Achieving High Availability (HA) Redis Kubernetes clusters with Calico Clustermesh in Microsoft AKS

According to the recent Datadog report on real world container usage, Redis is among the top 5 technologies used in containerized workloads running on Kubernetes. Redis database is deployed across multi-region clusters to be Highly Available(HA) to a microservices application.

Did Your Datadog Bill Explode?

Custom metrics is a key component for many companies. Stock available in warehouses, shopping cart status, number of products sold, and operational status for industrial machines are some of the many KPIs that companies need for their own business tracking purposes. When it comes to custom metrics and observability platforms costs, many companies are struggling to find a good balance between availability, performance, reliability, and costs.

Ephemeral Environments vs Ephemeral Services: Weighing the Pros and Cons

In today's fast-paced software development world, Ephemeral Environments have emerged as a game-changer. These temporary, mirror-like copies of production environments are invaluable tools for testing code changes, debugging, and various development tasks. They offer developers a safe haven to experiment and test without impacting the stability of the production environment. One of the primary benefits of Ephemeral Environments is their fidelity to the production environment.
