Workflows Patterns And Best Practices – Part 1

For the last couple of years, we’ve been using Workflows, Google Cloud’s service orchestrator, to bring order to our serverless microservices architectures. As we used and gained more experience with Workflows and service orchestration, we shared what he had learned in conference talks, blog posts, samples, and tutorials. Along the way, some common patterns and best practices emerged. To help you take better advantage of Workflows and service orchestration on Google Cloud, we’ve summarized these proven patterns and best practices in a three-part series of blog posts.Let’s get started with Part 1! Make a conscious choice on the communication style…

10 Use Cases for Using Laravel to Build Web App Development Projects

It’s no secret that PHP is sometimes considered a “low-barrier-to-entry” programming language. While there are some arguments against PHP, it’s mature, still among the top 10 most used programming languages worldwide, and one of the most popular languages to build maintainable, clean, fast, and reliable web apps. Nowadays, any software development involves more than an understanding of a programming language core. It’s paramount to get an idea of how some frameworks and libraries work as they are designed for a more natural structured way of app development. Talking about web projects built on PHP, Laravel is the most utilized framework for…

Microservices Architecture On Google Cloud

The evolution of technologies such as containerization, container orchestration, and cloud-native serverless services has given us the ability to develop distributed solutions based on microservices architectures that are both more scalable and more reliable. Click to enlarge What is microservices architecture? Microservices architecture (often shortened to microservices) refers to an architectural style for developing applications. Microservices enable you to break down a large application into smaller independent services, with each service having its own realm of responsibility. To serve a single user request, a microservices-based application can call on many individual microservices to compose its response. Containers are well-suited to…

Think gRPC, When You Are Architecting Modern Microservices!

More than ever before, present day businesses want their IT systems to constantly evolve and be capable of responding positively to the changing goals and priorities. As they say, change is the only constant. In this context, microservices have become the proverbial  Holy Grail for solution architects to design and build modern software.  However, microservices are complex to design. The essence of microservices architecture is to build software as a set of autonomous business capabilities that collaborate non-invasively to realize the whole solution. In the solution definition phase, it is quite easy to overlook some of the design complexities that…

How Internal Developer Platforms Impact Your DevOps Team Success

The last decade has seen an acceleration of software technology such as progressive web apps, cloud computing, and APIs. This has led to fundamental changes in software engineering roles, teams, tools, and processes. As teams have shifted from monoliths to microservices and seek to streamline and automate processes for speed, continuous delivery, competitive advantage, and satisfied end-users, developers are reconfiguring not only their workflow but their workplace. An example of this is the use of Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs). What is an Internal Developer Platform?  Evan Bottcher, Head of Engineering at ThoughtWorks Australia defines an IDP as: “A foundation of self-service APIs,…

How To Develop Microservices In Kubernetes

Guest post originally published on StackHawk’s blog by Zachary Conger, Senior DevOps Engineer at StackHawk Overview We love containers. At StackHawk we have always been fans of containers. From day one we made the decision to ship HawkScan (our application security scanning engine) as a container, and this is part of what makes it simple to use and integrate into any workflow. We also bet on containers for our cloud platform, where we run microservices in Kubernetes to handle APIs, authentication, notifications, and all the magic that happens behind the scenes to make HawkScan so powerful and easy to use.…

Enhancing The DevOps Experience On Kubernetes With Logging

Keeping track of what’s going on in Kubernetes isn’t easy. It’s an environment where things move quickly, individual containers come and go, and a large number of independent processes involving separate users may all be happening at the same time. Container-based systems are by their nature optimized for rapid, efficient response to a heavy load of requests from multiple users in a highly abstracted environment and not for high-visibility, real-time monitoring.   The Need for Insight However, the fact remains that you need to know what’s happening inside your Kubernetes clusters; the cost of not knowing is simply too high.…
