Death Star security describes a system that relies entirely on an outermost security layer and fails catastrophically when breached. David Strauss explores security methods strong enough to cross the public Internet, flexible enough to allow new services without altering existing systems, and robust enough to avoid single points of failure.

Unikernel-powered transient microservices: Changing the face of software architecture

October 29, 2019

For years, software architects have worked with the idea that services are necessarily persistent: they must start and sit idle until they are needed. But lightweight, powerful microservices built on unikernels now allow services to appear precisely when needed and disappear when the need passes. Russell Pavlicek reviews unikernels and explains how they will change software architecture.
