On August 16, a high-profile tech meetup focusing on cloud-native open source projects was held at Singapore Institute of Technology NYP Building, organized by ByteDance Open Source in collaboration with the CNCF, Cloud Native Community. The tech meetup was organized with the active participation of many guests and participants from within and outside the industry.

Keith Chan, Linux Foundation VP of APAC and President of CNCF Asia Pacific, gave the opening address at the event, focusing on the development of cloud-native technologies in the current market. He noted that motivations for organizations to adopt cloud native include improving Resource efficiency, elasticity and availability, supporting multi-cloud and hybrid cloud deployments, and accelerating development. He emphasized the widespread adoption of cloud-native tools such as Kubernetes in the enterprise, mentioning success stories such as the practices of Zoom and Fidelity Investments. He also mentioned Gartner’s predictions, noting that future AI applications will be based on containers and serverless technologies, while edge computing will get a boost. He emphasized the importance of certification and training in helping organizations adopt cloud-native technologies, mentioning the Kubernetes conformance certification program.

CloudWeGo

CloudWeGo is a set of microservices middleware developed and open sourced by ByteDance to solve the challenges delivered by the rapid growth of microservices and to meet increasingly complicated business requests. Based on this origin, CloudWeGo can be used to build enterprise-class cloud-native microservices architecture with common characteristics of high-performance, high-extensibility and high-reliability.

For maintenance and support, CloudWeGo team follows a key principle of maintaining one set of code internally and externally, iterating them as a whole. We respond to every issue and PR from any single person as quickly as possible. We support any reasonable requests and technical issues from our enterprise in specialty and for free.

CloudWeGo team values the real prosperity of the community. Up to now, there are more than 250 contributors coming from all over the world continuously contributing to the CloudWeGo community and more than 100 thousand individual users who are visiting the CloudWeGo website. Industry adoptions now include areas like Gaming, Security, Finance, E-commerce and AI with more than 30 enterprise users who have left their use cases on the corresponding issues.

Kitex

Kitex is CloudWeGo’s first open-source microservice framework, designed to empower developers in building high-performance microservices using Golang. It provides multiple protocols including thrift and gRPC and various features more than RPC such as service governance, observability.

In the sharing, we introduce the strong extensiblity of Kitex. The design of interface in Kitex enables users to integrate customized modules like Codec, Transport and Middleware. It allows us to cooperate with the internal platforms in Bytedance and the open-source components in a very convenient way. For high performance, we introduced the optimization of Codec by more efficient memory management and a new solution Frugal based on JIT that does not need code generation and uses high performance assembly code in runtime.

Kitex contributes to the open-source community with several extensions of open-source components. We shared some use cases including opentelemetry for tracing each rpc with detailed events, proxyless mode with Istio for traffic management and Generic call that is suitable for building API gateways. For enterprise support, we assisted more than 10 enterprise users to adopt Kitex in the production environment and achieved high performance and stability in their systems.

ByConity

ByConity is an open source Data Warehouse system designed for modern IT architecture changes and, it is designed with a Cloud Native architecture. It provides excellent query and write performance while meeting the needs of Data Warehouse users for resource elastic volume expansion and contraction, read and write separation, resource isolation, and strong data consistency.

ByConity uses a large number of mature OLAP technologies, such as column storage engine, MPP execution, intelligent query optimization, vectorization execution, Codegen, indexing, and data compression. It also makes technical innovations for the particularity of cloud scenarios and storage and calculation separation architectures.

In this speech, there is an introduction to ByConity and best practices and recommended scenarios.

KubeWharf

KubeWharf is a collection of open-source tools from ByteDance built on Kubernetes. It aims to provide solutions to key challenges of large-scale cloud-native infrastructure such as scalability, stability, multi-tenancy isolation, resource efficiency and observability.

Currently, there are 6 open-source projects in KubeWharf. This time we introduced KubeAdmiral – Enhanced Kubernetes Federation.

KubeAdmiral is a multi-cluster management system for Kubernetes, developed based on Kubernetes Federation v2. KubeAdmiral allows users to easily manage multiple Kubernetes clusters and propagate workloads to member clusters through a unified interface and resource pool. With its rich and scalable scheduling and distribution framework, KubeAdmiral supports a diverse set of use cases including but not limited to:

• Dynamic replica distribution based on real-time resource utilisation.
• Cross-cluster disaster recovery.
• Configurable scheduling profiles with a rich set of scheduling plugins.
• Override policies.
• Automatic propagation of dependencies with follower scheduling.
• Status aggregation of member cluster resources.
• Scalability, stability and user experience enhancements.

Internally at ByteDance, KubeAdmiral manages 210,000 nodes and supports 100,000+ microservices. It has been officially open-source in 2023.
