Replay Production Traffic to Mock local development environments

Building and debugging Kubernetes microservices can be tough, especially when you don't have realistic data or environments. See how Speedscale can quickly mock DBs and APIs based on observed production behavior, so you can debug and develop features quickly. People familiar with GoReplay will notice a more modern and automated approach to turning user behavior into reproducible developer environments.

How to Load and Performance Test Kubernetes, what is Kubernetes and nuances of the platform

Check out Matt LeRay's talk on How to Test in Kubernetes at Star WEST 2024. Distributed architectures like Kubernetes present unique performance challenges. Autoscaling, Load Balancing and other mechanisms help with resiliency but can also serve to cover up fundamental problems. In this video, learn best practices and high level concepts around Kubernetes and achieving high throughput.

How to get started with a local kubernetes development environment

Mocks can be useful, but hard to build. You can use them as backends for development, or even tests (like load and performance testing). Speedscale takes the legwork out of building mocks, by modeling them after real observed traffic. This video covers a real-world example of how to use mocks to backend a JMeter load test.

Mastering regulatory compliance with incident.io

The origin of incident.io goes back to our days building Monzo, a UK-based bank, where Stephen, Pete, and I first crossed paths. As a bank, compliance with numerous regulations was, unsurprisingly, a top priority. When it came to incident management—something we were very involved in—this meant that every aspect of reporting, policy adherence, and root cause analysis (or "contributing factors," as we called it) had to be managed consistently and meticulously.

Netdata's Integration with ilert: Streamlining Monitoring and Incident Response

Netdata now integrates with ilert, a leading incident response platform. With this integration, the incident management features and alerting capabilities of ilert and the real-time systems monitoring provided by Netdata can be leveraged. By combining both systems, users can not only monitor their infrastructure with fine detail as never before, but also assure the responsiveness of critical alerts to the correct teams swiftly.

Using Kosli attest in Github Actions Workflows - Some Do's and Don'ts

The heart of Kosli’s functionality lies in its attest command. Think of it as a digital notary for your CI process. Every time you complete a significant step in your pipeline (e.g., a security scan, a build, a deployment, etc) you use kosli attest to create an immutable record of that event. However, integrating Kosli into your existing CI workflow isn’t always straightforward. You might find yourself grappling with questions like.
