Choosing an API technology: gRPC, REST, GraphQL

Jul 20, 2021 By Jura Gorohovsky In Speedscale

How do you choose an API style and API technology when you start a new project? Today, if you look at API technology research such as RapidAPI Developer Survey and Insights, you’ll probably conclude that REST is the dominant force in the API landscape. While REST is certainly well-known to most developers and used in a lot of production environments, it may not be the best fit for every scenario.

When Disaster Strikes: Ensuring Your DRP Actually Works

Jul 20, 2021 By Gremlin In Gremlin
Black swan events are inherently unpredictable—you can’t prepare for every possible threat. Instead, you must identify the ways systems can fail and develop strategies to restore them to full service when these failures happen. But a disaster recovery plan (DRP) can’t be relied on until it’s been proven to work. The use of Chaos Engineering allows you to test your DRP much more safely and predictably than you could otherwise.

SRE's Guide to Chaos & Observability

Jul 20, 2021 By Gremlin In Gremlin
Today’s distributed, cloud-based environments are incredibly complex. Not only does each component depend on many others, but modern systems are also highly dynamic—changing frequently as teams push new code or make updates to infrastructure. Taming this complexity to ensure reliability requires end-to-end observability to understand how components depend on each other. Additionally, proactive Chaos Engineering combined with AI-driven observability lets you uncover “unknown unknowns” that impact how your system will respond to different failure scenarios.

Building Reliable Applications Webinar 6 17 21

Jul 20, 2021 By Gremlin In Gremlin
Test-driven development (TDD) is a process that ensures quality in the applications we develop while guarding against feature creep/skew. But as our applications have become increasingly complex, traditional testing methods are not enough. Traditional testing only evaluates what we know, but complex systems often fail due to unknowns—the things that are almost impossible to test because we are unaware of them. Chaos Engineering is the exception that allows us to test for what we don’t know.

Dissecting DevOps - Measuring quality in a SaaS world: SLA, SLI, SLO

Jul 20, 2021 By Splunk In Splunk
Now that software is delivered over the web and not in a box, how developers guarantee quality to their users has radically changed. Users do not care about version numbers or floppy disks. They just want access to a service that just works. In the microservices world, the quality of your service both to your internal users and external is measured by SLAs, SLIs, and SLOs. And how you decide what those metrics are is a key strategy.

Data cataloging: A giraffe's eye view

Jul 19, 2021 By Louise Domeisen In Redgate
In the latest DBAle podcast episode our hosts, Chris and Chris, tackled what they really mean by cataloging a database and how taking a ‘giraffe’s eye view’ approach to compliance is not enough. That’s because the most common data concerns for managers and execs center around where your sensitive data is, the risk it poses and, if you’re migrating to the cloud, how much sensitive data is being stored on that database or that instance.

How to Accelerate Software Delivery with Hybrid Cloud CI/CD

Jul 19, 2021 By Mark Milinkovich In JFrog
Are you looking for solutions to deliver rapid application development and iterations? You’re not alone. To accomplish this, many organizations are embracing cloud native containers across multiple cloud providers. The reason? This strategy reduces the risk of vendor lock-in, and helps you scale the application infrastructure horizontally.

What's New With Runbook Automation: Rundeck 3.4.1

Jul 19, 2021 By Vera Chan In PagerDuty

Technical teams are under more pressure than ever to move faster, protect revenue and availability, and push mean time to resolve (MTTR) ever lower. However, teams frequently find themselves encumbered by complex, repetitive, and manual tasks, rather than innovating. When urgent incidents arise, organizations often have to wait for specific developers or subject matter experts (SMEs) to deploy a fix.
