Image — roboconstructor.ru A well-known parable states that when a young mother with a child in her arms approached the sage and asked at what age she should start raising her offspring, the elder replied that she was late by as many years as the child had already lived. The situation with choosing a future profession is quite similar. It's difficult to expect an infant to be aware of their inclinations and interests, […]
The transition to Kubernetes and Linux infrastructures during the digital transformation of organizations leads to applications increasingly being built on microservices architecture and, as a result, often becoming complex in terms of routing requests between services. In Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh, we go beyond traditional routing and offer components for tracing and visualizing such requests, […]
