What Are Containers? A Simple Guide to Containerization and How Docker Works

Docker is awesome. I was late to the party and didn’t get hands-on until last year. But Docker has quickly become one of the favorite tools. It enables software developers to package, ship and run their applications anywhere without having to worry about setup or dependencies. Combined with Kubernetes, it becomes even more powerful for streamling cluster deployments and management. I digress. Back to Docker. Docker is loved by software developers and its adoption rate has been remarkable. So what exactly is Docker? It’s a platform for building, testing, deploying and publishing containerized applications. I say platform because Docker is a set of tools for managing all-things related to containers. Containers are at the heart of Docker so that’s what we’re going to explore in depth next. What is a Container? Containers provide a way to install and run your applications in isolated environments on a machine. Applications running inside a container are limited to resources (C...

REST Resource Identifier (URI) Naming – REST API Tutorial

In REST, primary data representation is called Resource . Having a strong and consistent REST resource naming strategy – will definitely prove your one of the best design decisions in long term. The key abstraction of information in REST is a resource. Any information that can be named can be a resource: a document or image, a temporal service (e.g. “today’s weather in Los Angeles”), a collection of other resources, a non-virtual object (e.g. a person), and so on. In other words, any concept that might be the target of an author’s hypertext reference must fit within the definition of a resource. A resource is a conceptual mapping to a set of entities, not the entity that corresponds to the mapping at any particular point in time. Roy Fielding’s dissertation A resource can be a singleton or a collection . For example, “ customers ” is a collection resource and “ customer ” is a singleton resource (in a banking domain). We can identify “ customers ” collection resource using ...

Design APIs like you design User Experience

Learn to design better APIs using concepts and processes which are used to design beautiful User Experiences What is User Experience? User Experience (UX) is the value that you provide to your users when they are using your product. It is a term that is mostly associated with beautiful looking User Interfaces. But, by principle, User Experience Design (UXD or UED) “is the process of enhancing user satisfaction with a product by improving the usability, accessibility, and pleasure provided in the interaction with the product.” Designers spend a decent amount of time to make sure that they make every interaction, every UI element as delightful as possible. Producing the best type of UX is mainly processes — the processes that Design/UX teams use to make sure that their design is valuable, desirable, and usable to the community. It is not just about providing a beautiful UI. They make sure that in the design process all stakeholders are involved so that there are no sudd...
