You Will Love These Cloud-native App Architecture Patterns

VMworld last week continued 2020’s atypical tech world tradition of offering all its sessions virtually. That format definitely makes the audience transition from session room to session room much quicker and easier. But for those of us tracking our physical activity we earn many, many fewer steps! 

This year’s conference offered the usual, very broad selection of sessions. They addressed all the new offerings and features and trends in VMware’s huge portfolio of products and offerings. In my opinion, as an application solution techie geek, the fundamental transition of vSphere to an orchestrated container platform based on Kubernetes (demystified in App Modernization ) was far and away the most interesting track of the conference. The architect in me votes hands-down that Paul Czarkowski’s session, Cloud Native Operations on Kubernetes, was the best presentation of the conference. No question it’s worth an hour of your time! 

Dynamically Configure reCaptcha Site Key

I’ve recently been working on a new web portal and ran into a problem of trying to figure out how to dynamically configure the reCaptcha site key.

It is a basic single page application (SPA) utilizing the Angular web framework (with component based development) written using Typescript (love it!) and decorated using Bootstrap CSS (can’t live without it!). The frontend Angular application is served up from the backend Java SpringBoot. application And, the whole thing is deploy in Docker containers to a Docker Swarm cluster.
