We are very excited to announce Calico v3.7. Here are some highlights from the release.

Istio is a hot technology right now. Giants such as Google and IBM have devoted entire teams of engineers to the project to push it to production readiness. Since 1.0 has been released recently, I wanted to write down some of the things that confused me coming from a strictly Kubernetes only world where we have Ingress controllers and Service load balancers and how Istio takes these same concepts but on stimulants.

Docker Compose is a great tool to develop your Ruby on Rails application locally. It allows you to easily isolate your ruby environment, database, and even Redis if you use something like Sidekiq.

Writing Go applications in an isolated environment with Docker comes with some great advantages.

We’re on the verge of something here, people. A growing number of companies are shipping software in minutes. Yeah, you read that right. Minutes. Not hours, not weeks, months, or longer. Minutes. Often, teams struggle to ship software into the customer’s hands due to lack of consistency and excessive manual labor. Continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) deliver software to a production environment with speed, safety, and reliability.
