Anyone who tells you they can automatically and generally “right-size” compute instances simply doesn’t understand how software works.

Most software developers think of Authentication as a solved problem. We can rely on a mature set of standards, such as OAuth2, OIDC, SAML, and JWT, and libraries in every language that make it easy to implement authentication. Developer APIs from vendors such as Auth0, Okta, and others make this even easier. What about Authorization?…

Almost anyone who has been tasked with a new infrastructure project in the last few years has considered using cloud computing to solve their problems. The faster time to value and the variety of services to quickly solve virtually any need, have made the initial decision an easy one. Although in the long term, well-known…

API management and enterprise integration services provider has introduced the public beta of Choreo, its new platform for creating and managing integrations, microservices, services and APIs. The company also acquired cloud native app platform provider Platformer to assist with this effort. Choreo is an integration platform as a service (iPaaS) for cloud native development. With…

With cloud-based services dramatically speeding up the deployment and continual upgrading of applications, IT security has gotten massively more complicated over the past decade. But if the cloud makes everything a hundred times faster, it also multiplies threats to those applications at the same pace because of the speed and complexity. Organizations report that the…

For the last couple of decades, many of us have benefitted from the massive changes that the Internet has brought into our lives. We are now accustomed to constant access to information, the virtual community building made possible by social media, and the ease and convenience offered by e-commerce websites. All of this made is…

Do you have multiple Kubernetes clusters and a service mesh? Do your virtual machines and services in a Kubernetes cluster need to interact? This article will take you through the process and considerations of building a hybrid cloud using Kubernetes and an Istio Service Mesh. Together, Kubernetes and Istio can be used to bring hybrid…

The line between hybrid cloud and multicloud is blurry at this point. The hybrid cloud is certainly more expansive in its definition (public, on-prem, edge). The "multicloud" generally refers to multiple public clouds. What makes it blurry is that the cloud is a mentality, not a physical location. As a result, we see the terms…

Enterprises have been monitoring application performance for almost as long as we've had applications. But recent development trends — including the move to hybrid infrastructure, containers, microservices and, most recently, serverless functions, IoT and edge computing — make it difficult for legacy tools and approaches to keep up. Observability bridges this gap, bringing advanced analytical…

Psion 5MX is deservedly considered one of the best portable devices with a mechanical keyboard in history. Is it really so? Let’s find this…

gRPC is highly useful for fast, efficient data exchange and client/server state sync. Here's a performance gotcha we ran across.

Build systems were developed to simplify and automate running the compiler and linker and are an essential part of modern software development. This blog post is a precursor to future posts discussing our experiences refactoring the training projects to use the CMake build generator. Using Build Systems Build systems can be standalone command line applications such as  Make, Scons and Ninja; or part of an (Integrated Development Environment IDE) like Visual Studio , XCode or IAR Workbench. Configuring build systems for a project [...]

DORA Engineering Metrics are research-based metrics that give a high-level view of a dev team's health. LinearB provides an easy way to track these metrics.

Collaboration is more than just writing a comment on the internet.

French supplier Kalray has launched a K200-LP acceleration card for accessing NVMe storage. The card uses fabless semi-conductor company Kalray’s in-house-developed VLIW (Very Long Instruction Word) Massively Parallel Processing Array (MPPA) processor, with 80 cores. A PCIe Gen 4 link is used to connect the card to a host server CPU. The card has dual […]

Perhaps it’s related to what you think you deserve: Kindness. Dignity. A chance to speak up. A fair shot at achievement. The benefit of the doubt. PS today is Juneteenth.

Since I’m done with fighting in the red ocean of the surveillance-dominated Web, I’ve decided, while busy working in the blue ocean (on what for now we’re calling i-commerce), to …

One of the success factors for Agile and DevOps is developers changing the way they work and adopting practices like Test-Driven Development (TDD). It’s not something that just happens by itself, and many of the “usual” ways of introducing change fail for TDD. This article outlines some of the things that actually do work and explains “Samman,” which is a coaching method used with developers.

A practical guide to starting your own Internet Service Provider.

Kubernetes' advantages aren't just what it can do, they're also what knowing it can do for you.
