The Mattermost team is actively working on our next major product release: Mattermost v6.0 is shipping this fall. That’s right around the corner! In advance of the release, we’d like to communicate some specifics on select features being promoted from beta to generally available and upcoming deprecations. We would also like to share a glimpse of what’s coming.

This is the fourth installment in a series of articles on Mattermost plugins. First, we talked about how to set up your developer environment. We then examined the structure of server-side and web app plugins before walking through how to build a server-side plugin in Mattermost. In this piece, we’ll explore how to create web app plugins. The web app is written in JavaScript. It uses Redux, and you can write your plugin in Typescript as well. In this article, we’ll use JavaScript.

And so now, in version 1.1, we go well beyond automating cluster operations to orchestrating complex topologies, adding alerts, and previewing active-passive replication.

Since it first appeared in June 2014, Kubernetes has become something of a household name, at least in houses developers live in. The open source container orchestration platform makes challenges like load balancing, secret management, and portability a cinch and makes it easy to orchestrate large, highly scalable and distributed systems.

Here’s the next installment in our Mattermost Recipes series. The goal of these posts is to provide you with solutions to specific problems, as well as a discussion about the details of the solution and some tips about how to customize it to suit your needs perfectly. If there’s a Recipe you want us to cook up in the future, drop us a line on our forum.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, many organizations are adopting or experimenting with new models of long-term remote work. For some, that means keeping their teams fully distributed.
