Banking on Thousands of Microservices
Lessons learned building a banking platform, starting from technological choices like using Cassandra and Kubernetes in the early days to maintain the speed of execution through platform engineering and developer experience. With some mistakes and incidents along the way.

The Great Lambda Migration to Kubernetes Jobs—a Journey in Three Parts
In this article, I’d like to share our journey at Firefly on a great migration from serverless to Kubernetes jobs, lessons learned, and the technologies that helped us do so with minimal pain.

Containers and Serverless—Rivals or Cohorts?
This article will try to decode these technologies and explore how developers should consider containers or serverless functions within their tech stack. For example, if your application has a longer startup time, then a container would suit the need better. Highly efficient stateless functions that need to scale up and down massively would benefit from running serverless functions.

Article Series: Developing Apache Kafka applications on Kubernetes
Apache Kafka has integrations with most of the languages used these days, but in this article series, we cover its integration with Java. In this series, we also discuss how to provision, configure and secure an Apache Kafka cluster on a Kubernetes cluster.

Securing a Kafka Cluster in Kubernetes Using Strimzi
Deploying an Apache Kafka cluster to Kubernetes is easy if you use Strimzi, but that’s only the first step; you need to secure the communication between Kafka and the consumers and producers, provide RBAC to access topics, spread the secrets correctly to Kafka Connect components and all using a Kubernetes GitOps way.

Create Your Distributed Database on Kubernetes with Existing Monolithic Databases
The next challenge for databases is to run them on Kubernetes to become cloud neutral. However, they are more difficult to manage than the application layer, since Kubernetes is designed for stateless applications. Apache ShardingSphere is the ecosystem to transform any database into a distributed database system and enhance it with sharding, elastic scaling, encryption features, and more.

Why Observability Is the Key to Unlocking GitOps
In a GitOps work process, Git is the single source of truth for the system’s intended state. Observability can provide the missing piece: the single source of truth for the system’s actual state.

Polyglot Microservices Communication Using Dapr on AKS
Dapr is a useful tool for solving several challenges engineers might face. It allows engineering organizations to gain productivity by training developers on a common set of tools and techniques. It also helps adopt standardization in development, deployment, and debugging.

Moving Kafka and Debezium to Kubernetes Using Strimzi - the GitOps Way
Deploying an Apache Kafka cluster to a Kubernetes is not an easy task. There are a lot of pieces to configure like the zookeeper, the Kafka cluster, topics, and users. Strimzi is a Kubernetes controller making the deployment process of Kafka a child game. Moreover, Strimzi lets you manage Kafka using GitOps methodology as everything is executed using a Kubernetes YAML file.

Choosing the Right Cloud Infrastructure for Your SaaS Start-up
As a solutions architect, I have been designing SaaS applications for years and I have seen start-ups struggle to find the right cloud infrastructure and improve their product offering. These experiences prompted me to write this article as a tool to help companies make a pragmatic fact and data-driven decision.
