Zero Trust with Microservices – it’s easier than you think!
If you think these security problems with microservices through to their logical conclusion, you will see that only a zero trust approach can provide sufficient security protection. Zero trust means that basically no (micro) service can be trusted, not even if it is located in a trusted zone.

Choreography vs Orchestration in serverless microservices
Should there be a central orchestrator controlling all interactions between services or should each service work independently and interact through events? This is the central question in the choreography vs orchestration debate. In orchestration, a central service defines and controls the flow of traffic between services. With centralization, it becomes easier to change and monitor the flow and apply consistent policies.

Data Classes in Java: Introduction to Java Records
Each company has large software systems that have been continuously developed over many years, and the maintenance of these systems is becoming tougher and more expensive year after year. Against the background of new architectural paradigms such as microservices, these systems should now be modern, scalable and flexible. There is hope though - you can get rid of these big, cumbersome monoliths by decomposing them down into smaller microservices.

From monoliths to modular architectures and microservices with DDD

Cloud native Java with Micronaut – An alternative to Spring?
Yes, you read it correctly, there are alternatives. Although the top dog Spring is enjoying great popularity with Java applications, we should not forget that there are also other frameworks worth taking a look at. Here we’ll be talking about Micronaut, a relatively new framework, but one that offers some interesting features that make it a real rival to Spring, especially in the cloud environment. In this article, we will implement an application using Spring Boot and then using Micronaut. Then, we will compare the two approaches and see where each framework is superior to the other.

RESTful APIs done right
Anyone who has ever set up a domain with microservices already knows: APIs for service-to-service communication are of crucial importance. Since each team has its own style and implements interfaces differently, the number of various approaches tends to explode sooner or later. Defining a guideline with rules and examples right at the beginning of the project helps to guarantee consistent APIs which are as self-explanatory as possible.

Technologies for microservices
Microservices lead to new challenges, making it necessary to find new technological approaches. Microservice frameworks are of course part of the solution, but they are certainly not the most important. Which technologies play a crucial role here?

It is all about microservice-based architectures
In this interview, Kai Tödter emphasise that teams have to think carefully how microservices should interact with each other, like using orchestration or choreography. The services themselves should be self-contained or use resilience patterns when they need data of other microservices.

Microservices architecture in 7 days
In this interview, Gil Tayar explains that building a microservices architecture from scratch is different, and easier, than taking an existing architecture and turning it into microservices.

Containers – the current revolutionary cycle
In this interview, Daniel Bryant talks about the great power of containers, but also about the operational responsibility they demand. He looks at the high-level steps that are essential for creating an effective pipeline for creating and deploying containerized applications.
