AWS EC2 Service Discovery with HAProxy

AWS Auto Scaling groups are a powerful tool for creating scaling plans for your application. They let you dynamically create a group of EC2 instances that will maintain a consistent and predictable level of service. HAProxy’s Data Plane API adds a cloud-native method known as Service Discovery to add or remove these instances within a backend in your proxy as scaling events occur. In this article, we’ll take a look at the steps used to integrate this functionality into your workflow.

Clojure microservices for JavaScript developers part 2

This series was co-written by Musa Barighzaai and Tyler Sullberg. In the previous post, we explored high-level differences between thinking in Clojure compared to thinking in JavaScript. We are now ready to start building our first Clojure microservice. The microservice we are going to build will be very simple. It will be an HTTP server that uses a Redis data store to count how many times a given IP address has pinged the /counter endpoint.

Clojure microservices for JavaScript developers part 3

This series was co-written by Tyler Sullberg and Musa Barighzaai. This is the third and final post in a series of posts for JavaScript developers about how to set up Clojure microservices. The previous posts were: Those previous posts are useful context, but you can clone the repo and jump into this post without reading them.

Accelerating Machine Learning with MLOps and FuseML: Part One

Building successful machine learning (ML) production systems requires a specialized re-interpretation of the traditional DevOps culture and methodologies. MLOps, short for machine learning operations, is a relatively new engineering discipline and a set of practices meant to improve the collaboration and communication between the various roles and teams that together manage the end-to-end lifecycle of machine learning projects.

Gaining a real competitive edge in managed services

These are interesting – and challenging – times to be a Managed Service Provider. When it first published its Managed Services Market Size Forecast, Mordor Intelligence valued the market at US$152 billion in 2020, and predicted it to reach US$274 billion by 2026, a compound annual growth rate of 11.2%. Over a year later, following a pandemic which has changed the way most of us work and which will probably see permanent changes going forward, Mordor is sticking by its prediction.

Clojure microservices for JavaScript developers

This series was co-written by Tyler Sullberg and Musa Barighzaai. CircleCI is growing, which is wonderful. However, one of the growth challenges we have is that our backend is primarily written in Clojure, and few developers know Clojure. Many CircleCI engineers, including myself, have learned Clojure on the job. Before joining CircleCI, I was a JavaScript developer. As the lingua franca of software engineers, JavaScript is a relatively straightforward language to learn.
