Kubernetes API is growing day by day and they are adding new features every day. The latest feature they added was DaemonSet. Although they had ReplicaSet, DaemonSet is the K8 object they added. Let’s see the difference. ReplicasSet will ensure that the number of pods (defined in our config file) is always running in our cluster. Does not matter in which worker node they are Continue Reading

TDD: What & How?

Mahesh ChandDecember 24, 2018Scala, scalatest, XPAgile, extreme programming, Software craftsmanship, test driven development

Programming is like exploring a dark house. You go from room to room to room. Writing the test is like turning on the light. Then you can avoid the table, furniture and save your shins i.e resulting clean design from refactoring. Then you are ready to explore the next room. There is famous saying in software development that If it isn’t tested, it’s already broken. Continue Reading

When deciding between both patterns, it’s important to bear in mind your business Continue Reading

A Beginner’s Guide to Deploying a Lagom Microservice on Kubernetes

Himanshu GuptaDecember 5, 2018Java, Lagom, Reactive Programming, Scalakubernetes, minikube

Both Lagom and Kubernetes are gaining popularity quite fast. Lagom is an open source framework for building reactive microservice systems in Java/Scala. And, Kubernetes (or K8s in short) is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. Together they make an excellent stack for developing Reactive microservices of production grade. We have already seen a lot of blogs on Lagom on this Continue Reading

We have already explored the introduction to FP in my previous blog. Once you get into FP, you’ll quickly start hearing the terms lambda and lambda calculus. Lambda: Lambda is basically just a symbol represented as λ that Alonzo Church chose when he first defined the concept of a function. In modern functional programming, lambda means “anonymous function“. Calculus: Calculus is means a formal system in mathematical logic for expressing Continue Reading
