Docker Compose Logs: Guide & Best Practices

Docker Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. It allows developers to streamline the process of configuring, building, and running multiple containers as a single unit with a docker-compose.yml. This configuration file specifies the services, networks, and volumes required for an application, and their relationships and dependencies. The docker-compose logs command displays the logs of all services defined in the docker-compose.yml file.

How to Successfully Transition from DevOps to Platform Engineering

Are you thinking about switching from platform engineering to DevOps? You're not alone. In order to remain competitive, many organizations are making this crucial change as the world of software development and operations continues to change. This article will discuss the reasons behind the transition, what it implies, and most importantly, how your organization may successfully manage the change.

Leveraging Calico flow logs for enhanced observability

In my previous blog post, I discussed how transitioning from legacy monolithic applications to microservices based applications running on Kubernetes brings a range of benefits, but that it also increases the application’s attack surface. I zoomed in on creating security policies to harden the distributed microservice application, but another key challenge this transition brings is observing and monitoring the workload communication and known and unknown security gaps.

The Cost of Upgrading Hundreds of Kubernetes Clusters
