Last night we presented our online training. Things went well until near the end where for some reason voice and video dropped for no apparent reason.

So if you missed the end of the end of the training, please do check back with the recording. For those on the training will have seen at the start of the training links to my social media profile, so...

Fn is a cloud agnostic, container native, serverless platform and as such, Fn leverages Docker extensively. In a nutshell, Fn will expose any piece of code as a Serverless function by turning it into a Docker image. All the heavy lifting of making the Docker image, invoking it properly with the right input, etc. is handled by Fn. As an Fn user/function developer, you don’t need to understand Docker and all its underpinning as Fn abstracts Docker away. Leveraging Docker also...

After months of hard work and burning the midnight oil I am very proud to announce ApiaryUI - our brand new, fully rethought, and refactored version of our existing Interactive Documentation. We already gave ApiaryUI to our betatesters as a Christmas gift. We are now making it available for everyone, but before it will become THE API documentation, we want to hear from you. ApiaryUI is implemented in a way that allows complete separation from apiary.io and possibly forming a...

This post demonstrates how to develop an Fn function that is triggered by a GitHub webhook and posts new release details to Twitter. It covers the general concept, code as well as configuration and deployment of your function. Once configured and deployed, the serverless function will be invoked in response to a new release in a GitHub repository (thanks to the webhook) and post its details (name, version and URL) to Twitter. If everything works out well, you should have a...

If your tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. Many of us have seen situations where this tunnel vision over time took hold. And for many of us involved in integration, this also has happened. In this article I want to briefly draw your attention to changing views regarding integration and regarding the technology for realizing integration. Important triggers for these changing views include cloud, web scale, new type of user interaction, IoT and real time,...

Here and there we see numerous predictions that pretty soon chatbots will play a key role in the communication between the users and their systems. I don't have a crystal ball and I don't want to wait for this "pretty soon", so I decided to make these prophecies come true now and see what it looks like. A flagman product of the company I am working for is FlexDeploy which is a fully automated DevOps solutions. One of the most popular activities in FlexDeploy is creating a...
