Benchmark Your Apps Against the AWS Well-Architected Framework
AWS introduced best practices to review and improve traditional or proposed architectures through its widely renowned AWS Well Architected Framework. The framework introduces five pillars where each pillar is composed of separate practices for a better application and workload architecture to solve challenges many customers were having. Those challenges involve a lack of internal knowledge, …

Containers on AWS: Which Service Is Right for Your Workload
Due to their lightweight, portable nature, using containers allows optimal cloud-native application builds. Now, running ten containers is relatively straightforward, but when you consider running containers at scale, i.e., hundreds and thousands of containers comprising hundreds of services, this can get out of hand quickly. At this point, enterprises reach for a service or tool …

Testing Microservices Applications
The shift towards microservices and modular applications makes testing more important and more challenging at the same time. You have to make sure that the microservices running in containers perform well and as intended, but you can no longer rely on conventional testing strategies to get the job done. This is where new testing approaches …
AWS Fargate for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service
On-demand cloud computing brings new ways to ensure scalability and efficiency. Rather than pre-allocating and managing certain server resources or having to go through the usual process of setting up a cloud cluster, apps and microservices can now rely on on-demand serverless computing blocks designed to be efficient and highly optimized. Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service …

Communication Between Microservices
Moving from a single-server approach to containers is not always easy. But it is possible to set up almost every system to run in containers. A standard web hosting setup, for example, can have PHP and Nginx running in one container and MySQL running in another. Building a system from scratch that takes full advantage …
Container Registries—A Battle Royale
One of the main advantages of using containers with Kubernetes is continuous availability. Rather than taking the whole system down for an update or maintenance, each container – containing specific microservices – can be replaced on the fly. The way developers do that is by preparing a new container for the updated microservices, setting up …
Cloud Migration Best Practices: How to Move Your Project to Kubernetes
Moving your app or web services to the cloud is more of a must than an option these days. The cloud infrastructure we have available today is not only more capable and more stable, but also more scalable. By moving to the cloud, you gain a lot of benefits while also significantly reducing operational stress …

Leveraging Serverless Architecture
This post on leveraging serverless architecture was originally published here on DZone.com. Serverless computing, also known as serverless architecture, and sometimes just serverless, is a hot topic in computing right now. Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, the big three when it comes to cloud computing, are all investing heavily in serverless architecture to provide continuous service …

Scaling Microservices: The Challenges and Solutions
The increasingly popular microservices model—by which software solutions are comprised of multiple modular components—is a very powerful and increasingly popular one. Not only does it allow for solutions to be formulated from the best individual components available, it also allows for the most effective services to be redeployed in different combinations. In this way, microservices …

Microservices: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Microservices have been bandied about in the past couple of years, but what are the real advantages and disadvantages to implementing and running them? Like any service architecture, there are pros and cons, benefits and tradeoffs. So, how do microservices compare against other application architectures like monoliths, service-oriented architecture (SOA), and functions? We’re here to …
