Optimising Docker Image Sizes: “Self-extracting” Node.js Applications

Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf English verfügbar.As a follow-up on last week's article on tools for inspecting Docker images, and Docker image sizes in particular, today I'd like to introduce another - more custom - approach for reducing the size of Docker images for production deployments. As a means of shaving off an additional 50 MB from the packaged application in question I came up with an idea somewhat reminiscent of the self-extracting archives of yore (of the WinRAR and 7-Zip ...

Tools for Inspecting Docker Images

Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf English verfügbar.Recently, I needed to inspect a Docker image in order to optimize its size for distribution and deployment on an ARM-based industrial microcontroller with rather tight bandwidth constraints. Once deployed at customer sites, these controllers typically don't have an Internet connection but still need to be updated occasionally, via the local network in that case. Since there's no guaranteed minimum network speed in this type of environment, yet software updates still have to complete within ...

A Major Update for MailTrigger – A Simple HTTP-based Email Notification Service

Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf English verfügbar.A few days ago, I've made major updates to MailTrigger - a tool that allows you to asynchronously send emails using an HTTP API. I originally described MailTrigger and the rationale behind that tool in this article: MailTrigger: A Simple HTTP-based Email Notification Service To summarise: While there's no shortage of libraries, APIs and services that help with one or more aspects of this requirement there's no simple yet comprehensive solution that covers everything from triggering an ...

Monoliths Aren’t Inherently Bad

Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf English verfügbar.Self-professed minimalist developer Kelsey Hightower a few months ago wrote about monoliths being the future. The microservice design pattern has been trending in software development for quite some now. Unfortunately, more often than not it's been indiscriminately treated as a panacea to every software architecture and design problem out there. Microservices can help with one aspect specifically: Reducing deployment risk. If you have a large monolith and frequently need to make changes to a specific part or ...

Running A Local Angular Development Environment Behind A Spring Cloud Gateway Service

Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf English verfügbar.Having multiple microservices running behind a reverse proxy / API gateway in lieu of a single monolithic back-end application is a common pattern these days. With such an architecture it often comes in handy to have an Angular application that serves as a front-end for such a modularised back-end be served from behind a reverse proxy running locally as well in order to treat it is if it were running on the same host and ...

Cloud Design Pattern Library by Microsoft

Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf English verfügbar.Microsoft maintains an extensive library of cloud design patterns. Whether you create applications that run on AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud Platform, use platforms such as Heroku or you develop enterprise applications which run on on-premise cloud networks within a corporate intranet, cloud computing becomes ever more crucial to providing business value through software. Hence, it's not only expedient to know about the classic relatively low-level GoF design patterns or Martin Fowler's Patterns of Enterprise ...
