How reliability differs between monolithic and microservice-based architectures

Microservices have forever changed the way we build applications. Tools like Docker and Kubernetes made microservice-based architectures widely accessible to software developers, and cloud platforms like Amazon EKS made deploying containers fast and inexpensive. They've also enabled even small engineering teams to deploy code faster, leverage fault tolerance and redundancy, scale more efficiently, and take full ownership of their services from development all the way into production.

Why we've open sourced our secure SDLC process template

One of the big things we’ve learned since starting Kosli is that engineers often struggle to define an SDLC for compliance purposes. That doesn’t mean they don’t know how to deliver secure, quality software. They’ve just never had to actually define a process for how they do it. Perfectly capable engineers can spend years shipping great products and features without ever having to properly define and standardize their SDLC.

Load Balancing - What Is It and How Does It Work?

There is a greater need than ever to ensure seamless web application performance. One of the foundational components ensuring this smooth operation is load balancing. While the term might sound technical, its concept is simple and vital for maintaining an uninterrupted online user experience. This article will explore load balancing's various algorithms and types and their significance in modern web infrastructure.

False Positive Alerts: A Hidden Risk in Observability

Observability systems are designed to keep tabs on key metrics, identify unusual patterns, and alert teams when things go awry. Despite best efforts, however, these systems are not infallible, and sometimes they send out alerts for issues that don’t exist. This is what we call a false positive. These false alarms can wreak havoc on team efficiency, lead to alert fatigue, and obscure genuine problems. Let’s delve into what false positives are and why they matter so much.
