In the first part of this article I explain the amazing technologies Quarkus and Knative. In the second part I describe how to write simple microservices with Quarkus in Visual Studio Code in just a few minutes. In the last part I walk you through the steps how to deploy and run microservices as serverless applications on Kubernetes via Knative. (more…)

My colleagues Harald Uebele and Thomas Südbröcker and I've written two workshops for developers how to get started with Red Hat OpenShift on the IBM Cloud. (more…)

This article describes Tekton, an open-source framework for creating CI/CD systems, and explains how to deploy and use it on the IBM Cloud Kubernetes service. (more…)

I created a short video (4 mins) where I describe why the IBM Cloud is a great cloud platform for application developers. (more…)

Today (8/1/19) IBM announced the general availability of managed Red Hat OpenShift on the IBM Cloud. This article describes how developers can get started with OpenShift. (more…)

Developers often feel overwhelmed when starting to write cloud-native applications with microservices. There are a lot of technologies that need to be understood first and it needs to be clear when to use which technology. (more…)

One reason why OpenShift is popular is that it comes with several functionality out-of-the-box on top of Kubernetes, for example image repositories and pipelines. However one component that is missing is source control. I assume that's because source control management systems are often already in place. (more…)

My colleague Harald Uebele and I have developed an end-to-end sample application to help developers to get started with developing microservices and deploying them to Kubernetes. We have documented how to run this application on Minikube and the IBM Cloud Kubernetes service. This week we added documentation and scripts how to deploy the same application to Minishift in less than an hour. (more…)
