A look at key findings from the 2021 State of DevOps report and best practices from Weave GitOps as a way to implement these learnings.

As both hybrid and multi-cloud implementations become more prominent, how should we define these and other related terms?

Calyptia uses Fluentd and Fluent Bit to help organizations with first-mile observability, the collection of data from multiple sources – such as applications, infrastructure and network devices – that is then parsed and transformed and eventually sent to backend databases and data lakes.

The last time we looked at a cruise ship lifeboat, it was the massive fiberglass CRV55 used by Royal Caribbean. Passengers climb directly aboard from the deck, and the craft is then lowered to the water by winches. Viking Cruises, however, has a different approach to lifeboat deployment:

At KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America, the company introduced a new tool that brings together more than 400 open source observability integrations.

Komprise has introduced Deep Analytics Actions (KDAA), a product which provides a systematic way to find specific data across hybrid cloud storage silos and can move a subset of data to data pipelines.  KDAA is a managed hybrid cloud service. It builds a global file index, stored in the public cloud, by indexing data in-place […]

NetApp, is announcing the availability of an “early preview” of a file-focussed addition to its Astra family of Kubernetes products so that users get block stores and a cloud-native file store. Astra Data Store (ADS) is a Kubernetes-native shared file unified data store for containers and virtual machines (VMs) with advanced enterprise data management and a […]

Storage news comes in waves and there’s so much of it right now that the production of a weekly digest can’t keep up. Here’s the latest batch of news presented in a ticker tape-style format as a kind of experiment to see if we can keep up with the rush better. … WANdisco’s LiveData Platform […]

we need to recognize that protecting our infrastructure definitions is imperative, just like protecting our code. And this requires a “shift left” in how we secure our infrastructures, identifying risks as they enter the git, ideally by forcing a pull request check before it is merged.

the best practices employed by many experienced software developers. You can use design patterns to make your application scalable and flexible.

We recently looked at some of the changes and new features arriving with the upcoming version 1.7 release of the Julia programming language. The package system provided by the language makes it easier to explore new language versions, while still preserving multiple versions of various parts of the ecosystem. This flexible system takes care of dependency management, both for writing exploratory code in the REPL and for developing projects or libraries.

Service mesh integration software provider  has added support for GraphQL to its Gloo Mesh and Gloo Edge products, bringing the popular API query language to both its Istio-based service mesh and its Envoy-based API gateway. In all, the company will be adding “a GraphQL server, resolvers, a GraphQL schema generator, and schema stitching for GraphQL […]

There are many barriers to producing software that is reliable and maintainable over the long term. One of those is software complexity. At the recently concluded 2021 KVM Forum, Paolo Bonzini explored this topic, using QEMU, the open source emulator and virtualizer, as a case study. Drawing on his experience as a maintainer of several QEMU subsystems, he made some concrete suggestions on how to defend against undesirable complexity. Bonzini used QEMU as a running example throughout the talk, hoping to make it easier for future contributors to modify QEMU. However, the lessons he shared are equally applicable to many other projects.

In this article, we’ll go over the requirements that drive the evolution of B2B SaaS applications, and provide some advice that will help you sell your application into enterprise customers as you move up-market.

In this latest episode of the New Stack Makers podcast, we interview the CEO  and co-founder of mulitcloud management platform provider Mist.io,  Chris Psaltis. Here we discussed the inherent difficulties and possible solutions for running operations across multiple cloud services, as well as how Mist.io can help.

Service Mesh Performance (SMP): Measure your service mesh performance using SMP. SMP provides a universal performance index to gauge your mesh’s efficiency against deployments in other organizations’ environments.

Layer5 announced Service Mesh Performance, an open source standard for service mesh efficiency, a growing consideration for cloud native operators and developers utilizing a service mesh in their infrastructure.

Kubernetes was initially designed to run stateless workloads. Today it is increasingly being used to run databases and other stateful workloads.

The challenges that arise in implementing transaction handling in microservice architectures, and possible solutions for handling them.

Today I want to share a very cool feature of Suzieq, which I've been using a lot at the moment, but before I dive in, for those of you who are new to Suzieq... Suzieq is an observability platform that allows you to query your network using a common set
