๐ Role in Microservices โ API contracts define the expected interactions between microservices, ensuring that each service communicates correctly with others. This is crucial in a microservices architecture where services are independently developed and deployed. ๐ ๏ธ API Contract Testing โ This testing method verifies that the API adheres to its specified contract, ensuring compatibility and reliability across different system parts.

Even as the world races to combat climate change, and the choice to transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy becomes a no-brainer, fossil fuels still remain the largest contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, responsible for over 75% of total emissions. The shift to renewables is our best chance at reducing the devastating impact of climate change. Yet, beneath the promise of clean energy lies a stark reality.

๐ง Architecture โ gRPC is a high-performance, open-source RPC framework that uses HTTP/2 for transport and Protocol Buffers for message serialization. It allows client applications to call methods on a server application as if they were local objects. ๐ Protocol Buffers โ gRPC uses Protocol Buffers as its Interface Definition Language (IDL) to define services and messages. This allows for efficient serialization and deserialization of structured data.

ฯยยย Definition ฮฒยย Network protocols are established sets of rules that determine how data is transmitted between different devices in a network. They enable communication by providing a common language for devices with different internal processes. ฯยยย OSI Model ฮฒยย The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model is a framework used to understand how network protocols operate across seven layers, each responsible for different aspects of data communication.

๐ Definition โ A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, is a technology that creates a secure and encrypted connection over a less secure network, such as the Internet. ๐ Functionality โ VPNs extend a private network across a public network, allowing users to securely send and receive data as if their devices were directly connected to the private network. ๐ Security โ VPNs employ encryption, authentication, and integrity protection to safeguard data from potential eavesdropping and cyber threats.

๐ฆ Definition โ Canary deployment is a strategy where a new software version is released to a small subset of users before a full rollout. This allows for testing in a real-world environment with minimal risk. ๐ Process โ The deployment involves running two versions of the application simultaneously. A small percentage of users access the new version (canary), while the majority continue using the stable version.

เนยยย Strategy Overview เนยย Blue-Green Deployment is a strategy used in CI/CD to release new application versions with minimal downtime by using two identical environments, blue and green. เนยยเธ Blue Environment เนยย This is the current live environment where the existing version of the application runs and serves user traffic. เนยยเธ Green Environment เนยย This is the new environment where the updated version of the application is deployed and tested before it goes live.
