Okay I know most folks will be thinking Linkerd? You should have gone with Istio (and if you are like me don’t know either of the two don’t worry). I didn’t know exactly what a service mesh does until I actually tried it. So be patient and try this tutorial if you have the time. In this post I’ll explain why I didn’t use Istio and why I tried this in the first place.

Kubernetes ConfigMaps with TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition
While recently demonstrating BWCE, I realized that rather than using Consul, I could easily use native K8s concepts. I was already using Kubernetes services instead of the Consul Service Discovery (because its just so cool!). I decided to read a bit on ConfigMaps and realized its really easy and with the new features added in BWCE Studio, I can externalize configuration very easily. So let’s begin.

To do or not to do …
Much after my first two blog posts on WordPress.com, I thought I should create my own blog with my own domain. However many questions popped up
- Will I be able to devote time to it?
- What will I write about?
- Will anyone ever read it?
- What am I trying to achieve?
Yes it’s going to be challenging to make sure I can post good content on this blog. I definitely don’t want to make it like a Twitter feed where I am just posting random rants and stuff that might not be helpful to anyone. Nevertheless I decided that it’s worth a shot. Even if a handful of people find my blog useful, I would be happy.
This particular blog post is just something I thought might be useful to others who want to start their own blog. I know there are plenty of websites out there which can help you get started(way better than what I am writing here). Most might say get WordPress.org and go for self hosting. I recommend that, but it is not as easy as they say. Here are just some of a few things you need to lookout for.

And so it begins …
Hopefully this time I can stick to regular blogging. My last blog has died a slow painful death and I am hoping to not just write about my life this time but also some technical articles or tutorials.
The inspiration comes from a lot of blogs that I keep reading and have helped me both personally and professionally and I think it’s time for me to pay it forward. My first official blog post for TIBCO is here even that was 2014. Time has always been my achilles heel so it’s going to be tough to make sure I can post something every week. Hopefully I can post something of use to this world.
Wanted to start something like the FakeIPL Player but found that I lack that much imagination and am better off positing something which is real.
Watch this space. Something new will be coming up very soon! Who knows if this thing hits off, I could actually buy a domain name and do it very seriously.
