Serverless computing is all the rage at the moment, and why wouldn’t it be? The idea of deploying code without having to worry about anything like servers, or that pesky infrastructure everyone complains about seems pretty appealing. If you’ve ever used AWS lamdba or one of its related cousins, you’ll be able to see the freedom that triggering functions on events brings you.
For about a year, since we incorporated CloudHedge.io and during the 18 months of product building before that, we spoke with hundreds of prospects (both partners and clients included). Our team worked directly with clients and with partners, enabling them to try the product and later on-board them.

The Kubernetes ecosystem contains a number of logging and monitoring solutions. These tools address monitoring and logging at different layers in the Kubernetes Engine stack. This document describes some of these tools, what layer of the stack they address, as well as best practices for implementation including an example from the field, a quick start, and a demo project.
Stackdriver Monitoring contains a wealth of information about cloud resource usage, both for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and and other sources. This post will explain how to use the Stackdriver Monitoring API to read, downsample, and export data from Stackdriver to BigQuery. Pub/Sub metrics will be used to demonstrate this.
Docker 18.09 offers the possibility for a Docker client to communicate with a remote daemon via ssh. Here’s how.
With AWS Lambda, we get blue-green deployment out of the box. After we update our code, requests against our function would be routed to the new version. The platform would then automatically dispose of all containers running the old code to free up resources.
