In the process of building new or modernizing older applications, backend functionality is often broken down in multiple microservices. Without modular frontends though, applications often don’t ga...

One of the advantages of microservices based architectures is that parts of applications can be updated independently from each other. However, in the process of modularizing applications the front...

When building applications and microservices for container environments like Kubernetes and OpenShift, efficient usage of resources is key. Similarly to popular frameworks like Node.js/JavaScript, ...

The strangler pattern is a common methodology to break down monoliths in microservices. However caution needs to be taken to prevent building distributed monoliths. This article describes how to us...

In my previous article Strangler Pattern Example I explained why it might make sense to modernize monoliths and start using microservices. In my sample application breaking down the monolith in sep...
