An Overview of the TARS Foundation and How to Join Us

To kickstart the event, Paige Huang, program manager at the TARS Foundation, presented an overview of the TARS Foundation and its mission to build a standard microservices ecosystem together with the open source communities worldwide. Particularly, the TARS Foundation has a number of different ways for people to join. If you are an individual interested in contributing to TARS projects, check out the Contributor Guide. For organizations to join the TARS Foundation, they can become members or end users to play an active role in TARS Foundation’s project governance and community outreach in order to reach a wider audience for their brands.

TARS in Practice: From Architecture to Deployment

Next, Isabella Ferreira, TARS Ambassador, gave an excellent overview of TARS microservices and demonstrated the TARS Framework dashboard. If you want to get started with TARS to develop microservices, check out the free training course: Building Microservices Platform with TARS and a tutorial video series created by Isabella.

API Gateway in Microservices

Besides exploring TARS, the meetup discussion also extends to other microservices topics. Zhiyuan Ju from api7.ai introduced the Apache APISIX project and explained the importance of API gateway in microservices.

Microservices: Divide, Decentralize and Rule!

Javier Rosales from Airudi, an AI solution company focused on human resource management based in Canada, demonstrated a fascinating analogy to explain microservices architecture using Jellyfish. In his talk, he also presented how, by working in an AI human resources company, applications built with microservices as a set of modular components have allowed different people with different talents to work together.

Finally, we want to thank all the guest speakers who so kindly shared their knowledge and expertise with the TARS community. The TARS Foundation believes in the open source model and we are hoping to build a neutral community that promotes microservices conversations and collaboration among developers from different countries.
