Kubernetes: from Zero to Hero with Kompose, Minikube, k3sup and Helm — Part 2: Hands-On
This is part two of our series on how we designed and implemented a scalable, highly-available and fault-tolerant microservice-based Image Editor. This part depicts how we went from a basic Docker Compose setup to running our application on our own »bare-metal« Kubernetes cluster.
Kubernetes: from Zero to Hero with Kompose, Minikube, k3sup and Helm — Part 1: Design
This is part one of our series on how we designed and implemented a scalable, highly-available and fault-tolerant microservice-based Image Editor. The series covers the various design choices we made and the difficulties we faced during design and development of our system. It shows how we set up the scaling infrastructure with Kubernetes and what…
Observability?! – Where do we go from here?
The last two years in software development and operations have been characterized by the emerging idea of “observability”. The need for a novel concept guiding the efforts to control our systems arose from the accelerating paradigm changes driven by the need to scale and cloud native technologies. In contrast, the monitoring landscape stagnated and failed…
Microservices – Legolizing Software Development V
We finish with a concluding review about the use of microservices in small projects and give an overview about our top stumbling blocks.
Microservices – Legolizing Software Development IV
An automated development environment will save you. We explain how we set up Jenkins, Docker and Git to work seamlessly together.
Microservices – Legolizing Software Development III
Security is a topic that always occurs with microservices. We’ll present our solution for managing both, authentication and authorization at one single point.
Microservices – Legolizing Software Development II
Part two will take a closer look on how caching improves the heavy and frequent communication within our setup.
Microservices – Legolizing Software Development I
In the first part, we present an example microservice structure, with multiple services, a foreign API interface and a reverse proxy that also allows load balancing.
