Pattern: Service Mesh

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/06/19

I need to re-read this: [WayBackPattern: Service Mesh

Via [WayBack] What is a Service Mesh? What is the purpose of Istio? – The Isoblog. /[Archive.is] What is a Service Mesh? What is the purpose of Istio in Kubernetes? … – Kristian Köhntopp – Google+:

An article by Phil Calçado explains the Container Pattern “Service Mesh” and why one would want that in a really nice way.

Phil uses early networking as an example, and explains how common functionality needed in all applications was abstracted out of the application code and moved into the network stack, forming the TCP flow control layer we have in todays networking.

A similar thing is happening with other functionality that all services that do a form of remote procedure call have to have, and we are moving this into a different layer. He then gives examples of the ongoing evolution of that layer, from Finagle and Proxygen through Synapse and Nerve, Prana, Eureka and Linkerd. Envoy and the resulting Istio project of CNCF are the current result of that development, but the topic is under research, still.

Home – Outpan – GTIN to product attribute mapping

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/04/26

On my research list: Home – Outpan as it is a key-value store of EAN (actually GTIN, so including GS1 UPC, EAN which means barcodes like UPC-12, EAN-8, EAN-13 and ITF-14).

  • [WayBackGlobal Trade Item Number – Wikipedia
  • [WayBackAPI Documentation – Outpan Developers

    Legacy API

    Get Product Information

    GET https://api.outpan.com/v2/products/[GTIN]?apikey=[YOUR API KEY]


    Add Product Name

    POST https://api.outpan.com/v2/products/[GTIN]/name?apikey=[YOUR API KEY]

    Required POST parameters:

    name: The name you would like to add for this product.


    Add Product Attribute

    POST https://api.outpan.com/v2/products/[GTIN]/attribute?apikey=[YOUR API KEY]

    Required POST parameters:

    name: Name of the attribute you would like to add for this product.

    value: Value for the attribute you would like to add for this product.


    • [GTIN] is the barcode number (ISBN, EAN, UPC, …) of the product you’re looking up.
    • All API calls must be done via HTTPS. Plain HTTP calls will be rejected.

Sometimes clouds vaporise: the Docker Cloud shuts down in ~8 weeks.

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/26

From [WayBackDocker – Docker Cloud Migration Notification and FAQs:

The services on Docker Cloud that provide application, node, and swarm cluster management will be shutting down on May 21.

If you do not migrate by May 21, your applications running on the Docker node cluster management service will cease to operate.

Swarms will continue to function; however, if you do not retrieve your SSH keys for the Swarms being managed by our swarm cluster management service, you will be unable to access your swarms using your Docker ID. For instructions on how to retrieve and access your Swarms with SSH keys, please refer to the Docker docs.

So soon, no more [WayBack] Docker Cloud – Build, Ship and Run any App, Anywhere.

Remember: still the cloud is other peoples computers, so be sure you can move when needed.
