Containers are no longer the next big thing in the industry. They are mainstream now. This means they should be treated seriously and not like a novelty. What are the main areas of concern when you want to add a new tool to your stack? For most of us stability, security, and observability are the things that matter the most.

Today we are proud to announce Submariner, a new open-source project enabling network connectivity between Kubernetes clusters. We launched the project to provide network connectivity for microservices deployed in multiple Kubernetes clusters that need to communicate with each other.
Today, we’re excited to announce support for Google Cloud Platform. Now, you can manage your Google Compute Engine virtual machine instances using the same advanced scheduling options already available in Skeddly.
In the world of web applications, Web Frameworks (WF) existed for a very long time. Traditional WF existed in a world without the notion of microservices, let alone the notion of serverless.
