In this WebHack talk I shared my experience about microservices, Docker, Kubernetes and Kong, an API gateway by Mashape. Since they are based on a real working system, this slides is majorly for how to build the whole thing up, not about detailed internal implementation. Although I included some details and reference in order to make it more comprehensive.
A brief overview of the significance of API Gateways in microservices architecture by providing Kong as an example.
Slide 2: Monolith Vs Microservices
Monolith:
Pros-
Simple to implement
Less integration test - easy to test
Easy to ship
Fast development
Cons-
Violates Open-Close principle
Nightmare when it comes to managing the code
Difficult to enhance
Bigger artifacts
Hard to replace individual components like DB, Logger etc.
Microservices-
Pros-
Easy to manage
One reason to change
Dynamic scaling
Single responsibility
Cons-
Multiple points of failure
Hard to test - rich integration tests required
Heterogeneity in infrastructure
Slide 3: API Gateway Pattern
It is microservices design pattern.
An API gateway is a service which is the entry point into the application from the outside world. It’s responsible for request routing, API composition, and other functions, such as authentication.
There are a lot of issues when client is talking to multiple components to get the job done. These include multiple proxies at client side, different logic to handle different calls, client needs to know the implementation details of server.
A much better approach is for a client to make a single request to what’s known as an API gateway. An API gateway is a service which is the single entry-point for API requests into an application. It’s similar to the Facade pattern from object-oriented design. Like a facade, an API gateway encapsulates the application’s internal architecture and provides an API to its clients. It might also have other responsibilities, such as authentication, monitoring, and rate limiting.
These are also termed as BFF - Backend For Frontend
Slide 4: API Gateway in Action
It acts as a “backend for the frontend”. The clients do not know which services they are talking to. They communicate with a single interface - API Gateway. The gateway resolves the client requests and distributes them to respective services.
Slide 7: Kong Architecture
Kong is a cloud-native, fast, scalable, and distributed Microservice Abstraction Layer (also known as an API Gateway, API Middleware or in some cases Service Mesh). Made available as an open-source project in 2015, its core values are high performance and extensibility.
Actively maintained, Kong is widely used in production at companies ranging from startups to Global 5000 as well as government organizations.
Talk given at OpenResty Con 2017 in Beijing.
Kong (https://getkong.org) is a widely-adopted open source API Gateway built with OpenResty. It aims at helping secure, manage, and extend microservices-based architectures with minimal effort from the user, while ensuring platform agnosticism.
In this talk, we will explore the challenges we encountered developing such an OpenResty application, and how we overcame many of them by way of libraries and contributions back to the OpenResty community. We will cover topics such as clustering OpenResty nodes, inter-workers communication, DNS resolution, typical pitfalls OpenResty developers should avoid, and much more.
Irfan Baqui, Senior Engineer at LunchBadger, breaks down the important role of the API Gateway in Microservices. Additionally, Irfan covers how to get started with Express Gateway, an open source API Gateway built entirely on Express.js. Originally presented at the San Francisco Node Meetup.

NGINX.conf 2016 - Fail in order to succeed ! Designing Microservices for fail...Dragos Dascalita Haut
If you didn’t fail with microservices at least once you didn’t really try anything new! Even though microservices are an established architectural style in the industry, they still come with their own challenges.
This session from nginx.conf 2016 focuses on a topic that is usually overlooked in the early stages of building a microservices architecture: traffic management. It comes into the picture after we fail an SLA, whether the cause is a misbehaving client, a legitimate increase of traffic, or a DDoS attack. We then start asking questions like how to ensure a fair usage policy for clients across microservices, how to protect clients from an abusive peer that is generating a spike in traffic, and how to protect microservices themselves from abusive clients.
NGINX comes with options for rate limiting that usually work great for a single node. Extending NGINX's capabilities to distributed environments increases the complexity of the solution. Can rate limiting be applied transparently without visible impact on latency? Is it easy to scale? Is it reliable? In this session, Adobe's Dragos Dascalita Haut introduces an open source solution contributed by Adobe I/O and used with success in real-life scenarios. The solution is based on an asynchronous communication model that supports high-throughput scenarios with minimum impact on latency. If you've had similar problems in the past or if you're concerned about how clients interact with your microservices then this session is for you.
About the webinar
The use of an API gateway and the move to microservices are two of the most important trends in application development. But are they similar, or different; complementary, or contradictory? In this webinar, we discuss the advantages of an API gateway, the advantages of microservices development, and how and when they can work together.
The NGINX Microservices Reference Architecture (MRA) uses three different network architectures, with service mesh as a fourth. We describe how an API gateway relates to each of these network architectures and how to reduce rework if your application needs to evolve from one architecture to another.

OSDC 2018 | Three years running containers with Kubernetes in Production by T...NETWAYS
The talk gives a state of the art update of experiences with deploying applications in Kubernetes on scale. If in clouds or on premises, Kubernetes took over the leading role as a container operating system. The central paradigm of stateless containers connected to storage and services is the core of Kubernetes. However, it can be extended to distributed databases, Machine Learning, Windows VMs in Kubernetes. All these applications have been considered as edge cases a few years ago, however, are going more and more mainstream today.
In this session we will talk about the history of NGINX and NGINX Plus and the role it has played in the development of the internet.
We will discuss some of the most recent changes and additions to the popular software project and touch base on some planned feature enhancements coming in the next months

Abstract
There is a lot of debate whether to use Serverless or Kubernetes to build cloud-native apps. Both have their advantages and unique capabilities which developers should take into consideration when planning new projects. We will throw some light on the topics ease of use, maturity, types of scenarios, developer productivity and debugging, supported languages, DevOps and monitoring, performance, community and pricing. Cloud-native architectures shift the complexity from within an application to orchestrations of Microservices. Both Kubernetes and Serverless have their strengths which we will discuss. Besides the core development topics, developers should also understand operational aspects how complicated it is to maintain your own systems versus using managed platforms.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
