Architectural Caching Patterns for Kubernetes with Rafal Leszko
Kubernetes brings new ideas on how to organize the caching layer for your applications. You can still use the old-but-good client-server topology, but now there is much more than that. This session will start with the known distributed caching topologies: embedded, client-server, and cloud. Then, I'll present Kubernetes-only caching strategies, including:
- Sidecar Caching
- Reverse Proxy Caching with Nginx
- Reverse Proxy Sidecar Caching with Hazelcast
- Envoy-level caching with Service Mesh
In this session you'll see:
- A walk-through of all caching topologies you can use in Kubernetes
- Pros and Cons of each solution
- The future of caching in container-based environments
4:45 PM
Knative tooling & observability by the The New York Times Auth team with Pete Saia
Pete Saia, Senior Software Developer at The New York Time will showcase the tooling built by the Authentication team to accomplish the following:
Simple development and onboarding experience
Idempotent build process
Preview environments (aka deploying "Darkly")
Simple certificate rotation
Observability on ephemeral services w/ open standards
Helm friendliness
Multi-Cloud capable (aka minimal vendor lock-in)
It will feature Kubernetes Resources, Istio, Knative and the CI/CD steps used to deploy the Auth platform.
