• Scaling Sidecars to Zero in Kubernetes

  The sidecar pattern in Kubernetes describes a single pod containing a container in which a main app sits. A helper container (the sidecar) is deployed alongside a main app container within the same pod. This pattern allows each container to focus on a single aspect of the overall functionality, improving the maintainability and scalability of apps deployed in Kubernetes environments. From gathering metrics to... - Source: dev.to / 4 days ago

• .NET Aspire is the best way to experiment with Dapr during local development

  Dapr provides a set of building blocks that abstract concepts commonly used in distributed systems. This includes secured synchronous and asynchronous communication between services, caching, workflows, resiliency, secret management and much more. Not having to implement these features yourself eliminates boilerplate, reduce complexity and allows you to focus on developing your business features. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• Join the Diagrid Catalyst AWS Hackathon!

  Diagrid Catalyst is a Developer API platform providing a brand-new approach to distributed application development. Using the Catalyst APIs, powered by the Dapr open source project, developers can overcome the complexity of rewriting common software patterns and achieve higher productivity by offloading infrastructure concerns from their code to Catalyst. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• Interesting projects using WebAssembly

  The following two examples are open-source projects maintained by Fermyon with contributions from companies like Microsoft and SUSE. The first is Spin, which allows us to use WebAssembly to create Serverless applications. The second, SpinKube, combines some of the topics I'm most excited about these days: WebAssembly and Kubernetes Operators :) The official website says, "By running applications in the Wasm... - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• The Ambassador Pattern

  Speaking of this has anyone had much experience with Dapr (https://dapr.io/) before? I always thought this was a particularly interesting approach from Microsoft where they use this pattern to essentially take the complexity of micro services and instead try and keep it as simple as a normal .NET application but (and I think this is the clever part) in both a vendor and language neutral way. But all of a sudden it... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Modern Async Primitives on iOS, Android, and the Web

  Kotlin also has a construct for asynchronous collections/streams. Kotlin's version of AsyncSequence is called a Flow. Just as Swift's AsyncSequence builds upon prior experience with RxSwift and Combine, Kotlin's Flow APIs build upon earlier stream/collection APIs in the JVM ecosystem: Java's RxJava, Java8 Streams, Project Reactor, and Scala's Akka. - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago

• What are the current hot topics in type theory and static analysis?

  First-class distributed and multicore computing. Swift has first-class “actors” and “distributed” methods. Unison, Erlang, and Elixir are built with distributed being one of the #1 concerns. Though first-class is not super common and I don't really expect it to be because usually libraries are enough (e.g. Scala has Akka and is used WIDELY for distributed); whereas something like linear types and typed effects,...

• Anything close beam/otp for other languages?

  Akka is a library that implements the actor model for JVM languages. Mainly in Scala, but you can use it in Java too, and maybe others. It doesn't feel as ergonomic as Elixir, but if Elixir is too "out there" for the decision makers in your case, this might be a friendlier alternative. Source: about 1 year ago

• Kalix: Move to the Cloud. Extend to the Edge. Go Beyond.

  Kalix builds on the lessons we have learned from more than a decade of building Akka (leveraging the actor model) and our experience helping large (and small) enterprises move to the cloud and use it in the most time, cost, and resource-efficient way possible. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• About Elixir and the microservices architecture

  Note Akka, the Java & friends framework, is working with the actor model and have as main inspiration Erlang to mimic some features of the BEAM on top of the JVM. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
