A little over 2 months ago, we announced Mattermost Omnibus (beta). Mattermost Omnibus is a new, time-saving approach to installing Mattermost. Since then, we’ve done a massive amount of testing, listened to your feedback, and added new features and options. Today, I’m excited to share some big news. The project is officially graduating from Beta status and is ready for any single-server deployments for use as test, dev and/or production Mattermost servers.
Mattermost is a platform based on collaboration — not built simply for facilitating team and asynchronous communication, but built on the philosophy that having the ability to collaborate efficiently makes the world safer and more productive for everyone. This is true in many day-to-day situations in an organization, but it is especially true in the world of DevOps. When an emergency arises, information needs to be moved from person to person and team to team as quickly as possible.
Over the course of 2020, Community events have changed. We’ve seen sweeping changes in everything from the way people get together online, to the way they interact, to the platforms they use to meet. Mattermost is a Community-driven company, and as such we continue to try to work and interact with our Community as much as we possibly can.
We’re excited to announce the release of GitHub Plugin version 2.0, which adds some new features that increase productivity and reduce the need to context switch between Mattermost and GitHub. As usual, our open source community members have played a key role in developing all of these features and I’d like to say “Thank You!” for their help. Our GitHub plugin is one of the most popular integrations on Mattermost and we use it every day as part of our development process.
One of the key benefits of using Kubernetes is that it’s very flexible and fault tolerant. However, that also means that it has quite a lot of complexity to deal with. A well-built operator abstracts that complexity away and helps manage updates and upgrades seamlessly. The Mattermost Kubernetes operator is basically like having a Mattermost Cloud Engineer running inside your Kubernetes cluster managing Mattermost for you.
Mattermost Release v5.28 is generally available today. The new feature release offers granular administrator roles, certificate-based authentication with AD/LDAP, and in-product notifications. The release includes the following new features.
Our customers are always looking for ways to work faster and more effectively inside Mattermost. As a remote-first company, we spend most of our time collaborating inside Mattermost, and we’d like to think we’ve learned a thing or two about how to use Mattermost productively over the years. Here are some of our favorite tips and tricks for getting things done on Mattermost. We hope these examples help your team achieve similar productivity gains.
Efficient and frictionless communication has always been an important concern for our company, Quera. In the past, we have had problems using various communication tools. But after finding Mattermost, we knew it was a perfect fit. Now, we use it extensively as our main team collaboration tool.
As many on-site organizations scramble to adopt remote work, DevOps teams are turning to messaging and integrated workflows to collaborate effectively. Usual office work practices are changing, and people are having to adapt to a remote-first approach. This demands a change to your company culture, a remote mindset and the tools to deliver it.
The pressure to ship quickly is greater than ever before. But for many organizations, including the U.S. Air Force, security and compliance concerns severely limit their ability to quickly adopt and integrate new technologies, putting teams at risk of being locked into approved vendors and missing out on critical innovations. In order break the cycle of slow-moving development, Platform One, the U.S.
