No matter the metric, serverless is definitely gaining interest. It’s the dream of every developer, supplying the ability to deploy services in the cloud in no time, automatically scale them, enjoy automagic management by a cloud provider—and, most important, keep it all cost effective! How does this dream become a reality?

This presentation covered what serverless is all about and the benefits of running your apps in the serverless environment. It covers the monoliths-microservices-functions progression and when, where, and why to use serverless architecture and how Project Flogo fits in to the overall picture

Innovation at the edge is driven by a whole host of people and personalities, but who makes sure those innovations get into production? Developers!

Join Leon Stigter, developer advocate at TIBCO, as he demonstrates tools and technologies to help developers build better software, faster.

This TIBCO Tech Talk covers:

• The latest in updates for Project Flogo, an open-source and ultra-lightweight edge computing platform
• A brief demo of Flogo and API Scout
• How to jumpstart your developer journey

In today’s world everyone is building apps, most times those apps are event-driven and react to what happens around them. How do you take those apps to, let’s say, a Kubernetes cluster, or let them communicate between cloud and on-premises, and how can developers and non-developers work together using the same tools?

Developers want to build better software faster, I don’t think any developer would disagree on that and with the release of Go 1.11 a long-awaited (and debated) feature became available, Go modules! With that amazing addition to the Go language, you can now really have repeatable builds because all the information is put in a single go.mod file and during the build the Go compiler will get all the right versions for you.

As a developer advocate, I’m in the amazing position to talk to lots and lots of developers. Throughout those conversations I hear a lot of the same concerns popping up. Two of those being, “where did I deploy that microservice?” 😩 and “what is the API definition of that microservice again?"😟

Not too long ago Flogo introduced a new Go API that allows you to build event-driven apps by simply embedding the Flogo engine in your existing Go code. Now you can use the event-driven engine of Flogo to build Go apps while using the activities and triggers that already exist and combining that with “regular” Go code.

I can hear you think “Part 2?! So there actually is a part 1?” 😱 The answer to that is, yes, there most definitely is a part 1 (but you can safely ignore that 😅). In that part I went over deploying Flogo apps that you built with the Flogo Web UI using the Serverless Framework. Now, with the Go API that we added to Flogo, you can mix triggers and activities from Flogo (and the awesome community) with your regular Go code and… deploy using the Serverless Framework

I got a ton of great feedback on my post Securely Chatting Microservices, so I decided to create a video out of it and start a new video series called Flynn in Flight!

The cute mascot, Flynn Building microservices is awesome, having them talk to each other is even more awesome! But in today’s world, you can’t be too careful when it comes to sending sensitive data across the wire. Last week I was at PubNub for a Meetup where, together with Jordan Schuetz and Nicholas Grenié, we spoke about cool things you can do with PubNub. One of them is using PubNub as a messaging layer to have your microservices, built with Flogo (duh), talk to each other in a secure way. In this blog, I’ll go over the steps to build those microservices and hook them up using PubNub.
