HAProxyConf 2019 - Building a Service Mesh at Criteo with Consul and HAProxy by Pierre Souchay

Apr 2, 2020 By HAProxy In HAProxy

At Criteo, we have been working on building a tight integration between HashiCorp Consul and HAProxy. In this talk, we will explain how we provision our HAProxy instances dynamically using Consul Connect, a new service mesh technology that allows HAProxy to talk to its peers from machine-to-machine without a traditional load balancer. We will detail how we are able to create a service with DNS, add load balancing, and configure SSL certificates in mere seconds. Since Criteo is working actively on enabling HAProxy with Consul Connect, we will explain the challenges of scaling Service Mesh architectures for large infrastructures.

Monitoring Microservices: A 5-Step Guide

Mar 16, 2020 By Mark Henke In Stackify

Why is monitoring microservices so important? It’s because we work in a time where systems are complex, distributed across multiple microservices. For example, even a simple e-commerce app may have Ordering, Product Catalog, and Shipping services. Our tooling and practices sometimes struggle to keep up with such complexity.

Best Practices for Moving from a Monolith to Microservices

Feb 10, 2020 By Chris Maki In Rollbar

In the first post of this series, we looked at the state of your organization, how to tell if Microservices are right for you, and wrapped up with a few challenges this architecture brings to the table. In this article, we will look at organizational changes that will help you adopt a Microservice architecture. Additionally, we will touch on topics like how to bring change to your organization, how to embrace the primacy effect, and why you should embrace cross-functional teams.

Why Transaction Tracing is Critical for Monitoring Microservices

Jan 20, 2020 By Andre Newman In SolarWinds

Teams switching from a monolithic application architecture to microservices often face a jarring realization: their time-tested troubleshooting techniques don’t work as effectively. A microservice consists of many independent, distributed, and ephemeral services with varying capabilities for monitoring and logging. Techniques such as stack traces are effective troubleshooting tools in monoliths, but only paint a small portion of the big picture in a microservice-based application.

Using Logz.io for Spring Boot Logs

Dec 18, 2019 By Charlie Klein In logz.io

We recently wrote a blog with Julien Dubois, a Java Developer Advocate from Microsoft, on how to simplify logging for Spring Boot applications. This is a small preview. Spring Boot is an open source Java framework that makes it easier for developers to create microservices. Azure just announced Azure Spring Cloud, which will help Java engineers on Azure developer Java microservices faster. This blog explores how to simplify logging for Spring Boot applications.
