PaaSTA: Running applications at Yelp

PaaSTA, Yelp's platform as a service (PaaS) built on top of open source tools, provides tooling for developers to quickly turn their microservice into a monitored, highly available application spanning multiple data centers and cloud regions. Nathan Handler outlines the technologies that power PaaSTA and discusses how Yelp uses PaaSTA to empower developers and solve key problems.

PaaSTA, Yelp’s platform as a service (PaaS) built on top of open­ source tools, including Docker, Mesos, Marathon, and Chronos, provides tooling for developers to quickly turn their microservice into a monitored, highly available application spanning multiple data centers and cloud regions. Nathan Handler outlines the technologies that power PaaSTA, discusses how Yelp has glued these together to give developers control without burdening them with the complexities of the infrastructure, and shares the workflow used by developers to update and maintain their services on PaaSTA.

Rethinking security from the ground up with a microservices mindset

November 6, 2019

Recent high-profile data breaches have made it clear that traditional security based on n-tier application partitioning is broken. As we move into the container era, there is a huge opportunity to revolutionize security by rendering developer intent directly into the network fabric. Andrew Randall presents an open source approach to this problem, leveraging proven IP networking and Linux concepts.

There is much more to Docker than just deploying your flagship application. Carolyn VanSlyck, Ash Wilson, and Nick Silkey look at three use cases for Docker that go beyond the typical software development pipeline. You'll leave knowing how you can use Docker on the side, even if you haven't tackled Dockerizing your application.

Dont build Death Star security: Maintaining agility and security in distributed and microservice architectures

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.

AWS, Azure, and GCP all provision clusters differently. Docker, Kubernetes, and Mesos are seeking to simplify that process but haven't fully delivered on that promise. Ben Lackey and Boris Baryshnikov explain the best way to provision with the tools available today as we wait for the perfect orchestration layer to arrive.
