Best On-Premises Microservices Tools

Kubernetes (K8s) is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It groups containers that make up an application into logical units for easy management and discovery. Kubernetes builds upon 15 years of experience of running production workloads at Google, combined with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the community. Designed on the same principles that allows Google to run billions of containers a week, Kubernetes can scale without increasing your ops team. Whether testing locally or running a global enterprise, Kubernetes flexibility grows with you to deliver your applications consistently and easily no matter how complex your need is. Kubernetes is open source giving you the freedom to take advantage of on-premises, hybrid, or public cloud infrastructure, letting you effortlessly move workloads to where it matters to you.

We’re thrilled to announce that Software Tree has won a 2021 DEVIES Award in the code frameworks/libraries category for its innovative Gilhari microservice framework. Gilhari makes it easy for developers to quickly develop high-performance, database-agnostic, and Docker-compatible RESTful applications that need to interact with JSON data in cloud or on-premises. The object-oriented world and the relational world are conceptually different. Manually writing the verbose mapping logic to bridge the gap between the object-oriented and relational artifacts is tedious and time-consuming. Software Tree’s ORM technology frameworks are lightweight in their design and implementation and provide a lightweight feel in their usage. The lightweight aspects of our ORM technology do not compromise on its power and functionality, though. This results in faster development and deployment of modern applications that require flexible object-oriented access to relational data.

An extendable, simple and stateless high-performance API Gateway framework designed for both cloud-native and on-prem setups. Consumers of REST API content (especially in microservices) often query backend services that weren’t coded for the UI implementation. This is of course a good practice, but the UI consumers need to do implementations that suffer a lot of complexity and burden with the sizes of their microservices responses. Lura is an API Gateway builder and proxy generator that sits between the client and all the source servers, adding a new layer that removes all the complexity to the clients, providing them only the information that the UI needs. Lura acts as an aggregator of many sources into single endpoints and allows you to group, wrap, transform and shrink responses. Additionally, it supports a myriad of middlewares and plugins that allow you to extend the functionality, such as adding Oauth authorization or security layers.

Serverless functions, made simple. OpenFaaS® makes it simple to deploy both functions and existing code to Kubernetes. Avoid lock-in through the use of Docker. Run-on any public or private cloud. Build both microservices & functions in any language. Legacy code and binaries. Auto-scale for demand or to zero when idle. Bring your laptop, your own on-prem hardware, or create a cluster in the cloud. Let Kubernetes do the heavy lifting enabling you to build a scalable, fault-tolerant event-driven serverless platform for your applications. You can try out OpenFaaS in 60 seconds or write and deploy your first Python function in around 10-15 minutes. From there you can take the OpenFaaS workshop, a series of tried-and-tested self-paced labs which teach you everything you need to know about functions, and more. An ecosystem for sharing, reusing, and collaborating on functions. Reduce boilerplate code, and share code in the templates store.
