Multi Domain REST API routing for Data Mesh based Data ProductsJohan Louwers
Data Mesh and REST API routing based on subdomains or additions to Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs) are innovative approaches addressing complex data architecture and API ecosystem challenges.
Data Mesh:
Data Mesh reimagines data architecture with decentralization and domain-oriented focus. Traditional centralized architectures struggle with scaling and adapting to diverse data sources. Data Mesh advocates for decentralization, where data ownership, governance, and infrastructure are distributed among domain-specific teams. Each data domain manages and evolves its data assets independently, fostering ownership and agility. By aligning data management with domain boundaries, Data Mesh aims to enhance agility, scalability, and innovation.
REST API Routing Based on Subdomains or FQDN Additions:
REST API routing based on subdomains or FQDN additions directs client requests to specific API endpoints using URL segments. This leverages domain hierarchy for logical partitioning and routing requests to backend services or microservices. It ensures clear separation of concerns, simplified configuration, and improved scalability and modularity. Additionally, it enables fine-grained control over routing and facilitates implementation of cross-cutting concerns like authentication and rate limiting.
In summary, Data Mesh and REST API routing based on subdomains or FQDN additions offer powerful tools for managing and scaling data and API ecosystems. These approaches empower organizations to embrace complexity, foster innovation, and adapt to evolving business requirements in modern data-driven enterprises.
TClab Dynamic Solar Panel Positioning SystemsJohan Louwers
A TClab Dynamic Solar Panel Positioning Systems engineering study. By accurately adjusting the azimuth and altitude angles, solar panel positioning systems can optimize the orientation and tilt of the panels to capture the maximum amount of sunlight throughout the day, thus improving energy generation efficiency. Azimuth corrections refers to the horizontal angle at which the solar panels are aligned relative to a reference point, usually the north direction. It represents the rotation around a vertical axis. The azimuth angle typically ranges from 0° (facing north) to 360° (completing a full circle). By adjusting the azimuth angle, the solar panels can track the sun's path throughout the day to maximize exposure to sunlight.
Altitude corrections refers to the vertical angle or tilt at which the solar panels are positioned relative to the ground or a horizontal reference plane. It represents the angle of elevation or inclination from the horizontal plane. The altitude angle usually ranges from 0° (panels lying flat) to 90° (panels standing straight up). The altitude angle is adjusted based on factors such as the latitude of the installation location and the time of year to optimize the angle at which the panels receive sunlight.
Oracle Cloud With Azure DevOps PipelinesJohan Louwers
Oracle Cloud DevOps with Azure Pipelines allows connecting Azure Pipelines to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) APIs and deployed components through the use of self-hosted Azure agents running within OCI. This enables full pipeline execution within OCI while leveraging tools like Terraform for infrastructure provisioning and cx_Oracle for working with Oracle databases. Ensuring agents have direct connectivity and aiming for a software-defined automated strategy is recommended over cross-cloud connections.

Voice assistants for the insurance industry Johan Louwers
This document discusses the rapid adoption of voice assistants and the opportunities they present for financial services firms. It notes that voice assistant usage has increased significantly in recent years, especially among younger demographics, and is expected to continue growing quickly. Retail and e-commerce companies have started capitalizing on voice shopping. Now financial services firms need to develop strategies to engage customers through this new voice channel, like using voice assistants to provide personalized products and services or improve customer service. The document argues voice is becoming a critical new interaction method and financial companies must adopt a voice strategy to succeed.

Docker and microservices - moving from a monolith to microservicesJohan Louwers
The document discusses moving from a monolithic application architecture to microservices. It begins by stating some ground rules for the presentation. It then discusses how microservices are defined as independently deployable services that communicate via APIs. Docker containers are presented as a way to package and deploy microservices for benefits like automated deployment and scaling. Key differences between containers and virtual machines are highlighted. An example deployment architecture with containers is shown. The document acknowledges that transitioning to microservices and containers will be a long process but will enable benefits like agility, performance and higher release frequency.
The document discusses how banks are increasingly adopting cloud-native approaches to application development and deployment to improve business agility, customer experiences, and operational efficiency. It outlines three common uses cases driving cloud-native adoption: 1) transforming the business for greater agility and flexibility, 2) optimizing operational efficiency using public cloud infrastructure, and 3) adopting an API ecosystem. While cloud-native approaches provide benefits, banks face challenges integrating legacy infrastructure and cultural changes. The document recommends banks assess their application portfolio to determine what can be lifted to the cloud, rewritten for cloud, or retired.
