Quorten Blog 1

First blog for all Quorten's blog-like writings

Very interesting here. This Gloo system is written in Golang and exposes an abstraction API for what they now consider to be “legacy” cloud APIs. What are these collectively? Here I list them in what I believe to be order of first public release.

  1. VMware
  2. OpenStack
  3. Amazon Web Services (AWS)
  4. Google Cloud Platform
  5. Microsoft Azure

Now, in light of this, the “modern” cloud platform is now considered to be Docker containers, and maybe “lambda” functions (as in Amazon Lambda).

So what is the framework they used for a REST API server in Golang? “Envoy” so it is touted, the source code is not yet available (!) and it was also written by the same authors of Gloo.
