Widespread adoption of containerized infrastructure has been closely followed by an explosion of container-native tools for each layer of the stack, including new solutions for managing CI/CD pipelines in container-based environments, such as the Argo suite, FluxCD, and Tekton. This is because these lightweight solutions make it easier to automate builds, testing, deployments, and more on Kubernetes, as well as other platforms that manage containerized workloads and services.

When planning a migration from Heroku to AWS, it’s essential to grasp the complexities inherent in transitioning from a managed Platform as a Service (PaaS) like Heroku to the intricacies of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provided by AWS. This shift demands not just an adaptation to a different architectural framework but also a strategic approach to overcome operational and technical challenges that can significantly affect both performance and cost efficiency.

I am super excited to announce the release of our complete guide on how to run GitOps with Qovery! GitOps revolutionizes infrastructure management by using Git repositories as the source of truth, offering a more streamlined, reliable, and automated workflow.

In the past decade, Platform as a Service (PaaS) has revolutionized the way companies deploy and manage applications. With promises of scalability, operational ease, and cost efficiency, PaaS attracted myriad businesses looking to leverage cloud technologies and reduce time to market. However, as these platforms have matured, many organizations have realized that PaaS, while powerful, is not without its pitfalls.

In the fast-paced world of software development, the ability to quickly and reliably deliver software is paramount. This need has led to the evolution of CI/CD—Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, and Continuous Deployment—practices that streamline and automate the development lifecycle. Below, we explore these core CI/CD concepts and related automation practices that are transforming the software industry.

In today’s fast-paced software development landscape, the need to deliver high-quality software rapidly and reliably is paramount. Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery/Deployment (CD) have emerged as essential practices that enable development teams to meet these demands. Central to the success of CI/CD pipelines is a robust framework for testing and quality assurance (QA).

Kubernetes has revolutionized how developers deploy, manage, and scale their applications. One of its key features is the ability to scale deployments seamlessly. This article explores various aspects of using the kubectl scale deployment command, including how to scale deployments up and down, scale all deployments in a namespace, managing replica sets, and more.
