MapR Unveils Support for Event-Driven Microservices on Converged Data Platform
MapR
Technologies, Inc., provider of the industry's only Converged Data
Platform, today announced at Strata
+ Hadoop World comprehensive support for microservices that leverage
continuous analytics, automated actions, and rapid response to better
impact business as it happens. New capabilities in the MapR Platform
range from microservices application monitoring and management to
integrated support for agile microservices application development.
"One of the hardest problems when creating and developing microservices
for an enterprise is the data," said Robin Bloor, chief analyst and
co-founder, The Bloor Group. "How it is shared, managed, protected, and
delivered is a major constraint to the successful creation and
deployment of applications, particularly real-time and mission-critical
applications. The key is to combine operations with analytic processing."
Support for event-driven microservices relies on underlying new
capabilities including:
-
Comprehensive monitoring of cluster-wide operations and resource usage
in a single pane of glass view
-
Microservices-specific volumes for application versioning, simplifying
the development lifecycle and production deployment
-
Microservices for A-B and multivariate testing enabling rapid machine
learning model development and optimization
"As one of the fastest growing video advertising technology companies in
the world, we depend on our ability to quickly develop enhancements and
deliver data agility to our customers," said Manny Puentes, CTO Altitude
Digital. "Event-driven microservices provide a critical capability to
help us be more agile, adapt quickly and drive value to our customers."
Event-driven microservices on the MapR Converged Data Platform allow
developers to have the freedom to combine a range of machine learning
and analytic functions directly on the data. Microservices that
seamlessly leverage file, database, and streaming services can be
orchestrated on the Converged Data Platform with an underlying
publish-and-subscribe framework that integrates data-in-motion and
data-at-rest to support continuous and low latency processing. This
highly effective approach integrates information from the latest events
with deep insights from accumulated data.
These microservices capabilities benefit from key features of the MapR
Converged Data Platform including:
-
Unified security with Access Control Expressions for data volumes,
including streaming data
-
Support for agile and containerized application development on Docker,
including applications with persistent data requirements
-
Converged analytic, processing, and messaging services in the same
physical nodes for real-time requirements and greater simplicity
-
Support for hybrid cloud microservices architectures with global
message service, global data namesace, bidirectional data flows with
loop detection, and service scale out capabilities
-
Logical and functional isolation of services. Ideal for machine
learning model training and evaluation
-
Continuous high availability and multi-master mission-critical
disaster recovery capabilities
Microservices applications and other converged application development
is simplified on the MapR Platform. Developers have the freedom to
combine file, database, document, and streaming analytics functionality.
With a single line of code, developers can easily persist complex data
types with JSON in MapR-DB, so they can focus on developing innovative
features. Customizable dashboards deliver full visibility of cluster
hardware and software operations, utilization, and service logs. The
Exchange, part of the MapR Converge Community, provides a public
forum for sharing best practices around microservices, dashboards, and
code snippets.
"Microservices by themselves are great, but don't deliver on their full
promise until you have a converged platform that brings the data
together," said Anil Gadre, senior vice president, product management,
MapR Technologies. "We've made it easier for developers to build
innovative new converged applications that can help transform a business
by providing a competitive advantage that was not possible before."
MapR also delivered a Converged
Application Blueprint to help speed the development of innovative
applications. Included in the Blueprint is application source code to
demonstrate how microservices combine to form a converged application
that captures high speed streaming data, persists the data for
historical analysis, and provides real-time analytics.
Availability
Microservices support is available now in the MapR Converged Community
and Enterprise Editions of the MapR Platform.
