Official account of Tencent Cloud Middleware. Focuses on microservices, messaging middleware and other cloud‑native technology trends, publishing product updates, case studies, and technical insights. Regularly hosts tech salons to share effective solutions.
This article explains how TSF Mesh adapts Istio’s service‑mesh architecture to run both containerized and virtual‑machine workloads, detailing the modifications for sidecar injection, traffic hijacking, and service registration/discovery, and showing the underlying modules and code changes required.
Apache Pulsar’s built‑in Geo‑Replication lets multiple clusters across different regions synchronize data, offering both synchronous and asynchronous modes; this guide explains the three asynchronous patterns—full‑mesh, unidirectional, and failover—detailing required configurations, operational principles, and current limitations.
Facing challenges of distributed microservice architectures, Tencent’s Smart Retail team built a full‑link performance monitoring platform using Apache SkyWalking and the cloud‑native TSW service, detailing architecture, agent integration, deployment steps, and performance impact to guide similar observability implementations.
This article explains Apache Pulsar’s core architecture—including its message model, producer and consumer behavior, subscription types, storage hierarchy, acknowledgment mechanisms, cursor handling, backlog concepts, retention policies, and storage size calculations—helping readers understand why storage size can exceed backlog size.
This article explains how Apache Pulsar handles message retention, backlog quotas, and TTL policies, detailing the default behavior, configuration commands at the namespace level, practical examples, and troubleshooting tips for common production scenarios.
A Pulsar community expert investigated why MultiTopicsConsumerImpl delivered only a fraction of the expected throughput, identified lock contention and EventLoop overhead as the main culprits, applied lock‑removal and thread‑pool optimizations, and achieved nearly four‑fold performance gains.
This article explains the evolution of backend service architectures, introduces the CAP and BASE theories, and provides detailed walkthroughs of the Paxos and Raft consensus algorithms, covering their roles, constraints, protocol steps, and practical considerations for building reliable distributed systems.
TencentKona 8.0.4 introduces an SM2/SM3/SM4 JCE provider for Chinese national cryptographic algorithms, parallel G1 Full GC, parallel heap inspection, and various performance enhancements, all demonstrated with a micro‑service encryption example and detailed curl commands for practical use.
Tracing has evolved from early log and stack‑trace techniques to modern distributed observability standards like OpenTracing and OpenTelemetry, and Tencent’s Cloud Service Watcher (TSW) demonstrates how cloud providers integrate these protocols to simplify microservice monitoring, performance metrics, and root‑cause analysis.
This tutorial shows front‑end developers how to build and deploy Node.js and Nginx as micro‑services on Tencent Cloud's TSF Mesh using Docker, service registration, governance, and monitoring, providing a low‑cost, zero‑intrusion migration path for non‑Java applications.
