and provides a consistent interface for microservices to communicate with each other. In a service mesh, each microservice in the application is represented […]
Best of 2022: Using Event-Driven Architecture With Microservices
As we close out 2022, we at staging-devopsy.kinsta.cloud wanted to highlight the most popular articles of the year. Following is the latest in our series of the Best of 2022. Microservices architecture is on the rise, already forming a key part of several current transformation projects, breaking down traditionally monolithic applications into self-contained, independently deployed […]
Shift Left Testing in Microservices Environments
By now, it’s common knowledge that the later a bug is detected in the software development life cycle (SDLC), the longer it takes and the more expensive it is to fix that bug. In 2017, the Ponemon Institute found that it cost around $80 on average to fix a defect detected early in the SDLC […]
Index Tracks Impressive Growth of API-First Startups
APIs are the building blocks of modern software, and their use continues to grow around the globe. A full 89% of investment into APIs will increase or stay the same over the next 12 months, Postman’s 2022 State of the API report found. And the evolving API-first approach is ushering in many innovations and startups […]
Introduction to MACH Architecture
In recent years, the need to construct end-to-end digital experiences has become increasingly important. But to deliver new features and services promptly, organizations must double down on agility and reusability. As part of this trend, applications have become increasingly modular, often constructed using pre-built microservices and integrating common SaaS to avoid reinventing the wheel. MACH […]
A DevOps Reset for a Multi-Cloud World
In the world of DevOps, only two things really matter: To release applications and updates as quickly as possible To have access to resources (processing, storage, networks) able to run those apps, as cost-effectively as possible. The measures used to achieve these twin goals should work together seamlessly–otherwise, you’re inefficient. But software development and IT […]
Microservices Explained: Not Your Father’s SOA
Microservices are frequently referred to as a variant or derivative of service-oriented architecture (SOA), if not essentially the same thing. While there are similarities and both are designed around the concept of services, that’s where the similarities end. Each was created around a different set of principles and intended to address different problems. Microservices architecture […]
