Creating a platform? You're in the right spot. Our mission at Cycle started with a clear purpose: to create the best platform for building platforms. Here's the thing, there's really no easy way to build a platform. It requires making a lot of tough technology decisions that can affect success, growth, and upkeep for years to come. There are however some ways to make things simpler. Here are the three technology decisions I've seen make the biggest impact and how to navigate them.

Kubernetes, an open-source platform for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications, has come a long way since its inception. As it celebrates its 10th birthday, here’s a look back at its history and milestones.

Fast scaling is a pressing business need in many B2C industries like media distribution, streaming, and gaming. Spot by NetApp is proud to offer the fastest scaling on earth with its enhanced Ocean controller.

System observability is an essential part of identifying performance issues within your environment because it provides a comprehensive view of how your systems are operating at a glance. Typically, observability is achieved through the collection and analysis of metrics. These metrics, generated by your applications, are deliberately incorporated by developers into the source code to offer insights into the application’s internal processes.

In the world of DevOps, engineering organizations are constantly seeking solutions that can simplify operations, reduce overhead, and accelerate development. While a number of container orchestration platforms exist, their complexity and high maintenance demands often leave engineering leaders seeking alternatives. This is where Cycle comes in. Cycle’s LowOps container orchestration and infrastructure management platform is designed to get your team to 80% efficiency from day one.

Developer Experience (DevEx) refers to the various tools, practices, and environments that developers interact with to make their work more streamlined and productive. The value of DevEx is immense, as a better developer experience is directly tied to increased productivity and the production of higher-quality software. I have shortlisted 11 great tools that provide an outstanding developer experience by automating routine tasks, encouraging collaboration, and reducing hurdles in the development journey.
