When microservices start "chatting": What is your API gateway busy with? Imagine you have a bustling robot workshop. Each robotic arm - let's call them "microservices" - is hard at work: one is responsible for calculating the angle of the servo, one is processing the torque data of the servo motor, and another is sorting out the specification sheet of the mechanical components. Each of them is efficient, but here comes the problem: a customer comes from outside and wants to ask about the overall solution. Should find...

When Your Microservices Start Chatting Too MuchEver feel like your microservices are having a party, but nobody’s answering the door? Data’s...

So You've Built Something Amazing – Now What?Picture this: you’ve spent months, maybe years, perfecting your system. Every servo motor respo...

You know that moment when a machine starts doing something it shouldn’t? A jerky movement, a weird vibration, or maybe it just stops respond...

When the system starts to "stuck": A conversation about REST APIs and microservices Have you ever had such a moment? Every joint of the robotic arm on the production line is obviously flexible, but the overall movement is half a beat too slow, and I always feel like something is wrong. Or, if a certain link in the automated process you designed is changed, the entire system will be like dominoes, affecting the whole system. It's not a part that's broken. In many cases, it's the connection...

When your servo system starts "talking": Unpacking the myths of APIs and microservices Do you remember the last time you debugged the robotic arm? That afternoon, you stared at the jumping parameters on the control panel and suddenly realized that the transmission of each command was actually like a precise dialogue. Now, when we talk about modern control systems, this "conversational" approach is quietly dividing into two schools: APIs and microservices. They sound similar, but in reality...

Let microservices no longer have "traffic jams": Kpower's API gateway configuration practice Have you ever encountered this situation? In a microservice system, more than a dozen small modules each perform their own tasks, which should be extremely smooth, but in actual operation, they always get stuck at "intersections". Service A calls service B, and service B needs the data of service C. In the middle, it needs to verify the identity and check the permissions... What's the result? Request latency is like peak hours...
