Maurício Linhares ramblings Microservices all the way
TL;DR: this is mostly a text version of a presentation I’ve done a couple times (English or Portuguese) on the history of building DigitalOcean’s API gateway. How we made it easier for folks to build new microservices instead of continuing to add code to our monoliths, the successes, failures and lessons learned.
First, where were we?
DigitalOcean had 3 monoliths back in 2016 when we started (all 3 are still alive today, albeit much smaller than they were before). Why were there 3? There is a shared library that contains most of the logic that all 3 applications use, so in reality we had one “monolith library” that was reused at all 3, most logic changes were made into this library and then it would be upgraded at every single app separately. The library still exists today and continues to be updated every once in a while.

There has been a 25-30% average increase in salaries being paid between 2019 and 2020 for these profiles, which are used to build high-performance network services, cloud apps, and process big data. And these salary trends are expected to continue in the first quarter of 2021.

Russia-linked hackers used phishing emails with COVID-19 themes as a way to infect devices with a backdoor called Zebrocy, the security firm Intezer reports.
Intezer says the campaign, which was active through at least November, may be the work of the Russian-linked hacking group Sofacy, also known as APT28 and Fancy Bear. The researchers linked the malware to this group by comparing it to other malicious code the group has used.
Sofacy has been linked to numerous attacks against governments and companies across the world. In the past week, Norway accused the group of hacking emails of lawmakers and others during an attack in August (see:
Turing nabs $32M more for an AI-based platform to source and manage engineers remotely
