Most development projects involve a wide range of environments. There is production, development, QA, staging, and then every developer's local environments. Keeping these environments in sync so your project runs the same (or runs at all) in each environment can be quite a challenge. There are many reasons for incompatibility, but using Docker will help you remove most of them.

From 2022 to 2023, worldwide cloud spending is expected to increase to $597.3 billion, up from $491 billion in 2022. Year over year, that’s a 21.64% increase. Compare that to the 15.42% increase (at the time of writing) in the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index, and you see a simple, inconvenient truth: Cloud spend is outpacing business growth by a substantial margin. It’s no wonder that cloud efficiency sits at the top of many companies’ priority lists.

Kubernetes has revolutionized how modern applications are deployed, managed, and scaled. As the container orchestration platform of choice, Kubernetes provides a dynamic and highly efficient environment for running containerized applications.

Applications within Kubernetes clusters are arranged through Pods, which are managed and scaled by various controllers.

Imagine yourself with a folder containing millions of gigabytes of data. If you were asked to process it with an Excel spreadsheet, you wouldn’t need to be a data expert to know that’s impossible. We refer to that amount of data as “big data”. Big data requires advanced techniques, tools, and methods beyond what regular data analytics entails, which is where big data analytics comes in.

In the ever-evolving landscape of modern software development and deployment, Kubernetes has emerged as a prominent solution to manage and orchestrate applications. This technology has redefined how applications are deployed and maintained, offering a flexible and efficient framework that abstracts the underlying infrastructure complexities. In Kubernetes, you define how network traffic should be routed to different services and pods.
