Back to Monoliths

Fri, 19 May 2023 00:00:00 +0200

So Amazon Prime Video (of all people!) published a blog post about how they’re returning to monoliths, relayed by DHH, generating lots of noise, to the point that even Dr. Werner Vogels himself, CTO at Amazon, had to pour some thoughts about the subject.

Reusing Apps Between Teams and Environments Through Containers

Fri, 26 Aug 2022 00:00:00 +0200

This was my speech for the WeAreDevelopers Container Day on February 3rd, 2021. The talk will feature a live demo showing how to build, optimize, and distribute containers to be reused in as many environments as possible, 100% based on the experience of the VSHN team.

GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab; they are not the only solutions available to share Git repos with your friends and colleagues. I’ve been playing with Gitea recently, and it’s a really cool alternative, written in Go. Here’s a quick way to test it.

Notes About "Cloud Without Compromise"

Fri, 12 Nov 2021 00:00:00 +0100

I’ve been reading “Cloud Without Compromise: Hybrid Cloud for the Enterprise” by Paul Zikopoulos and Christopher Bienko. I think it’s a brilliant book; concise, easy to read, funny, and a great resource for non-technical people who would like to understand how the modern “Cloud” works. Highly recommended.

Kubernetes for Non Technical Readers

Fri, 01 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0200

If you work in the tech field, the word “Kubernetes” is all over the place these days; for those new to the subject, it can be very confusing to understand what it is, what it does, and why it is so important to so many people.

Last weekend I decided to learn Vagrant to build a simple k3s Kubernetes cluster on top of a set of VirtualBox virtual machines.

Amazon EKS Anywhere

I’ve been playing lately with Amazon EKS Anywhere, the Kubernetes distribution used by EKS that you can install in your own premises. It works pretty well and makes for a very decent alternative to Minikube, K3s and other similar “Kubernetes-in-your-laptop” packages.
