The Ultimate Beginners Guide to Rules and Processes

As seen online at KieLive episode #14
There are so many ways and so much content out there to get you started with open source rules and process automation tooling by Red Hat, so where do you start? 

The goal of this guide is to provide you with a learning path through this content as a way to get started from download, to installation, to quick starts, to hands-on workshops, and all the way to using this technology for your cloud-native development projects.

You'll walk away from this guide with a learning path mapped out through content that's enjoyable to work with and can help you get started on your rules and process automation projects today.

Portfolio Architecture Examples - Application Development Collection

 

Figure 1: The portfolio architecture process
For a few years now we've been working on a project we have named Portfolio Architectures. These are based on selecting a specific use case we are seeing used in the real world by customers and then finding implementations of that case using three or more products from the Red Hat portfolio.

This basic premise is used as the foundation, but many aspects of open source are included in both the process and the final product we have defined. There is a community, where we share the initial project kickoff with a group of architects and use their initial feedback from the start. We also present the architecture product we've created right at the end before we publish to ensure usability by architects in the field. The final publish product includes some internal only content around the customer projects researched, but most of the content is open and freely available through various open source channels. 

This article is sharing an overview of the product we've developed, what's available to you today in our architecture center, and concludes by sharing a collection of architectures we've published.

Devoxx UK 2022 - Designing Your Best Architectural Diagrams (accepted)

devoxxuk 2022

As mentioned previously, I've pushed a few talks to the Devoxx UK 2022 conference being held from 11-13 of May in London.

The Devoxx series is well know and I've attended and spoken at multiple sessions for the Belgian version in the past. It's very developer centric with a lot of good depth and knowledgable attendees.

The selection committee decided that the workshop I submitted would fit their developer tools and productivity theme nicely so I'll be sharing this great material with you in London.

DevOpsDays Raleigh 2022 - Talking Architecture Shop (accepted)

 I've mentioned previously that I was trying to join the DevOpsDays Raleigh 2022 conference this year, to be hosted on April 13-14 in Raleigh, NC. 

I submitted a few talks, a workshop, and crossed my fingers to await the selection committee results.

The verdict is in, I've got a session talking architecture shop selected. It's going to be fun to share my teams research and development of open source DevOps architectures.

Here's the talk and abstract and really looking forward to seeing you all in person!

DevOpsDays Raleigh 2022 - Talking Architecture and Career

 It's been some years since I've been to this conference, mostly due to the worldly situation and travel restrictions, but thought this year was a great time to jump back in.

The 2022 edition will be held on April 13-14 in Raleigh, NC. You can register for tickets and join the fun for a really interesting array of talks and workshops. 

I'm going to give it a good shot this year and have submitted two sessions and a workshop.

Devoxx UK 2022 - Talking Architecture Shop

This year with hopes of attending some events in person, I've pushed a few talks to the Devoxx UK 2022 conference being held from 11-13 of May in London.

This is a rather close location for travel for me so seemed like a good one to put on my Spring list of conferences to target.

The Devoxx series is well know and I've attended and spoken at multiple sessions for the Belgian version in the past. It's very developer centric with a lot of good depth and knowledgable attendees.

My submissions are diverse and across the board as far as technical depth, architectural coverage, and type of sessions.

CodeReady Containers - Beginners guide to OpenShift Container Platform 4.9.10 with business automation tooling

code ready containers
Some time ago, back in December of 2020, I shared with you how to get started with business automation tooling on your developer machine using CodeReady Containers. 

In this four part series you were familiarised with the OpenShift Container Platform, the business automation operators, and given a project to install the developer tooling needed to begin designing processes, rules, and much more.

Recently, there were updates to the CodeReady Containers offering that gives you the latest OpenShift Container Platform 4.9.10 to run quite easily on your local developer machine.

Time to update the various projects for leveraging to learn business automation tooling better known as the Red Hat Process Automation Manager and Red Hat Decision Manager. Along with these installation projects, you'll be able to use the free online workshops with the latests tooling.

Codeanywhere adventures - Getting started with developer process automation tooling (part 3)

Codeanywhere

In the previous article in this series, we introduced the world of Codeanywhere, a cloud IDE and container development experience all available in just your browser. 

Are you ready for some more amazing, easy to use, developer tooling that requires not a single tooling installation and no configuration? 

That's what the team at Codeanywhere are promising us when I stumbled on their website last week. They "...don't require you to engage in complex installations and configuration setups. Simply access our in-browser IDE for everything you need to build amazing websites in a productive and more developer-friendly way."

In part three of this series, we'll finish the setup of our process automation Java container project in Codeanywhere.

Beginners Guide to Installing Decision Management Tooling in a Local Container using Podman

podman decision management Recently the open source community project called Podman announced that there was solid support for using its container tooling to replace docker on your local development machine. Ring in the joyous music and off we go to explore how we can get back to basics without the issues of licensing around the developer desktop container tooling.

Note, the rest of this tutorial will be based on the current version of Podman at the time of publication, v3.3.1.

The first thing you want to do is just install the Podman tooling, which is fairly painless using BREW:

$ brew install podman

Now you are ready to kick off the virtual machine with the proper settings to start doing something real, like adding developer decision management tooling to your local machine.

Retail data framework - Example data architecture

retail data framework
Part 3 - Example data architecture
In our previous article from this series shared a look at the logical common architectural elements found in a retail data framework solution for retail organisations.

The process was laid out how we've approached the use case and how portfolio solutions are the base for researching a generic architecture. 

It continued by laying out the process of how we've approached the use case by researching successful customer portfolio solutions as the basis for a generic architecture.

Having completed our discussions on the logical view of the architecture, it's now time to look at a specific example.

This article walks you through an example stock control scenario showing how expanding the previously discussed elements provides an example for your own stock control scenarios.

Retail data framework - Common architectural elements

retail data framework
Part 2 - Common architectural elements

 In our previous article from this series we introduced a use case around the data framework for retail stores.

The process was laid out how we've approached the use case and how portfolio solutions are the base for researching a generic architecture. 

The only thing left to cover was the order in which you'll be led through the details.

This article starts the real journey at the very top, with a generic architecture from which we'll discuss the common architectural elements one by one.

This will start our journey into the logical elements that make up the real-time stock control architecture.
