Technology moves fast and so am I. New technologies, new foundations and new services, provide a better foundation for building modern, always on, high scale applications and services. About a year ago, I realized the potential of Azure Service Fabric. I established an architecture team within my company, CodeValue, and together we have built the foundation for the new Kodak Photographer network – Kodakit.
Kodakit is a B2B and B2C system that connects professional photographers with personal and business clients. As a Regional Director, I had access to the Service Fabric dev team that supported us during the time where the technology was still in its preview stage. Service Fabric allows us to build a high scale, high available, high performance, Microservice based system with less concerns regarding Microservice health management, state management and versioning. For the mobile application, I decided to use Xamarin. Using Xamarin provides the foundation for building cross platform, iOS, Android and Windows client applications while reducing the learning curve of the dev team by using the same familiar programming language and development tools.
Nowadays, I am the architect of another microservice based solution, this time we use Docker Containers as our hosting and management environment, running Node.js and Angular 2.0 on Linux.
Beside Microservices architecture I also develop Internet of Things systems and Cross Platform applications on Windows/Linux and mobile platforms using C# (Xamarin) and ISO C++.
