AMIS Oracle OpenWorld en Code One Review 2018 - Blockchain, Integration, Serverless & Microservices

Editor's Notes

• #6: It is a digital system of recording transactions of assets in a list that is replicated across available nodes in the network, rather than being stored in a central data store (i.e. traditional databases).  The ledger records ALL transactions that are submitted to the blockchain. It holds the raw data part of the transaction and some information on the node or participant that submitted the transaction. The more evolved blockchains also keep a separated key/value database with the current state of an asset (the latest values). In many cases, the transactions will result in a smart contract function execution which verifies the request data and prepares the result data for storage.  The data is distributed to all nodes in a trustless manner using a decentralized peer-to-peer protocol in near real-time.  It uses a combination of digital signatures and cryptography to prove your identity and authenticity, and to enforce read/write and execute permissions (access rights). This makes it possible to permit write access to certain participants, and read access to certain participants or a wider audience, for example everybody. Each node individually processes and verifies every transaction redundantly, bundles the verified transactions into a block, and broadcasts them to all other nodes in the network. Using a consensus mechanism the block of transactions is validated by other nodes, in which to majority has to approve the block, before it becomes final and is added to the blockchain.
• #54: CloudEvents is a specification for describing event data in a common way The Cloud Native Computing Foundation builds sustainable ecosystems and fosters a community around a constellation of high-quality projects that orchestrate containers as part of a microservices architecture. It serves as the vendor-neutral home for many of the fastest-growing projects on GitHub, including Kubernetes, Prometheus and Envoy, fostering collaboration between the industry’s top developers, end users, and vendors. The Fn Project is an open-source container-native serverless platform that you can run anywhere -- any cloud or on-premise. It’s easy to use, supports every programming language, and is extensible and performant.
• #67: Open API 1.0 provides a unified Java API for the OpenAPI v3 specification JSON-B 1.0 provides the standard binding layer for converting Java objects to/from JSON messages Fault Tolerance 1.1 provides circuit breaking, fallback and retry policy functionality Health Check 1.0 provides a single container runtime mechanism for validating the availability and status of a MicroProfile implementation CDI 2.0 provides new version of Contexts and Dependency Injection in Java
• #78: Envoy is an open-source edge and service proxy Istio helps reduce the complexity of these deployments, and eases the strain on your development teams. It is a completely open source service mesh that layers transparently onto existing distributed applications. It is also a platform, including APIs that let it integrate into any logging platform, or telemetry or policy system.  Istio addresses the challenges developers and operators face as monolithic applications transition towards a distributed microservice architecture.
