Velocity, much like the pulse rate or oxygen level of an individual, is an important measure of health for your development team. A low velocity score for recent sprints limits your team's options for delivering value. Sustained failure to deliver to stakeholders can erode trust with those stakeholders quickly. But how do you know exactly what your velocity is and how you can improve it?

Today we’re announcing a new round of funding that brings an additional $27M to help us invest in growing and building Codefresh. When we started, we wanted to revolutionize the way people build and deploy software with continuous integration and delivery. I’m proud to say that we were the first platform to see the game-changing value of containers and Kubernetes.

Cloud cost management is essential for business success, especially in times of business and global volatility. However, gaining quick and clear visibility into all your containerized workloads so you can control and improve the way they are being used, has not been so simple to date. At Spot, we have been addressing these issues and recently introduced cost analysis and showback tools for Kubernetes within our Ocean solution.

In this article we are going to consider the two most common methods for Autoscaling in EKS cluster: The Horizontal Pod Autoscaler or HPA is a Kubernetes component that automatically scales your service based on metrics such as CPU utilization or others, as defined through the Kubernetes metric server. The HPA scales the pods in either a deployment or replica set, and is implemented as a Kubernetes API resource and a controller.

In this post, we will cover some of the main use cases Filebeat supports and we will examine various Filebeat configuration use cases. Filebeat, an Elastic Beat that’s based on the libbeat framework from Elastic, is a lightweight shipper for forwarding and centralizing log data. Installed as an agent on your servers, Filebeat monitors the log files or locations that you specify, collects log events, and forwards them either to Elasticsearch for indexing or to Logstash for further processing.

This article will focus on using fluentd and ElasticSearch (ES) to log for Kubernetes (k8s). This article contains useful information about microservices architecture, containers, and logging. Additionally, we have shared code and concise explanations on how to implement it, so that you can use it when you start logging in your own apps. ‍Useful Terminology.

This blog is part of our series on how to use Atlassian features, automations, and integrations to take time back to ship better code, faster.

Picture this: you've landed in a Development team that practices DevOps religiously (or maybe you're even leading one!). But despite spending hours integrating your tools and reading your edition of the Phoenix Project, you still feel like there's something missing.

Lately we’ve been working on improving different parts of the Mattermost server, including our monitoring and observability capabilities. We’ve been using Prometheus and Grafana to monitor our cluster for a while now, and you can read this great post where my colleague Stylianos explains how we have them working for our multi-cluster environment.

Monitoring your Azure cloud computing environment requires an understanding of each component of your Azure infrastructure and how they all interact. Cloud computing with Azure offers each of the three main advantages of cloud service providers: infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS). Combined, these three services provide a comprehensive cloud-based computing setup for any business.

For a website to succeed in 2020, it’s not enough for your content to be engaging. As we all spend more time online, we want websites to be fast and the experience to be seamless. Those that don’t will lose out on customers even if their content is top-notch. Cutting down on your website’s loading time is one of the best ways to improve the overall user experience (UX).
