Here at Moogsoft, we take quality seriously and one of the most important goals for our test suites is to catch issues early on in the development process. A lot of our automated tests are integrated into our CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) pipeline as gates that can block a merge request with quality issues. Therefore, to ensure stable CI/CD pipelines as well as quick and quality releases to production, it is important to have tests that are stable and lightweight.

Edge computing is likely the most interesting section of the broader world of IoT. If IoT is about connecting all the devices to the Internet, edge computing is about giving more processing power to devices at the edge. Edge computing views these edge devices as mini clouds or mini data centers. They each have their own mini servers, mini networking, mini storage, apps running on top of this infrastructure, and endpoint devices.

PHP is one of the most popular programming languages on the web. It powers many widely used content management systems like WordPress and Drupal, and provides the backbone for modern server-side frameworks like Laravel and Symfony. Despite its popularity, PHP has a bit of a reputation for being slow and hard to maintain. It has gotten better in recent years, but there are two features that high-performance PHP applications will likely need: OPcache and PHP FastCGI Process Manager (PHP-FPM).

Monitoring is the most important aspect of infrastructure operations. Effective monitoring strategies help in optimizing infrastructure usage, better planning, and easy incident resolution. While monitoring preceded DevOps, DevOps has further transformed the software development process to such an extent that monitoring has to evolve as well.

The number of publicly available Helm charts is continuously growing and while this is great for the community, it can be challenging to navigate the vast sea of Helm charts and Helm chart repositories. Like a ship’s captain, you need more than just a list of where you can go, but the details to ensure those under your charge arrive certainly and safely. Not just what can be seen on the surface, but what lies underneath, and the hazards that await.

Kubeflow Pipelines are a great way to build portable, scalable machine learning workflows. It is one part of a larger Kubeflow ecosystem that aims to reduce the complexity and time involved with training and deploying machine learning models at scale. In this blog series, we demystify Kubeflow pipelines and showcase this method to produce reusable and reproducible data science.

Tag mutability can introduce multiple functional and security issues. In container land, tags are a volatile reference to a concrete image version in a specific point in time. Tags can change unexpectedly, and at any moment. In this article, we’ll learn how we can prevent them.
