plugins VS consul

Setting up Auth0 authentication in your Amplication application is easy. You can use the Auth0 plugin to add the required dependencies and configuration files to your application. The steps are as follows:

amplication/plugins

💡 Did you know? Amplication provides a Dockerfile for containerizing your services out of the box and has a plugin to create a Helm Chart for your services to ease container orchestration.

💡Pro Tip: Amplication now offers a Redis Plugin that can help you integrate Redis into your microservices more easily than ever before.

2. Helm Charts Plugin: Amplication offers a Helm Charts plugin that simplifies the deployment of containerized microservices on Kubernetes clusters. Helm charts provide a templated approach to defining Kubernetes resources, making it easier to manage the deployment process and ensure consistency across different environments.

To illustrate this development workflow, let's look at the MySQL plugin. But first, let's review the functionality of a database connection:

Hello, Yuval here, founder of Amplication. I’m very excited to share with you what the Amplication team is working on.

Amplication saves engineers from undifferentiated heavy lifting in application development, while helping organizations speed up delivery, and enforcing best practices and standardization across multiple teams and developers.

Amplication accelerates the development of backend applications and microservices with high-quality code generation, streamlining and automating development while solving issues that delay production readiness.

We built Amplication so developers like us could focus on coding the parts that matter rather than get distracted by repetitive tasks and boilerplate code.

Amplication is an open-source platform that lets you easily configure your backend services, by generating a human-readable and editable TypeScript Node.js codebase. The generated code includes everything you need to start writing your business logic.

Amplication continuously generates the code based on changes in the schema and configuration, then pushes the code to a GitHub repository to allow developers to continue off and edit it further based on their needs.

Today's launch of our v1.0 also incorporates a plugin architecture that enables developers to develop their own plugins to implement best practices, code conventions, custom integrations, and virtually anything in the generated code. Developers can use plugins created by Amplication’s core team, by our community, or create their own.

We already have several plugins on our Github plugins repo -https://github.com/amplication/plugins, including support for Kafka, MySQL PostgreSQL, Passport JWT, Passport Basic authentication, and the list is growing.

We can’t wait for you to experience Amplication, please share your thoughts.

The JHipster scaffolded sample application has a gateway application and two microservices. It uses Consul for service discovery and centralized configuration.

Service Discovery: Microservices need to discover and communicate with each other dynamically. Service discovery tools like etcd, Consul, or Kubernetes built-in service discovery mechanisms help locate and connect to microservices running on different nodes within the infrastructure.

After some research and testing, I landed on using Consul and Fabio as the demo infrastructure. Of course, there is a myriad of other options to accomplish this task, but because of the low configuration and ease of use, I was impressed with this pairing. Both projects are mature and well-supported, and very flexible--just because you can run them with low configuration, doesn't mean you have to. I wanted to keep this demo constrained, but the exercise did get me excited about exploring things further: circuit breakers, traffic splitting, and more complex service meshes.

The goal is to be able to use Consul SD configurations to allow for retrieving scrape targets from consul. Is this possible? Can anyone provide an example? Thank you!!

https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/pull/12080 - this should be the Consul issue that brought down Roblox

The Consul collector is production ready! Consul by HashiCorp is a powerful and complex identity-based networking solution, which is not trivial to monitor. We were lucky to have the assistance of HashiCorp itself in this endeavor, which resulted in a monitoring solution of exceptional quality. Look for common blog posts and announcements in the coming weeks!

Changed the service discovery to Consul, since this is the default in JHipster 8.

In another effort to standardize development and operations, Lob has just wrapped up our container orchestration migration from Convox to HashiCorp’s Nomad, led by Senior Platform Engineer Elijah Voigt. In this new ecosystem, one feature available to us is Consul Service Mesh (a feature of Consul, which is part of our Lob Nomad stack).
