Take a trip down memory lane with Mandi Walls, to chat about the many changes over the years in chaos engineering and other ares of tech. We’ve also got the new addition to Gremlin’s Developer Advocacy, Julie Gunderson who has joined Jason to chat with their mutual friend. Mandi talks about her previous work alongside Julie, but also the variegated nature of her background in operations and systems administration.

We launched in January of 2018, and not a year has gone by where we made significant improvements to our service. Last year we wrote a recap of everything that we did in 2020. With the end of 2021 quickly approaching, let's take a look at all the things we did in the past 12 months.

This is the first part of a blog post series about bytecode transformations on Android. In this part we’ll cover different approaches to bytecode manipulation in Java as well as how to make it work with Android and the Android Gradle plugin. In the next two parts we’ll dive into the actual bytecode, bytecode instructions and how we can modify the bytecode and inject our own instructions, using Room as an example.

When your application starts to grow, one of the essential factors to consider while scaling is memory management. Poor memory management leads to memory leaks, thus affecting application performance. When the performance degrades, it will directly affect the business. So, it is essential to look out for and fix memory leaks in time. This blog post will look at what memory leaks are and how to avoid them in Node.js applications. Feel free to navigate the post using these links.

This december, we are posting security advice and modules, every day until December 25th. Now, it’s December 14th, and we’ve gotten to the fourteenth day of the security hardening holiday calendar.

Onboarding is an in-depth process that sets the stage for relationships with Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and their customers. Perfecting the onboarding experience will give customers the confidence that choosing an MSP to manage their IT was, and is the best choice. A poor first impression can damage credibility, so it’s vital to have a solid plan in place.

By now, you’re probably assessing your level of exposure — or are in the middle of remediating — the recently disclosed vulnerability known as Log4Shell. We recently introduced a native integration with Snyk, a leading provider of developer security solutions, to help you address zero-day vulnerabilities. Once enabled, Snyk scans your code and its dependencies, and alerts you about security vulnerabilities, including Log4j. All current versions of Log4j 2 up to 2.14.1 are vulnerable.

In SRE, we believe that some failure is inevitable. Complex systems receiving updates will eventually experience incidents that you can’t anticipate. What you can do is be ready to mitigate the damage of these incidents as much as possible. One facet of disaster readiness is incident response - setting up procedures to solve the incident and restore service as quickly as possible. Another strategy involves reducing the chances for failure with tactics like reducing single points of failure.

Automating the deployment of a new web application and the release of feature updates goes a long way towards improving the productivity and efficiency of your development team. Another benefit of automation is that it minimizes or even eliminates repeated manual deployments. Manual deployments introduce the risk of human error during this critical part of the development process.
