Investigating TCP timeouts at scale

At Mattermost, we’re on a quest to scale our application by one order of magnitude, from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of concurrently active users per installation. Scaling up is a complex effort involving expertise at several different levels. At its core, it’s a game of catching the next bottleneck — whether it’s application CPU usage, memory consumption, database throughput, networking, or any combination of the above (among other causes as well).

Logic App Workspaces: A Comprehensive Overview

Understand how the Cyber Resilience Act will impact device manufacturers

The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is a European Union legislation that will enter into force in 2027. Its overall goal is to make devices safer by implementing more rigorous cybersecurity, documentation, and vulnerability reporting requirements for the IT industry. The CRA is especially relevant for device manufacturers, who will need to ensure devices are secure throughout the product lifecycle.

Autoscaling in Cloud Computing

Autoscaling in cloud computing is the ability of a system to adjust its resources in response to changes in demand automatically. This guarantees that applications always have the resources they need to perform optimally, even during periods of high traffic. Autoscaling eliminates manual intervention, allowing your dev team time to focus on your product. All major cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform offer robust autoscaling solutions with many features and capabilities.

Mastering Local Preview Environments: A Beginner's Guide

Local preview environments are transforming how developers test and validate code changes before merging them into the main codebase. Acting as temporary cloud environments, they provide a production-like setting where new features and bug fixes can be tested in isolation, catching issues early and streamlining the development code review process. These environments are crucial for enhancing development velocity, especially in CI/CD workflows used by DevOps engineers and QA teams.
