Download as PPTX, PDF5 likes3,043 views
The document discusses the evolution of APIs in response to changing frontend technology, emphasizing the need for lightweight and high-performance interfaces for mobile and web applications. It highlights the advantages of using Node.js for API development, including its efficiency, large community support, and the ability to build full-stack JavaScript solutions. The document also touches on the challenges of operational management with new technologies and explores the use of back-end as a service (MBaaS) solutions, particularly StrongLoop, to streamline the API creation process.
OpenSource Node.js API Framework and Server for Enterprise
- 1. APIs for the new Frontedge Shubhra Kar June 2014 – Cloud Expo
- 2. The Frontend is changing
- 3. What else is churning ? Mobile App Strategy Big Data & Embedded (M2M) 10% 60% 30% Enterprise Mobile Native Hybrid Mobile Web 40% 40% 20% Consumer Mobile Native Hybrid Mobile Web Full Stack JavaScript Wearables
- 4. What needs to be built ? Legacy services won’t fit Front Edge Thousands to Millions of devices connecting to business APIs creating the new user experience APIs for each device, each app, each screen. Optimized for bandwidth & battery, adjusting to each device’s capabilities
- 5. I need to build lightweight and super performing APIs for my omni-channels Yes SOAP/XML wont cut it. Look what I found for building APIs to glue everything and it’s BLAZING FAST !!!
- 7. Why Node is awesome It’s all JavaScript ! Huge community (75 K re-usable modules) Reduce development time by 50% or more Reuse existing UX tools Low latency - Mobile Event-driven and fast by design: 50x faster Non blocking, high throughput: helps scale 20x Highly concurrent (great for mobile) Does not pollute SOA stack; acts as API glue Full Stack JavaScript is out of box (Angular – Cordova – Node) or (Backbone – iOnic – Node)
- 8. & helps realize a full-stack JavaScript solution Develop Create Scaffolding Define base CSS Define components Use JS widgets Create Scaffolding Define Models Define Controllers Define Views Define Filters User Device File GeoLocation Notification Define Directives Configure Routes Model the Data Generate REST API Connect to Data-sources (Oracle, SOAP, Mongo) Setup Services Configure API Security Mobile App Mgmt. Create UI & styling Arch. & binding Access Native Integrate Existing Data and Services BLE
- 9. The research begins ! Hmmm…looks like these smart guys did build APIs and their own frameworks in Node.js But wait !!! I know how to get these APIs quickly from an mBaaS. The node.js frameworks out there are just construction blocks or custom
- 10. Boss, I found the solution – Let’s buy mBaaS services from a cloud provider No, you didn’t !. Most of our business data resides inside the Data-Stores behind the firewall…Come up with something that works Ok, I think I found one that fits the bill. It’s called StrongLoop
- 11. Thus 1st Generation mBaaS platforms failed to take off. mobile/web clients social & analytics JSON API API XML SQL SOAP Etc. mBaaS API tier (Java, Ruby, PHP, C#) MongoDB, mySQL Enterprise
- 12. REST API PUSH GEO OFF SYNC DEVICE USER FILE Storage In-Memory REST API GATEWAY Channel SDKs CONNECTORS ORMAPI ENGINE D A T A M O D E L A P I S D K s Loopback: Open Source API Framework in Node.js JSON API Config
- 13. Marquee Features Mobile SDKs Pre-Built Mobile Services ORM – no SQL Enterprise ConnectorsAuto API Engine API Gateway
- 14. Some magical features in Open Source Offline Sync Model Auto-Discovery and Relationship Connector
- 15. You can stand up an enterprise API in 100 lines of config code
- 16. StrongLoop is both enterprise (on-prem) & cloud Enterprise Cloud
- 17. So does this meet our need ? Dunno….let me check if there are good dev tools for this solution Not so fast … How about Ops ? With a new technology, there are operational challenges
- 18. Node.js Platform Support 18 Node.js Core strong- module-loader strong-cluster- connect-store strong-cluster- control SL-Config Loopback Strong-mq strong-task- emitter Engine.io Mongoose Strong-agent strong-cluster- socket.io-store strong-config- loader Request Node- heapdump Asynch node- inspector Passport Strong- remoting Q EJS Express Connect Socket.IO Reggie Postgres Connector Oracle Connector SQL Server Connector MongoDB Connector REST Connector In-Memory connector LIBUV V8 Profiler ① Multi-platform (Windows, Unix, Solaris, Mac) support ② On-premises, private or public cloud support ③ Certified Node.js curated modules and ecosystem ④ Commercial Enterprise supported, security updates
- 19. DevOps Tools – Debugging
- 20. DevOps Tools – Runtime Mgmt. & Dynamic Scaling
- 21. DevOps Tools - Profilers
- 22. DevOps Tools - Performance Monitoring
- 24. Aha !!! I get it now. It’s Mule on Steroids Nope…it’s Just Enterprise Node !!! Looks Like JBoss to me
