Microservices!
All about that bass hype!
Monolithic
Microservices
"Microservices" is not a new concept
simply a new term that re-affirms our belief in the core concepts of modularity, stability, scalability and separation of function.
The technology has always been there!
What's changed is the footprint
Our ability to create, build and deploy self contained and self sustaining applications with very small overhead and little resources, using tools like Docker, CoreOS, Kong and many others!
How the world sees you
YOUR API IS A PRODUCT!
Drawbacks
- Duplication of function
- Security
- Performance
- Logging / Analytics
- No Clear Upgrade Path
Marco Palladino
Co-Founder & CTO @ Mashape
Kong is an application layer leveraging NGINX's runtime, exposing a pluggable interface to extend API management functions
How easy is it?
Control and configure Kong using a fully RESTful interface, allowing fast and simple integration with your existing services.
Can I customize it?
Kong is built with extensibility in mind, using the power of Lua and leveraging the Luarocks community
