Heroku is a cloud-based platform that helps companies build, deliver, monitor, and scale applications with high velocity. Heroku's popularity is due to its simplicity, usability, elegance, and focus on the developer experience. Developers find Heroku helpful as they can get their application ready and running with only minimal focus on configuring infrastructure. Heroku scores on easiness in architecting apps, deploying them to flexible cloud infrastructure, and scaling them as required.

So you’ve heard of Kubernetes, and you’ve decided it’s time to dive into what everyone’s talking about. Or maybe you’ve worked with it a little, but you’d like to level up.

According to a 2020 CNCF survey, the use of containers in production has been rapidly increasing for the past several years. Nutanix, a global leader in cloud software and a pioneer in hyperconverged infrastructure solutions, is part of that trend.

Much has been written over the years about DevOps and, maybe a bit more recently, about Platform Engineering. Both jobs focus heavily on designing, building, maintaining, extending, and automating underlying infrastructure components (e.g., Kubernetes, monitoring, security, pipelines, etc.), so their end-users, often developers, can consume it as an integrated platform.
