Modern Cloud Application Delivery: WASM and WASI

I described in a previous blog post that modularity will play a key role in future enterprise applications. This is demonstrated in the current trends of serverless functions or containerized architectures. However, those solutions are not perfect: Given the trend of many different computing architectures, such as ARM on servers, Internet of Things (IoT) Edge… Modern Cloud Application Delivery: WASM and WASI weiterlesen

Unikernels, Software Containers and Serverless Architecture: Road to Modularity

This blog post is discussing the implications of Unikernels, Software Containers and Serverless Architecture on Modularity of complex software systems in a service mesh as illustrated below. Modular software systems claim to be more maintainable, secure and future proven compared to software monoliths. Software containers or the alternative MicroVMs have been proven as very successful… Unikernels, Software Containers and Serverless Architecture: Road to Modularity weiterlesen

Big Data: Bring Computation to Data

Big Data is the topic of the coming years. Even today large Internet companies store exabytes of data and their revenue model is based on selling products as well as services around this data. Consequently, they need to process data using advanced statistical methods, such as machine learning. Hence, they need to think about how… Big Data: Bring Computation to Data weiterlesen

Scenarios for Inter-Cloud Enterprise Architecture

The unstoppable cloud trend has arrived at the end users and companies. Particularly the first ones openly embrace the cloud, for instance, they use services provided by Google or Facebook. The latter one is more cautious fearing vendor lock-in or exposure of secret business data, such as customer records. Nevertheless, for many scenarios the risk… Scenarios for Inter-Cloud Enterprise Architecture weiterlesen
