"PORTAINER IS AN OPEN-SOURCE LIGHTWEIGHT MANAGEMENT UI WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO EASILY MANAGE YOUR DOCKER HOSTS OR SWARM CLUSTERS

AVAILABLE ON LINUX, WINDOWS & OSX"

"Nowadays, Microservices is one of the most popular buzz-word in the field of software architecture. There are quite a lot of learning materials on the fundamentals and the benefits of microservices, but there are very few resources on how you can use microservices in the real world enterprise scenarios.

In this post, I’m planning to cover the key architectural concepts of the Microservices Architecture(MSA) and how you can use those architectural principles in practice.

"Jaeger, inspired by Dapper and OpenZipkin, is a distributed tracing system released as open source by Uber Technologies. It can be used for monitoring microservice-based architectures:

Distributed context propagation Distributed transaction monitoring Root cause analysis Service dependency analysis Performance / latency optimization"

"Zipkin is a distributed tracing system. It helps gather timing data needed to troubleshoot latency problems in microservice architectures. It manages both the collection and lookup of this data. Zipkin’s design is based on the Google Dapper paper.

Applications are instrumented to report timing data to Zipkin. The Zipkin UI also presents a Dependency diagram showing how many traced requests went through each application. If you are troubleshooting latency problems or errors, you can filter or sort all traces based on the application, length of trace, annotation, or timestamp. Once you select a trace, you can see the percentage of the total trace time each span takes which allows you to identify the problem application."

"If you are a fellow PHP developer just like me you're probably aware of the following fact: PHP really SUCKS in long running tasks.

When using RabbitMQ with pure PHP consumers you have to deal with stability issues. Probably you are killing your consumers regularly just like me. And try to solve the problem with supervisord. Which also means on every deploy you have to restart your consumers. A little bit dramatic if you ask me.

This library aims at PHP developers solving the above described problem with RabbitMQ. Why don't let the polling over to a language as Go which is much better suited to run long running tasks."

"Pouch is an open-source project created by Alibaba Group to promote the container technology movement.

Pouch can pack, deliver and run any application. It provides the environment for applications with strong isolation in quite lightweight way. Pouch not only splits the application itself from the underlying environment, but also has ability to remain the good experience of operation.

The ambition of Pouch is embracing container ecosystem and perfecting container standards OCI(Open Container Initiative). With the ability Pouch provides, people can spend less energy transforming applications to be cloud native."

"We provide you with details about every threat , including every step hacker did since he landed on your web application what type of browser & os he uses and where is he came from. Also what he did on your website to find a weakness and hist attempts to exploit this weakness.

That insights help you to find weakness and vulnerabilities faster."

"container-diff is a tool for analyzing and comparing container images. container-diff can examine images along several different criteria, including:

Docker Image History Image file system Apt packages pip packages npm packages These analyses can be performed on a single image, or a diff can be performed on two images to compare. The tool can help users better understand what is changing inside their images, and give them a better look at what their images contain."
