Introduction to Dubbo

Apache Dubbo is an RPC service development framework designed to address service governance and communication issues in microservice architectures. Official SDK implementations are available in multiple languages, including Java and Golang. Microservices developed with Dubbo possess built-in capabilities for remote address discovery and communication, leveraging Dubbo’s rich service governance features to achieve needs such as service discovery, load balancing, and traffic scheduling. Dubbo is designed for high extensibility, allowing users to easily implement various customized logic for traffic interception and service selection.

Can Apache Dubbo, Now a Decade Old, Ride the Waves Again?

Thu, 14 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Throughout the history of open source in China, it is hard to find a second project as controversial and discussed as Dubbo.

On one hand, its open source in 2011 filled the gap of RPC frameworks used in production environments, and it was widely adopted upon release; on the other hand, it experienced a halt in maintenance, a restart, donation to the Apache Foundation, and then graduated as a top-level project.

Dubbo Go Review and Outlook

Mon, 11 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Dubbo is a high-performance RPC framework open-sourced by Alibaba in 2011, which has significant influence in the Java ecosystem. On May 21, 2019, Dubbo graduated from the Apache Software Foundation and became an Apache Top-Level Project. Currently, the graduated Dubbo project’s ecosystem has officially announced the introduction of the Go language, releasing the Dubbogo project. This article is a complete review and genuine outlook of the Dubbogo project, collaboratively completed by Yu Yu from Ant Financial and Fang Yincheng from the Ctrip R&D Department.

Annual Review and Summary of Apache Dubbo from 2019 to 2020

Mon, 11 May 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Thank you all for your attention to the Dubbo community. In this article, we will summarize the achievements made by the Dubbo community over the past year, covering both community and framework evolution, and look forward to future plans (roadmap) for the Dubbo community and framework. Community building is a very important aspect of promoting Dubbo’s healthy and sustainable development. We need to maintain positive interactions within the community, have active contributors, and engage in constructive discussions. Over the past year, the entire Dubbo community has made significant progress in this regard. In terms of framework evolution, we primarily released 6 feature versions from 2.7.0 to 2.7.5, covering various aspects including programming models, protocols, service governance, and performance optimization. In addition to released features, we also explored deeply into areas such as Dubbo 3.0 protocol, service introspection, and cloud-native directions. Support for these areas will be crucial for Dubbo’s future work, and we hope to share more detailed thoughts and plans through this article.

Meet Dubbo

Sat, 26 Jan 2019 00:00:00 +0000

I am a programmer with a Dubbo obsession.

Dubbo has accompanied me throughout my coding career for a short time in various ways. Not long ago, I was elected as a Committer through community voting. At that time, I posted a phrase on my social network, which encapsulated my journey from starting to use Dubbo, researching Dubbo, contributing to Dubbo, and finally becoming a Committer, providing me with a unique source of internal joy: it’s particularly happy to see footprints in the process of growth.

Publishing Dubbo Admin Images on DockerHub

Mon, 23 Apr 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Dubbo Admin is the service governance center for Dubbo, providing many features such as service governance and configuration management needed for daily operations.

Dubbo Admin includes both front-end and back-end code. If users need to download the source code and compile it themselves, it will take some time. This experience is not ideal, especially for users who wish to quickly research and try Dubbo Admin.

Docker is an open-source application container engine that allows developers to package applications and their dependencies into a portable image. There is a strong demand in the community for a Dubbo Admin image. Docker maintains a public repository, DockerHub, which also has many domestic mirrors, allowing for faster access. Publishing the Dubbo Admin image to DockerHub is a good choice.

How to Contribute to the Dubbo Community

Sun, 11 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Introduction

This article was first shared at the Apache Dubbo meetup in Chengdu, where the topic was discussed for the first time. It’s not that we lack better topics; rather, we believe this topic is crucial and even suggest it should be covered in every meetup.

Most of you are familiar with the development history of Dubbo. Dubbo was open-sourced on GitHub in 2011 and, for several years, was not maintained due to various reasons. It was restarted by Alibaba in July last year and donated to Apache on February 16, 2018.
