gRPC is an inter-process communication protocol used in high-performance applications in cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), mobile computing, and microservices environments. This article examines how gRPC works, how to use it, and how it compares to other popular API architectures. It also discusses a unique use case where gRPC excels.

Epinio is a Kubernetes-powered application development engine. Adding Epinio to your cluster creates your own platform-as-a-service (PaaS) solution in which you can deploy apps without setting up infrastructure yourself. Epinio abstracts away the complexity of Kubernetes so you can get back to writing code. Apps are launched by pushing their source directly to the platform, eliminating complex CD pipelines and Kubernetes YAML files.

We recently partnered with GameCI to bridge the gap between CircleCI and the game development scene. This partnership brought forth the Unity orb, a reusable component of config you can plug into your CircleCI configuration file to build and test your Unity projects. For a while now, continuous integration and delivery have been part of the software development cookbook of several software houses and IT departments. However, this is often not the case in game development.

3DS OUTSCALE aims to provide local cloud services with global reach.

With Datadog’s Dash conference right around the corner, we at Cortex have been thinking a lot about best practices for observability. To get the most out of an application performance monitoring (APM) vendor like Datadog, you want to make sure monitoring and observability are built into launch and production readiness checklists.

At incident.io, our number one priority in engineering is pace. The faster we can build great product, the more feedback we can get and the more value we can deliver for our customers. But pace is a funny thing. If you optimise for pace over a single month, you’ll quickly find yourself slowed down by the weight of your past mistakes.

For an organization to prevent cyberattacks, it first needs complete visibility into all the events that occur within its network. With this visibility, the organization can analyze risky behavior by users and entities, and take the necessary steps to proactively secure itself. However, if an attack were to still happen, the organization again needs complete visibility to identify how and from where the attacker entered the network.
