Tracing Gorm queries with OpenCensus & Google Cloud Tracing

At incident.io we use gorm.io as the ORM library for our Postgres database, it’s a really powerful tool and one I’m very glad for after years of working with hand-rolled SQL in Go & Postgres apps. You may have seen from our other blog posts that we’re heavily invested in tracing, specifically with Google Cloud Tracing via OpenCensus libraries.

Enabling Trust Driven Development - Shipa Insights

When you think of TDD, you might lean towards Test-Driven-Development. Though in Tomasz Manugiewicz’s ACE 2022 talk, the ‘T’ in TDD could also mean Trust e.g Trust-Driven-Development. The talk, boils down to if there is trust, there is autonomy. If there is autonomy, creativity flourishes. Building trust is done incrementally, incremental success builds success. Software engineering is a team sport and an exercise in iteration.

We're increasing the default cron jitter from 5 to 20 minutes

At Upsun, we are committed to making your site perform as best as possible. As part of this commitment, we need to smooth down the system load spikes as much as possible—especially when many crons are triggered at the same time on a particular Grid region. To do so, we are increasing the default cron jitter from five minutes to 20 minutes.

Add traceability to your pipeline with Configuration as Code

Configuring applications, services, and environments by modifying plain text files is a standard part of modern software development. Configuration as Code (CaC) takes this one step further by systematically generating, storing, and managing configuration files. CaC allows development teams to automate config management for their applications and environments while ensuring consistency and traceability throughout the development life cycle.

The future of K3s and Kubernetes

Join us in our roundtable panel as we discuss how the future of k3s is being shaped by the industry and examples of how we utilize k3s applications. Kunal Kushwaha and Kai Hoffman, Developer Advocates at Civo, will address the concepts surrounding k3s as well as where the Kubernetes industry is heading. K3s is designed to be a single binary of less than 40MB that completely implements the Kubernetes API. This is recognized as a fully CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) certified Kubernetes offering whilst removing a lot of the extra drivers that aren’t needed.

geeks+gurus: Tackling Common DevOps and Security Issues in Game Development

In this 25-minute conversation, Melissa Sussmann and Jason Dunne will lead a discussion with special guest Yuval Dovrat - Amazon Web Services, Solutions Architect. Discussion will cover the unique challenges gaming presents for DevOps practitioners and security engineering teams. We will cover.

Kubernetes Cluster Autoscaler vs Karpenter

One of the most exciting things when using Kubernetes is the ability to scale up and down the number of nodes based on application consumption. So you don’t have to manually add and remove nodes on demand and let it go on usage. Obviously what you want is to keep control on the minimum and the maximum number of nodes to avoid an unexpected bill.
