Why is application integration so hard - Steef Jan Wiggers

Starting the first session of Day 2 at INTEGRATE, Steef Jan Wiggers explores the intricate world of integration in the session titled "Why is integration so hard". He offers insight into the challenges of connecting diverse systems and technologies, moving from the era dominated by SAP and mainframes to our imminent cloud-forward future. Highlighting pressing topics like the challenges of building in the cloud, the transformative potential of Dapr, and the broad scope of OpenTelemetry (OTel), Steef offers detailed insights.

Webinar: Shining a light on developer productivity

In the last 5 years, we’ve watched the world's fastest growing engineering teams ditch development monoliths in favor of service-oriented architectures that speed time to market. And as microservices multiplied—making it harder to track ownership and quality—Internal Developer Portals (IDPs) emerged to help. But while the prospect of a single portal for developer productivity sounds enticing, veteran leaders know the perception of “one more tool” can make org-wide adoption challenging.

How do you measure software health?

Just like personal health, software health is best managed proactively so you can prevent issues before they occur and avoid costly, stressful outages. Cortex helps you track and improve the health of your software with Scorecards and Initiatives. Scorecards quantify software health by aggregating data from multiple sources to give you a continuous view into the health of your system. Initiatives use Scorecards to drive organizational improvement.

How to Manage, Unmanage, and Move Clusters Between Cluster Groups

Learn how to move a cluster using the VMware Tanzu Mission Control UI and how to unmanage and manage a cluster. A managed cluster can be lifecycle managed by Tanzu Mission Control even if it was created outside of the tool. This option goes beyond attaching a cluster because it includes lifecycle management (LCM) capabilities, while attached clusters do not include LCM support.

Running MongoDB on Kubernetes

Containers are a lightweight, portable, and consistent way to package applications and their dependencies. Containers provide an isolated environment, ensuring an application runs reliably across different environments. Enterprises and tech-savvy individuals are using container technologies because of their benefits. However, container orchestration tools have become necessary to manage clusters with the rise in container usage.

Building on Chaos Toolkit's Foundation: New Features for Resilience Engineering

On October 26th 2023, we had the pleasure of receiving Manuel Castellin, a seasoned expert in chaos engineering and Terraform, who took us through two real-world examples demonstrating how to overcome the challenges of implementing chaos engineering when your infrastructure isn’t initially prepared for it and securely experiment on production systems. In the second part of the meetup, Sylvain Hellegouarch, Chaos Toolkit lead developer and Reliably CEO, showed a quick demo of how to use Reliably to build your experiments in a less code-centric and more visual way.

Implementing Backstage 3: Integrating with Existing Tools Using Plugins

This third part of the “Implementing Backstage” series explains how to integrate Backstage with existing tools and plugins. If you’re at an earlier stage of your Backstage implementation, the two previous installments in this series focus on getting started and using the core features. If you’re looking for a more general introduction to Backstage, you can read the first article in the “Evaluating Backstage” series.
