GPipe is a distributed machine learning library that uses synchronous stochastic gradient descent and pipeline parallelism for training, applicable to any DNN that consists of multiple sequential layers. Importantly, GPipe allows researchers to easily deploy more accelerators to train larger models and to scale the performance without tuning hyperparameters.

A Docker registry’s primary purpose is to store and distribute Docker images. This may seem like a relatively trivial task, but with a large-scale compute cluster like Uber’s, it can easily turn into a scaling bottleneck. Developed by Uber, Kraken is an open source peer-to-peer Docker registry capable of distributing terabytes of data in seconds.

Both HTTP 1.x and HTTP/2 rely on lower level connection-oriented protocols, namely TCP/IP and TLS. These protocols provide reliable delivery and correct order when data is chunked into multiple packets. TLS also includes encryption and authentication.

Fundamentally, a microservice is just a computer program which runs on a server or a virtual computing instance and responds to network requests. How is this different from a typical Rails/Django/Node.js application? It is not different at all.
