BlueMix UI

-
The Bluemix UI (which runs on Cloud Foundry) is the front-end to Bluemix, IBM’s open cloud hosting platform. The original implementation as a single-page, monolithic Java web app brought with it many demons, such as poor performance, lack of scalability, inability to push small updates, and difficulty for other teams to contribute code. Over the last 2 years, the team has been on a mission to slay these demons by embracing cloud native principles and splitting the monolith into smaller Node.js microservices. The effort to migrate to a more modern and scalable architecture has paid large dividends, but has also left behind a few battle scars from wrestling with the added complexity cloud native can bring. The team had to tackle problems in a wide variety of areas, including: large-scale deployments, continuous integration, monitoring, problem determination, high availability, and security.
In the talk, I went on to discuss the advantages of microservice architectures, ways that Node.js has increased developer productivity, approaches to phasing microservices into a live product, and real-life lessons learned in the deployment and management of Node.js microservices across multiple Cloud Foundry environments.

5 Settings to Change on your Router

Here are five basic settings to look at when configuring a Wi-Fi network router. 1. Change the network name and password To change the username and password, you'll need to log into your router's web utility in your browser. Comcast launched its web utility as soon as I connected my laptop to its Wi-Fi network, but if yours doesn't automatically launch, look for the URL for the web utility in your manual. Or you can google it by searching for "[your router name] ip address". For many routers, the address is 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1. Once you're on that web utility page, you'll need to log in again, but the login information won't be the same as your Wi-Fi login. Usually, the username is "admin" and the password is "password", but you can change these credentials after logging in for the first time. If that combination doesn't work, check your router's manual. 2. Choose a security mode If you set a strong ...

Rise of Internet Based Networking

-
Thankfully, the internet is constantly evolving to find new and better solutions for our needs. That’s why we’re seeing a new kind of network proliferate – the interest based network. Instead of networks that are based on moving offline connections online, people are adopting networks that are based on common interests with people they may or may not even know. We have seen people flock to Pinterest to find images of shared passions, to Quora to discuss common interests, and to Flipora to recommend and discover interesting content on their favorite topics. Many people who share interests on these platforms have never met and don’t know anything about each other. Interest based networks unleash the true power of the web in bringing the world together and allowing for the organic formation of tribes. It’s the only way many people could ever communicate with each other, removing barriers of geography, time zones, societal restraints, and cultural habits -- leaving them only wi...
