Part I: A Journey of a Thousand Binaries - Types of Software Dependencies

As software developers, one of the things that we worry a lot about is our software dependencies. To speed up delivery time of new functionality within our code we reuse software – we don’t have time to reinvent the wheel. We stand on the shoulders of giants and leverage all the hard work and lessons learned from the software developers of our past. Sounds great right! Well mostly great because we are faced with the underlying trials intrinsec to software development.

Cloud 66 Feature Highlight: Audit Logs

What are Audit Logs? Audit Logs automatically record all user activities across all of your applications and team members. Audit Logs provide you with all the information you need to assess changes made to your account, such as IP address, date and time (displayed in your timezone), geo-location (accurate to the city), and the team members involved.

Create Outstanding AWS Infrastructure with Terraform and Qovery

Terraform combined with Qovery is like giving superpower to DevOps and developers. I am super excited to launch a brand new GitHub repository with "ready-to-use" examples to deploy crazy AWS cloud architecture with Terraform and Qovery. Feel free to use them, modify them and share them with us and our community.

Monitor SQL Server and Azure managed databases with Datadog DBM

Datadog Database Monitoring (DBM) provides comprehensive visibility into SQL queries running on your databases. Using DBM, you can troubleshoot database performance issues by drilling into frequently used queries and analyzing historical trends in your queries’ metrics and execution plans. Whether you operate self-hosted SQL Server instances or leverage Azure’s fully managed services, DBM can provide deep visibility into the databases your application depends on.

How MoovingON Improved GreenRoad's Platform Reliability

When GreenRoad experienced a period of intense growth and expansion within a short time, the organization knew that it would need to upgrade its NOC support services to meet the standards of its new prominent and international clients. In addition, as their platforms rely on cloud support, finding a provider that could offer high availability and fast and efficient service was critical, and MoovingON seemed the perfect candidate.

Honeycomb Supports Service Ownership

The software industry is moving toward teams that own the services they build. This concept encloses principles and possibilities from movements toward microservices, DevOps, Agile, and Project to Product. In these paradigms, a team of people delivers software that provides valued capabilities. These capabilities help customers get their work done, support business operations, or enable other software to do these.

Local Kubernetes Environments: Part 2

Kubernetes shouldn’t be reserved for production. Using local Kubernetes in development means you can build and test your service using the same technologies as your live deployments. Some organizations provide a shared Kubernetes cluster for development activities. Others offer on-demand virtual clusters that serve staging environments for significant changes.
