Do you know where your engineering bottlenecks are hiding?

Do you know where your software engineering bottlenecks are hiding? Jacpocket used Sleuth to track DORA metrics, which revealed the software development team suffered from infrequent releases. Here's how Sleuth helped. Give Sleuth a try and see how we empower software teams to build faster by making engineering efficiency easy to improve and measurable — in a way that both managers and developers love.

How to Achieve Zero-Downtime Application with Kubernetes

I’ve worked on on-premised and managed Kubernetes clusters for more than seven years. What I can say is that containers have drastically changed the hosting landscape! It has brought a lot of facilities where complex setups were required. Having several instances, with rolling restart, zero downtime, health check, etc. It was such a pain and time effort before (implementing VRRP solution, application monitoring restart with monit like, load balancing haproxy like)!

Best Practices and Potential Loopholes for Successful Microservices Architecture

Microservices architecture is a software development approach where an application is built as a collection of small, loosely coupled, independently deployable services. Each service focuses on a specific business capability and operates as an autonomous unit, communicating with other services through well-defined APIs. This architectural style is often used in the context of DevOps to create more efficient, scalable, and manageable systems.

Optimizing Web Security Operations for Remote Work Environments

The shift towards remote work has been one of the most significant transformations in the modern business landscape. While it offers flexibility and a broader talent pool, it also introduces unique challenges, especially in the realm of web security. As businesses adapt to this new norm, optimizing web security operations becomes paramount.

What causes Azure costs to increase?

As the adoption of cloud computing continues to surge, Microsoft Azure remains one of the leading platforms for businesses seeking scalable and efficient cloud solutions. I have been using Azure for a couple of years now; it provides a wide range of services and features, allowing organizations to host applications, store data, and deploy various workloads on a pay-as-you-go basis.

What is a hypervisor? A beginner's guide

In the realm of virtualisation and cloud computing, the hypervisor is a critical component that enables the seamless operation of multiple virtual machines (VMs) on a single host. While virtualisation is a technology, the hypervisor is its actual implementation. In this beginner’s guide, we will explore the fundamentals of hypervisors, their types, and how they differ from container runtimes. We will also review some of the leading hypervisors available today.
