The Adaltas crew went to the Open Source Summit 2017 as well as the Mesos Summit 2017 held in Pragues about 3 weeks back. On this occasion, we compiled a series of articles about the conferences that have marked us most.
Over the 3-day period of the Open Source Summit, there is no doubt that Kubernetes was the star of the various talks, becoming the de-facto standard for container orchestration. The conference followed its integration announcement by Mesos-based DC/OS in september as well as the one of Docker in october.
With Kurbenetes comes a rich and growing ecosystem, a few of them hosted under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). Here are a few:
- Kubernetes — orchestration
- Prometheus — monitoring
- Linkerd — Service Mesh
- gRPC — Remote Procedure Call
Overall, we had a wonderful time in Pragues and we wish to thank the organizers as well as the speaker for sharing their talent. Now, let’s get to the articles:

Micro Services
Back in the days, applications were monolithic and we could use an IP address to access a service. With virtual machines (VM), multiple hosts started to appear on the same machine with multiple apps. Things were still similar with VMs and physical machines as services were still accessible from an IP. With MicroServices, things changed and people were not prepared. […]

Nobody* puts Java in a Container
This talk was about the issues of putting Java in a container and how, in its latest version, the JDK is now more aware of the container it is running in. The presentation is led by @joerg_schad, Distributed Software Engineer from Mesosphere, at the OpenSource Summit 2017 in Prague. […]
Apache Thrift VS REST
Adaltas recently attended the Open Source Summit Europe 2017 in Prague. I had the opportunity to follow a presentation made by Randy Abernethy and Jens Geyer of RM-X, a cloud native consulting company, about the use of Apache Thrift in the building of high performance microservices. The focus was that Thrift is very fast and how it applies to microservices. […]
