I remember when it used to take me several hours to deploy my JHipster application. Setting up the required services (DNS, CDN and the database) for a modern web application took time. Here's how to put online a JHipster application in less than 15 seconds now. See the result here Enjoy! :)

If you want to submit good pull requests, start with our contribution checklist. Today, that page talks about what to fork, how to style your code, how to write unit tests and where to push your code. Implicit in all of that is the need to write great code, of course! But this blog post isn’t about writing great code, it’s about making your pull request a great experience for you and your reviewers.

It is no secret that it is not that hard to accidentally spend a boatload of money on AWS. This Twitter user told the story of his $77,000 mistake with a monkey emoji (because what’s funnier than spending the price of an entry level Tesla by accident.) The scary part is that many of us have been there. If you are not looking at your cloud bill every day, it is easy to let the costs run up quickly, then suffer from bill shock when it arrives a month later.

In this article, we are going to look at deploying Jaeger on Kubernetes and OpenShift with Elasticsearch storage using operators. We will go through the configuration (custom resources) and also see what benefits OpenShift offers over vanilla Kubernetes.

The future of software testing depends upon the amalgam of human ability and machine capability. Implementing automated software testing with native manual testing allows testers to easily replicate processes, resulting in more efficient and accurate testing.

Local prototyping has become de rigueur for most web stack developers in the last few years. Even complex web backends are generally assumed to be emulatable from a developer’s laptop. But this assumption breaks down a bit as we explore the AWS platform in general. More specifically, serverless architecture challenges the system of local prototyping.

I recently spoke with Matthew VanTassel, CTO at Rise to learn how he’s using InfluxDB at home to make his house smarter, to improve his online gaming and to understand his garden better. Understanding the versatility of InfluxDB at home helped him realize the full potential of InfluxDB in his job.

It’s been a while since I have had the pleasure of announcing a new version of Security Monitoring (September 2018), but today I am doing just that. There is nothing better to inspire spending your evenings coding and playing with Splunk than your partner watching shows that just don’t interest you! For my UK friends, yes ‘Love Island’ is that show and for my more international friends "look it up!". So, what updates did I bring?
