From Monoliths to Services: Paying Your Technical DebtTechWell
Ever since distributed software became popular, developers have been choosing whether to use monolithic architectures or service-oriented architectures. With the advancement of cloud infrastructure and the widespread implementation of agile methodologies, the latter approach has been getting much easier. David Litvak describes how a monolithic application—due to its ever increasing technical debt—can become too big to support. He explores how to gradually reduce the size by extracting its components into smaller services, so ultimately the application is decoupled and highly distributed. David describes the current situation of cloud services and software as a service providers, offering a list of these providers for many different uses. He shares an example of an e-commerce site implementation, starting with a full-blown traditional rails monolith and then moving toward a static site with automated rebuilds with CircleCI, Contentful as a decoupled CMS, Auth0 for authentication, and Snipcart as an e-Commerce as a Service provider. Join David as he shares how to create an architecture from interconnected services.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Ring Any Bells?
• You manage a Web service or create
departmental Web pages
• Your job was fun once, but now it's difficult to
keep on top the job
• You need extra resources, but can’t get them
• Your good Unix systems staff have left for $$$$
• There is a software solution, but it's expensive
• You tried to install the 14 day evaluation version,
but couldn't get it to work
• When you eventually got it to work, your PC
wasn't powerful enough to run it
• You can't afford an upgrade to your PC

An Answer To The
Webmaster's Prayer?
A solution may be available:
• A solution which is free (in many cases)
• A solution which requires no software installation
• A solution which requires no investment in
hardware
• A solution which exploits the network – and
keeps UKERNA in business
The solution is deployment of externally-hosted Web
services
Sounds great? But will it mean
outsourcing your IT department?

What Do We Mean?
Remember HTML Validation services:
• Enter a URL into a Web
form and check it validates
• Add an image if your page
is valid HTML
• Link the page to the
validation for on-the-fly
validation - an externally-
hosted web service
Another example is the hit counterAnother example is the hit counter

What edge of this spectrum
are you closest to?
Sorry I'm indecisive.
I can't decide.
Your View So Far
Sounds great, no software to install, available
for free. What else can be done in this way?
No way! I don't want to be reliant on anyone
else. Besides, I'll be out of a job if this idea
takes off – this is out-sourcing.

Issues
Many externally-hosted web services are available, but:
• What about the dependencies of the network(s)?
• What about the reliance of the third-party? Will
the company stay in business?
• The interface isn't as rich as desktop applications
• If the service is funded by advertising revenue,
with use contravene the JANET AUP?
• Will large-scale use of such services generate
large network bills?
• Is my data secure and private?
• Is my data reusable and available in an open
format?
• Is is sensible for a mission-critical service?

RDN Include
The Resource Discovery Network Centre (RDNC)
coordinates the work of RDN hubs, such as SOSIG,
EEVL, BIOME, etc.
Institutions may be reluctant to link to hubs as they
want users to stay on the

The RDNC is
developing the RDN-I

give the appearance
that the hub is located

The DNER
The DNER:
• JISC-funded initiative managed by Lorcan Dempsey
• Distributed National Electronic Resource
• Seamless access from institutions to national
resources (MIMAS, BIDS, EDINA, etc)
• Based on intelligent server software (broker) and
support for standards (XML, Dublin Core, Z39.50,
etc.)
• An example of Business-to-Business application
JISC's vision for the DNER has many
similarities to the externally-hosted Web
services we have seen, but based on open
standards.

What About The Users?
"I use the external services because the University
doesn't allow me access to install on the server and
because it doesn't make any appropriate tools
available."
Tom Wilson, Department of Information Studies,
University of Sheffield
"Our search facility is currently hosted by atomz.com ,
some calendering by Yahoo!, so I'm increasingly drawn
to externally hosted solutions... more time to catch up
on other, more pressing work, until they all stop
working."
Ian Usher, Webmonger, Department of Geography, UCL
At one university 60% of UGs arrived with a HotMail account,
which they used in preference to the University email account.
• Should the university support use of HotMail?
• Can they afford not to?
• What will happen when they arrive with a calendar service?

Conclusions
Externally hosted web services:
• Are available in many different areas
• Arguments against their use (reliability, privacy,
trust, performance) should diminish as they mature
• Their usability will improve as W3C developments
(DOM, XHTML, SVG) become more available
• Your user community will use them (are using
them) in any case
• Of particular interest to the FE community?
• Will we see a move towards use of Application
Service Providers (ASPs)?
• A valuable resource for the Web Manager
• What "the Joined-Up Web" is about?
