Enterprise-Grade Cloud Storage with NGINX Plus and Minio This is a guest blog post by Nitish Tiwari, a software developer for Minio, a distributed object storage server specialized for cloud applications and the DevOps approach to app development and delivery. Nitish’s interests include software‑based infrastructure, especially storage and distributed systems. In this post, Nitish explains how to use NGINX and NGINX Plus as a reverse proxy and load balancer for Minio servers. The post applies equally to NGINX and NGINX Plus; for brevity it refers to NGINX Plus only. Designing Object Storage Almost all applications need storage, but different apps need and use storage in particular ways. Take for example, a document store: it might not need to serve frequent read requests when small, but needs to scale as time progresses.

Get the Hands‑On Guide to CD with Java and Docker in this Free O’Reilly Report For more than 21 years Java has been a workhorse in the IT industry. Java has become the all‑purpose programming language used to create large monolithic enterprise applications. But as enterprises move towards microservices, which involves breaking down application logic into smaller components, does Java still have a place? Though it may seem like a strange mix at first, combining battle‑hardened Java with emerging technologies like Docker and continuous delivery (CD) can make Java a powerful tool in microservices‑based application environments. In this exclusive free O’Reilly report, industry veteran Daniel Bryant provides a practical guide to combining Java with the latest technologies to get the best of both worlds. He covers, in thorough detail, how to containerize Java applications, fit them into CD pipelines, and monitor them [ more… ]
