Modern applications rely on microservices to remain scalable and efficient. Kubernetes provides the perfect environment for microservices to exist and work together with the tools and features it offers. As each part of the application gets placed in a container, the system as a whole becomes more scalable.
Startups face extreme amounts of uncertainty and challenges when their web applications’ user-base multiplies. They need to be flexible in their choices, such as choosing the right framework, database, and architecture besides building the right team. What’s more, unlike enterprises, startups have only limited time to scale. Even worse, if they are fortunate enough, they might need to scale their capacity tenfold in a few months.
To understand the nuts and bolts of web scalability, we spoke to some experts and asked for their tips on improving web scalability. Here’s what they said…
Java is a general-purpose language that follows the object-oriented programming style with a Write-Once-Run-Anywhere approach to development. It was designed for an interface with Internet-enabled devices, and over the course of the last two decades, this particular design choice has ensured Java’s relevance in the developer community.
Even now, in 2019, Java is ubiquitous and often used to develop virtually everywhere and on every platform; from smartphones and Android devices to websites, video games, cars, and even IoT devices.
"Microservices," the way it stands, is becoming a must-have for a lot of enterprises. It is being touted as the main component if you are leading a digital transformation journey. System integrators are having a field day calling themselves microservices experts. At the end of the day, 90% of implementations are going to fail. Why?
Because microservices by themselves are not the silver bullet. It is excellent armor, but by no means the only piece that you need to convert your legacy monolith — which, by the way, has seen the business grow leaps and bounds — into a lean, modern microservices architecture which will make your digital transformation journey successful. It is going to ruin a lot of C-level reputations.
