Building hybrid applications with the WebView2 developer preview

2019-06-19 KENNETH 0

Building hybrid applications with the WebView2 developer preview Last month at Build, we introduced the new WebView2 coming to Windows, powered by the upcoming Chromium-based Microsoft Edge. Today, we’re releasing a new update to the WebView2 SDK, and with it we’re ready to encourage a broader set of app developers to try the WebView2 preview and give us early feedback. The WebView 2 preview has a limited scope, with support for an initial set of Win32 C++ APIs on Windows 10. Support for other Windows versions (Windows 7+ and Windows Server 2012 R2+) and UWP/WFP/WinForms support will become available in the future. Learn more about WebView2 in our session from Build 2019: “Moving the web forward with Microsoft Edge“ With today’s SDK updates, WebView2 addresses a number of popular requests we heard during the initial preview, including supporting 32-bit WebView [ more… ]

OpenTracing for NGINX and NGINX Plus

2019-06-18 KENNETH 0

OpenTracing for NGINX and NGINX Plus For all its benefits, a microservices architecture also introduces new complexities. One is the challenge of tracking requests as they are processed, with data flowing among all the microservices that make up the application. A new methodology called distributed (request) tracing has been invented for this purpose, and OpenTracing is a specification and standard set of APIs intended to guide design and implementation of distributed tracing tools. In NGINX Plus Release 18 (R18), we added the NGINX OpenTracing module to our dynamic modules repository (it has been available as a third‑party module on GitHub for a couple of years now). A big advantage of the NGINX OpenTracing module is that by instrumenting NGINX and NGINX Plus for distributed tracing you get tracing data for every proxied application, without having to instrument the applications individually.
