Using the Kubernetes JavaScript Client Library

This entry was posted in javascript kubernetes Node.js TypeScript and tagged deployments services on by

I’ve been working with Kubernetes a lot and focusing on various deployment techniques that can be used (such as Blue-Green Deployments) for a Pluralsight course I’m creating called Kubernetes for Developers: Deploying Your Code. If you’re new to Blue-Green Deployments, here’s a quick overview: While I was working on the course, Dr. Christian Geuer-Pollmann and I had chatted on Twitter about a Blue-Green dashboard he wrote. He did a great job on it! I’ve been wanting to experiment with the JavaScript Kubernetes Client library so I decided to see what could be done to create a simple Blue-Green Deployment “dashboard” […]

Here’s an overview of what the talk was all about: Learn about the role that microservices can play in today’s enterprise environments in this talk by Dan Wahlin.

Node.js/Express Convention-Based Routes 2

This entry was posted in Express javascript Node.js on by

I’ve always been a fan of convention-based routing so I converted a local route generation script I’ve been using with Node.js/Express applications into an npm package called express-convention-routes. The package can be used to automate the creation of Express routes based on a directory structure. What’s a convention-based Express route? It’s a route that is dynamically generated and associated with a “controller” function without having to explicitly code the route yourself (i.e. you don’t write code such as app.use(‘/foo’, router)). express-convention-routes creates routes automatically by parsing a convention-based folder structure such as the one below when the server first starts. […]

Pushing Real-Time Data to an Angular Service using Web Sockets 2

This entry was posted in Angular Node.js socket.io web sockets on by

One of the questions I’ve been asked a lot lately in my Angular training classes, at conference workshops, and when working with different companies has been, “How can I push data to an Angular application from the server?”. Pushing data from the server to the client is useful when applications need to display real-time data or when they want to leverage the speed and low-latency benefits provided by TCP/IP Web Socket connections. My answer to this question (up to this point anyway) has been to provide a high-level discussion of how Web Sockets can be used to push data to an Angular […]
