NGINX and DevOps Methodologies Go Hand in Hand DevOps has seen explosive growth recently, as organizations look to deliver releases and features faster by automating operations with an Infrastructure as Code approach. This shift in the industry is making for some very interesting transformations, both in how organizations deploy applications and what is expected from IT operations. DevOps plays a big role, not just in the delivery of infrastructure, but in the application deployment process itself. Many times, DevOps and development go hand in hand, with infrastructure deployed for the sole purpose of developing an application pipeline. The lifecycle of an application has become nimbler with the adoption of modern deployment methodologies, and NGINX can provide flexibility to enhance this process. Hardware appliances for application delivery are traditionally fairly static and don’t lend themselves well to the agility that is [ more… ]

Making Microservices More Resilient with Chaos Engineering Microservices have become a very popular pattern for teams that develop and deploy services. Using microservices gives developers a smaller, more focused codebase to work with, and more independence in when and how they deploy their service. These are big advantages over using a monolith. There is no such thing as a free lunch, however. Complexity doesn’t disappear when you transition from monolith to microservices – it just shifts around a bit. Development of an indivdual microservice is easier because of the smaller codebase, but operating microservices in production can become exponentially more complex. There are likely many more hosts and/or containers running in a system built with microservices – more load balancers, more firewall rules, etc. You might be using NGINX for different purposes (web serving, reverse proxying, load balancing) for different microservices.
