VSHN.timer #201: Μονόλιθοι στο Κυβερνήτης

Welcome to another VSHN.timer! Every Monday, 5 links related to Kubernetes, OpenShift, CI / CD, and DevOps; all stuff coming out of our own chat system, making us think, laugh, or simply work better.

This week we’re going to talk about how monolithic architectures are doing a comeback in 2023.

1. This is by far one of the most shared articles of the month, and with reason. The trend towards microservices has seen its share of disasters. What can we do next? The creator of Friendly Fire, Andrei Taranchenko, analyzes the situation.

2. This post introduces three potential reference architectures based on existing Couchbase use cases to demonstrate how Red Hat OpenShift and Couchbase Capella can collaborate within your enterprise cloud environment.

3. Twitch.tv. Discord.gg. Github.io. Three memorable addresses for three major websites that all have something in common: iconic URLs from small territories. Here are 10 country code domains that have a life well beyond their own borders–and why they are in demand.

4. The Domain Name System (DNS) root zone will soon be getting a new record type, called ZONEMD, to further ensure the security, stability, and resiliency of the global DNS in the face of emerging new approaches to DNS operation.

5. Microservices and JSON much? Then give fx a try; it’s a tool written in Go to visualize and explore JSON data interactively in the command line. Think jq with steroids.
