At Datadog, we have always been deeply involved with open source software—producing it, using it, and contributing to it. Our Agent, tracers, SDKs, and libraries have been open source from the beginning, giving our customers the flexibility to extend our tools for their own needs. The transparency of our open source components also allows them to fully audit the Datadog software that is running on their systems. But our commitment to open source only starts there.

While the cloud is recognized as more secure than on-premises servers and infrastructures, it does come with the often talked about shared responsibility model. Cloud providers are responsible for security ‘of’ the cloud, while their clients are responsible for security ‘in’ the cloud. It’s ‘differently secure’, rather than the traditionally secure organizations have been used to when working with on-premises environments.

Backstage is a platform for building developer portals. Originally developed internally at Spotify, it’s now open source and available through GitHub. Backstage allows DevOps teams to create a single-source, centralized web application for sharing and finding software (through the software catalog feature), as well as templates and documentation.

We’re here to shed a little light on how you can host and configure your multi-app projects on Upsun with a step-by-step guide on how to set up a project on our platform. Enabling your team to focus more on creating incredible user experiences and less on multi-app infrastructure management. As well as a few multi-app development tips along the way. We’re going to look at this through the lens of a customer on the lookout for multi-application hosting with a few specific constraints.

We recently covered some of the complex decisions and architecture behind Cycle’s brand new interface. In this final installment, we’ll peer into our crystal ball and glimpse into the future of the Cycle portal. Cycle already is a production-ready DevOps platform capable of running even the most demanding websites and applications. But, that doesn’t mean we can’t make the platform even more functional, and make DevOps even simpler to manage.
