From Many, One — What are Federated Microservices? Federated Microservices are the independently deployable components of a federated application. In a federated application, components are loaded from multiple network locations and repositories at runtime. They are not developed by a single team or built from a single codebase. Multiple federated application components can run in a single application…

A Solution to the Microservice Deployment/Distribution Trade-Off — When evaluating microservices as a candidate architecture, the most important factor to consider is that the end result is a distributed application. Microservices are the components of distributed applications — and distribution is what enables their chief virtue, deployment independence. Unfortunately, relative to the traditional alternative, pejoratively called “monoliths”, distributed…

Building Composable Microservices with Module Federation — For the latest on this topic, see: Federated Microservices Manageable Autonomytrmidboe.medium.com While microservices speed time-to-market through focused, autonomous teams, shorter development cycles and deployment independence; they are considerably more complex to build and maintain than traditional monoliths. So much so, that many projects underdeliver or fail outright.

Good for more than CPU-bound workloads — Read just about any article on Node.js multi-threading and you will see a statement approximately like this: “Node.js multithreading is for handling synchronous workloads that would otherwise block the event loop, such as AI inference, which is CPU-bound. As far as I/O intensive workload, expect little improvement. Async I/O is…

Multi-threading allows your application to handle long-running synchronous workloads, like AI inference, without blocking the main thread’s event loop. When the event loop is blocked, the system becomes unresponsive. It’s not until the synchronous code completes, that the system begins processing other requests. Let’s look at a use case that…

Computing Conciousness The mind-body problem is considered one of the most intractable in the philosophy of science. Can a physical process account for our experience? Well, what else is there? On the other hand, like organization is fundamentally different at the cellular level from the world of large organisms like…

From atoms to stars, self-symmetry scales — Let’s first establish another architecture at the core of a Fractal Architecture, and that is, Federated Architecture. What is a federated architecture? If you’re familiar with GraphQL Apollo federation, which is an API gateway designed to integrate the schemas of multiple, independent services, in a cohesive, yet decoupled way (and…

What comes after the mesh network? Maybe a self forming app and data mesh? You might be interested in https://medium.com/codex/federated-applications-ba396d6925b1

Federated Software — Federated software is not installed on the server; but streamed over the network at runtime, as and when needed. What does this mean for the backend? Three things… First, federated software is always deployed the same way, regardless of vendor or platform. Code is deployed in milliseconds and consumes zero…
