For anyone involved in software development, the “infinity loop” is synonymous with DevOps — and rightfully so. We know that software is rarely in a static state for very long. Continuous updates are required to meet the demands of users and to deliver more value, faster than the competition.

Containers and microservices have revolutionized the way applications are deployed on the cloud. Since its launch in 2014, Kubernetes has become a de-facto standard as a container orchestration tool. Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes that makes it easy to install and manage applications on your Kubernetes cluster. One of the benefits of using Helm is that it allows you to package all of the components required to run an application into a single, versioned artifact called a Helm chart.

In the ever-evolving landscape of software development, where agility and reliability are paramount, Kubernetes has emerged as a game-changer with its container orchestration capabilities. However, as applications become more complex and distributed, managing Kubernetes workflows presents a unique set of challenges.

Containers and microservices have revolutionized the way applications are deployed on the cloud. Since its launch in 2014, Kubernetes has become a de-facto standard as a container orchestration tool. With traditional approaches of deploying applications in production, developers often release updates or new features all at once, which can lead to issues if there are bugs or other issues that weren’t caught during testing.

Curious about continuous deployment vs delivery? We explain what each is, what happens in each step, and their importance in the DevOps lifecycle.

Feature flags (also known as feature toggles or switches) are conditional statements in code that determine whether a feature or functionality is visible and accessible to users of an application or service. They offer programmers a powerful tool for managing feature releases. Their capabilities are indispensable in software development, where agility and continuous, automated delivery are paramount.
