#Technology Today, HKT and Huawei today jointly announce the establishment of the Digital Transformation Practice Center (DTPC), which aims to share the experience and practices of HKT gained during its digital business transformation journey and to help guide the digitalization process of other carriers. The DTPC will be set up by mid-2018 in Hong Kong, the heart of Asia, welcoming guests from all over the world. http://bit.ly/2BOS9jm #Huawei #BigData #AI
Creating a Simple Spring Boot API From Scratch
ICYMI: Currently, many technologies are based on APIs and Microservices, and, if they are not based on them yet, they are moving in that direction. From my experience as an Information Technologies engineer, most people in the IT segment know or have at least heard of APIs (Application Programming/Protocol Interface). It is also relatively clear that APIs should be somewhere in the middle layer, between the backend and frontend, or the database and backend, or something similar.
The aim of this post is to learn to create a simple API based on Spring Boot, which is a framework for creating Spring applications. Spring Boot is a project from Spring by Pivotal and, nowadays, is consumed quite widely in Java, Kotlin and Groovy. Developers use it for creating microservices, APIs, standalone applications, websites, etc. https://goo.gl/mgwocy #DataIntegration #ML
Building Ambassador, an Open Source API Gateway on Kubernetes and Envoy
API Gateways are a popular pattern for exposing your service endpoints to the consumer. At Datawire, we wanted to expose a number of our cloud services to our end users via an API Gateway. All of our cloud services run in Kubernetes, so we wanted to deploy the API gateway on Kubernetes as well. And finally, we wanted something that was open source.
We took a look at Tyk, Kong, and a few other open source API Gateways, and found that they had a common architecture — a persistent data store (e.g., Cassandra, Redis, MongoDB), a proxy server to do the actual traffic management, and REST APIs for configuration. While all of these seemed like they would work, we asked ourselves if there was a simpler, more Kubernetes-native approach. https://goo.gl/QuK8Fo #DataIntegration #ML
