Jolie on Azure Functions

Immagine
Hi all. Some weeks ago Azure Functions' team released (as a preview) custom handlers . From the official doc: Custom handlers are best suited for situations where you want to: Implement a function app in a language that's not officially supported . Implement a function app in a language version or runtime not supported by default. Provide more granular control over the function app execution environment. I think this is a really powerful feature and you can actually find a lot of articles showing how to leverage it to write functions in Go, PHP, etc Now I'm going to add yet another programming language to the list: Jolie . Again, from the documentation: To implement a custom handler, you need the following aspects to your application: A host.json file at the root of your app A function.json file for each function (inside a folder that matches the function name) A command, script, or executable, which runs a web server In addition, you have to supply a...

FaaS - Fuffa as a Service [Prima parte]

Qualche tempo fa qualcuno mi ha segnalato questa pagina: http://www.massimobarbieri.it/it/Tecnichese/ In pratica si tratta di un sofisticato generatore di supercazzole in gergo tecnico, basato su solide basi teoriche  (guardate anche l'altro esempio di utilizzo di TinyGrammar, ne vale la pena). Dopo aver fatto diversi click sul pulsante "Genera altro tecnichese" ho constatato (con le lacrime agli occhi per le risate) che il tool è robusto ed affidabile :-P Il contagio si è rapidamente sparso tra i colleghi, scatenando la facile ironia di chi faceva notare quanto le frasi generate fossero praticamente indistinguibili da alcuni discorsi sentiti durante serissime riunioni di lavoro. A questo punto, siccome non so se sono più nerd o più cazzaro, mi sono accorto che Barbieri (grazie Massimo) ha pubblicato su GitHub la sua libreria  con licenza GPL e che sarebbe stato facile modificare il dizionario della grammatica per renderlo ancora più affine al mio ambito aziendale (...

Jolie micro services on Kubernetes

Jolie is a (micro) service-oriented language. Jolie's capabilities work well with Docker and you can find an example in the official documentation here . So d eploying a Jolie service in a Docker container is quite easy. Now it's time to go onboard with Kubernetes ;-) This is only a little demo on how to set up a Kubernetes environment on your PC (thanks to minikube) and build up a scalable clusterized version of Jolie's "Hello world" example. You can find Jolie examples on this GitHub project . What we are going to do now is to transform "01_getting_started" sample (which simply twices a number) into a powerful Kubernetes scalable app (doing exactly the same thing, but in a cool way). If you object that this is very unreasonable, I have to remind you that it is perfectly aligned with today's software industry standards. :-P To be honest I'm not going to explain what Kubernetes is and how it does what it does, so please go read a...
