Securing Microservices and APIs with NGINX and Signal Sciences When you break apart the monolith to move to microservices architectures, you have to secure the components A shift is happening in the industry. Monolithic web applications are being decomposed into microservices. By breaking up applications into small, decoupled services, developers are able to independently change components of their application. This architectural approach can have a ripple effect that drastically shrinks the total time to deliver changes and simultaneously reduces risk. Generally, the move to microservices is paired with the cultural shift to Agile and DevOps. These cultural movements have filtered through many organizations, breaking down silos that once impaired delivery. Microservices pulls apart once-dependent systems and allows teams to move faster in all stages, from development to runtime operations. The move to microservices impacts development, performance, monitoring and — as [ more… ]

A few of the topics Kevin and Seth will be discussing are the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update SDK, what we’ll have at the Microsoft Ignite conference, modernizing your application and some exciting programming demos. We learned a lot from our first Windows community standup and will hold monthly Windows community standups to provide additional transparency on what we are building out, and clarity on why we are building them. These stand ups may be tied to an event like Microsoft Build or on Channel 9. We’ll be testing different streaming technologies and interaction models to see what works best. We would love feedback on [ more… ]

Announcing General Availability of NGINX Amplify Have you been using NGINX, but still don’t have real insights into its performance? Ever wonder whether a configuration snippet copied from somewhere is a valid one? Did you ever have issues with SSL configuration in NGINX? Do you want to make NGINX run even better? Or maybe you’ve just been looking around for the simplest and quickest way to set up cloud monitoring for your LEMP stack? (Where the “E” in “LEMP” stems from “eNGINe‑X” ?) A little over a year ago, we announced the public beta of NGINX Amplify – our own specialized, free monitoring tool for NGINX and NGINX Plus. Today, we’re super excited to be removing the beta status for Amplify – it’s now generally available (GA) for NGINX and NGINX Plus users. Amplify is production‑ready, supported, and has a free‑tier monitoring plan. Existing [ more… ]
