Role-Based Access Control is an effective means to enable authentication and ensure only the authorized personnel have access to sensitive data within the platform. This blog explains how to implement RBAC in your organization's Squadcast account to achieve maximum security and confidentiality during Incident Management. We recently released this new functionality into Squadcast (called RBAC) that helps organizations fine-grain the access control provided to users within our platform.

Amazon EventBridge is an AWS serverless event bus service making it easier to build event-driven applications. It uses events generated from your applications, integrated Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications, and other AWS services. It delivers a stream of real-time data from event sources to target services like AWS Lambda. You can also set up routing rules to determine the destination where you wish to send the data and build decoupled application architectures.

As we step into another year, its time to reflect back on our most memorable moments & milestones that tell the story of Squadcast in 2021. 😇 The last 12 months have been nothing short of a spectacular journey for us as a company. We raised funding (Yaay!🙌), launched an open-source tool called SLO Tracker, helped organizations globally improve their reliability and made on-call shifts in general less stressful. Here’s how our year went by.

Deploying applications to Kubernetes can be complex as you may be required to create multiple interdependent resources. This blog explains how Helm can help software professionals to package, configure and deploy applications onto Kubernetes.

Modern day software development approaches such as DevOps, have certainly reduced development time. However, tighter release deadlines push security practices to a corner. This blog explains how Shifting Security to the Left introduces security in the early stages of DevOps Lifecycle, thus fixing software bugs proactively. We have come a long way in the DevOps lifecycle, from releasing the code every month(or sometimes more than that) to every day(or every hour).

Holiday season's peak traffic is the most challenging period for SREs and on-call engineers. In this blog, we have highlighted the things that SREs can do to make the holiday season less chaotic. The recently concluded Black Friday weekend could have potentially been the most challenging shift for on-call engineers working in the Retail or E-Commerce sector. Since such peak-traffic events push the system to the limits, engineering teams are engulfed in a lot of tension preparing for it.

Infrastructure as Code tools like Terraform provides greater support for automation, especially when dealing with multiple resources in a complex cloud infrastructure. In this blog, learn how Terraform can make your life simple by launching multiple instances in one-go. If you are new to Amazon AWS and need to create or launch multiple resources in one go, then nothing is better than using Terraform count. The Terraform count argument allows you to launch as many resources as you wish, of the same kind.

Infrastructure as Code provides a convenient way to manage and automate deployments to cloud infrastructure. In this blog, learn how Terraform can be used to perform Infrastructure as Code. If you are planning to automate your cloud infrastructure then nothing could be better than Terraform. Terraform is the most widely used and popular automation (infrastructure as code) tool that allows you to build and manage infrastructure easily and efficiently.

Using Code to create and manage deployments is more time-efficient and less tedious when compared to using CLI or even UI. In this blog, we explore the buzz around the usage of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and how Terraform can be used to implement IaC. In this blog post, we will explore the good, the bad, and the ugly sides of infrastructure as code so you can make an informed decision on how (and why) to incorporate it into your workflow.

Improving your influence over the company will help you deliver high quality work as your goals will be closely aligned with those of the company. In this blog piece, Ricardo has explained how to improve your influence as an SRE. Balancing fast-paced business requirements with the demands of keeping production services stable is not an easy task.
