To give back to our community of developers, we looked at our database of thousands of projects and found the top 10 errors in PHP apps. We’re going to show you what causes them and how to prevent them. Avoiding these "gotchas" will make you a better developer.

Customers are the lifeblood of a successful enterprise. Yet too often, enterprises fail to keep their customers up to date during an outage. In these scenarios, enterprises risk alienating customers and losing them to rivals. To better understand why this may be the case, let’s consider an example.
It is easy to communicate when you are only two. That was us when starting off WebGazer. The easiest way to decide on an issue was to discuss it in person or on the phone. We did not need to think on in-house culture, values and so on. This is mostly due to the fact that we, two of us, were all those at once.

We are happy to announce the launch of a new tool on CDNPerf.com called CDN Price Calculator. With this new tool you will be able to calculate how much you would spend if you used any of the CDNs out there. The parameters are very flexible and allow you to enter the total bandwidth, the % per region, number of HTTP requests and more.

The article talks about network discovery tools and processes, and why it’s important to automate and standardize. Many business processes (security management, service delivery and service support) depend on the administrator’s knowledge of the network details.

But if those apps run in the cloud, critical components are often delivered by a third party or the cloud provider. In the case of a service disruption or degraded performance, how do you know what the problem is—your code, the network, or the provider? And, if the problem is with the service provider, how do you convince them to take action as quickly as possible?
With the increasing adoption of containerization, the need arose to manage, schedule and control clusters of containers, and that’s where Kubernetes comes in. Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications, generally being Docker containers. When interfacing with Kubernetes, 2 competing tools are often discussed: Terraform, and Helm.
