Enjoy these complimentary materials from IBM Cloud.

Virtual events are weird because you are always a click away from something else. So, thank you for making it this far. Here are complimentary materials to help you learn, grow, and achieve success with open source.

Istio Explained: Getting Started with Service Mesh

Microservices can be complicated and difficult to manage, but with this practical guide, you'll learn how service meshes can help you control interactions between the services in your application. Explore what a service mesh is and how it works using Istio—an open source service mesh for managing and securing microservices in a variety of environments spanning cloud, on-premises, and more.

Developing Open Cloud Native Microservices: Your Java Code in Action

What are the challenges to creating, running, and supporting cloud native microservices? In this report, developer advocates from IBM explain what you need to know when building new cloud-based applications. Software developers will learn how to work with Java and several modern techniques to develop, deploy, and secure microservices in a cloud native environment.

You’ll examine the key principles for microservices—such as data consistency and continuous delivery—that are important for cloud applications, but also supporting the operational and deployment needs of today’s applications. Learn exactly what cloud native means and why open source, open communities, and open standards are critical to the future of these highly available applications.

Reactive Systems Explained: Jump-Start Your Journey to Reactive Architecture

Enterprises are busy transforming themselves by building applications capable of handling massive scale, enormous amounts of data, or both. The good news? There’s an unprecedented choice of open source technologies available to pursue these next-generation applications.

Examine how the reactive architectural style enables microservices-driven applications to react better to their surroundings and to each other. You’ll learn the key patterns of reactive systems and draw distinctions between implementations offered by various toolkits and frameworks.
