Innovation from Karsun: Scalable Microservices
Shan Palanivelu and Badri Sriraman, experts from the Karsun Innovation Center, spoke at DevFestDC on June 8, 2018 at the Sheraton Tysons Corner. DevFestDC brings together developers working with emerging technologies. Badri and Shan shared work from the in-house research and development team at the Karsun Innovation Center (KIC). This team analyzes emerging technology trends and via continuous experimentation it creates original prototypes to solve difficult business challenges facing Karsun customers. It ensures program teams have modernization solutions for their every next.
Data Pipelines on Kubernetes
In their talk Shan and Badri described creating scalable microservices using architectural patterns like Event Sourcing and Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS). Beyond scalability these patterns improve stability while enhancing performance.
In the case study they shared, the team applied data pipelines and Kubernetes. They leveraged Pachyderm to build these data pipelines. These can then act as anti-corruption layer between various bounded contexts in the system.
The KIC continues to refine the processes demonstrated in this talk. Ongoing innovation allows Karsun teams to deliver microservices and cloud native development at scale. For the latest capabilities and solutions learn more about Karsun’s modern software development.
