Understanding the Future of the Data Center Edge

Dzone - DevOps

With the adoption of Kubernetes and microservices, the edge has evolved from simple hardware load balancers to a full stack of hardware and software proxies that comprise API Gateways, content delivery networks, and load balancers. The Early Internet and Load Balancers.

Microservice architecture of Meta

Abhishek Tiwari

Microservices have become the dominant architectural paradigm for building large-scale distributed systems, but until now, their inner workings at major tech companies have remained shrouded in mystery. Meta's microservices architecture encompasses over 18,500 active services running across more than 12 million service instances.

AoAD2 Practice: Evolutionary System Architecture

James Shore

Your network gateways and load balancers. There’s no Kubernetes, no Docker, no microservices, no autoscaling, not even any cloud. Microservices and Monoliths. Microservices are the most common reason I see for complex system architectures. That careful modularity will always break down, microservice proponents say.

Scaling my application: am I ready?

CircleCI

First, we can scale the application’s ability to handle requests by providing more powerful hardware. If you start with a monolithic app, then scaling the hardware may be your first choice. However, this just makes a single instance of your application faster as long as you can find more powerful hardware. Automate first.

Three Strategies for Managing APIs, Ingress, and the Edge with Kubernetes

Daniel Bryant

Deploy an additional k8s gateway, extend the existing gateway, or deploy a comprehensive self-service edge stack Refactoring applications into a microservice-style architecture package within containers and deployed into Kubernetes brings several new challenges for the edge.

Understanding API Gateway: When You Need It and How to Implement

Altexsoft

Microservices and API gateways. It’s also an architectural pattern, which was initially created to support microservices. A tool called load balancer (which in old days was a separate hardware device) would then route all the traffic it got between different instances of an application and return the response to the client.
