In today’s post, we’ll go over what continuous integration and continuous delivery are, the benefits that come along with employing CI/CD, and some best practices that you should follow. We’ll also explore a wide array of Elixir ecosystem tools that can help you create top-notch CI pipelines. In order to experiment with a handful of the tools that we will be discussing, we’ll use a Git hooks Elixir library to execute our CI/CD validation steps, but on our local machine.

One of the most important steps in an incident’s lifecycle is the postmortem.

Everybody puts value on work. But not all work is the same or valued in the same way. What if we told you there’s a way to gain/protect up to $1 million in new revenue, reduce unplanned downtime by more than 60%, and improve team productivity by nearly 25%? This is where the differentiation of work comes in. Most of our day-to-day work is planned out; i.e., it’s work with structure.

Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK) is an operator that allows you to automate the deployment of the Elastic Stack — including Elasticsearch, Kibana, and Elastic APM, Elastic SIEM, and more — using Kubernetes.

It is the only official Elasticsearch operator.

Number of sessions, total sales, number of transactions, competitor pricing, clicks by search query, cart abandonment rate, total cart value…the analytics tools commonly used by eCommerce companies for performance monitoring can’t include every metric, and even if they did the analysts using them wouldn’t be able to keep up with the amounts of changing data.
