Node.js

Building container-based solutions can be a challenging task that adds a lot of overhead for application developers, but using a combination of Red Hat OpenShift Application Runtimes and Istio will take care of many considerations, leaving application developers to focus on implementing the business logic.

This post shows the minimal setup that is required to use the Chrome Developer Tools (DevTools) inspector to debug and inspect a Node.js application that is running on OpenShift.

The past nine weeks of blog posts have introduced, explained, and demonstrated some of the many features of the Istio service mesh when combined it is with Red Hat OpenShift and Kubernetes. This, the final post in this series, is a recap.

This is part eight of a ten-week series and covers using the Canary Deployment pattern to ease code into production. Istio makes this easy while giving you several good options for intelligent routing. And you can do it all without changing your source code.

With the recent announcement that Node.js is available as part of Red Hat OpenShift Application Runtimes, I wanted to see how easy it was to deploy an Express.js app on Red Hat OpenShift. It was quite easy to go from zero to having an Express app deployed and running. I show how using npx and nodeshift.

Testing software is challenging and very important. Testing for correctness is one thing, but testing for failures in network reliability is quite another task. This article will demonstrate how Istio makes this oh so easy.

Istio brings tracing and monitoring to your system with very little effort, helping you keep things humming. This article covers Istio Tracing & Monitoring: Where are you are and how fast are you going?

The phrase "Failure is not an option" is tossed about with much bravado, with Istio Circuit Breaker. But the fact remains, things eventually fail. Everything. How, then, do you handle the inevitable failure of your microservices? This article will show you how.

This is week three of a ten-week series about Istio, kubernetes and OpenShift. The series started with an introduction to Istio, and this week covers Istio Circuit Breaker: How To Handle (Pool) Ejection.

This article covers Istio Route Rules and telling Service Requests Where To Go. OpenShift and Kubernetes do a great job of working to make sure calls to your microservice are routed to the correct pods. What if, however, you want to customize the routing?

Today Red Hat is making Node.js generally available to Red Hat customers through a subscription to Red Hat OpenShift Application Runtimes (RHOAR).

this is an introduction to Istio. Istio helps automate the developer time to implement a feature. The combination of code complexity and code heft (i.e. number of lines of code) can put a drag on an implementation. Istio is a better way.

In this blog we will see how to build a simple nodejs function that can do a reverse geocoding using GoogleMaps API.,and deploy the functions on to OpenWhisk

Use Private NPM modules with RHMAP. In this Blog post entry I will try to cover, how to use Red Hat Mobile Application Platform with private npm modules from registry.npmjs.org.
