An API Gateway serves as the front-door to your APIs providing features such as route matching and forwarding, rate limiting, path rewriting, circuit breaker patterns, security policy management, throttling, API version management, among other features.

Say hello to Micronaut inside Kubernetes (with Prometheus & Grafana)
In the age of Serverless & Container architectures, there is once again chatter about Java being too fat (and dying). While I can understand the “too fat” observation, I will not put my money on the “java is dying/dead” chatter. That obituary has been written multiple times and the language lives on. It is true that Java was not born in the Container/Cloud era. Yes, it was born in a different age and time, but the language and framework ecosystem has evolved. In the Microservices cloud-native app world where horizontal scaling and fast startup times are expected, Java may (at times depending on the architecture) not be the fastest horse in town.
Take2 — Setting up k8s Cluster with k3s on Raspberry Pi 3 & Pi 4
Back to a teach-myself-something type of project, with setting up K8s Cluster on Raspberry Pi devices. I had a couple of older Raspberry Pi 3s and a recently purchased Pi 4 available for this. My old Pi3 devices had Docker Swarm (yes that one) from a couple of years back. This time around I want to get k8s on the 3 Pi devices.
The steps are fairly simple but it can be a bit of work. You should find blogs out there with decent enough directions. So here goes me adding to that library of blogs to make it easier for the next person trying to set this up.
This is an upgrade from my previous similar blog installing Docker Swarm on a two node Pi-3 cluster https://54.210.73.122/running-docker-swarm-raspberry-pi-3/
Running Istio on Minikube to implement traffic routing
There are multiple strategies you could use to introduce new service versions to an existing product. In this article I will go over how you can implement Canary deployments using Istio in a k82 cluster. The same approach can be used to implement Blue/Green deployments too.
