Software Engineering Daily Podcast

Large portions of software development budgets are dedicated for testing code. A new component may take weeks to thoroughly test, and even then mistakes happen. If you consider software defects as security issues then the concern goes well beyond an application temporarily crashing. Although even minor bugs can cost companies a lot of time to locate the bug, resolve it, retest it in lower environments, then deploy it back to production.

Using Dokku On DigitalOcean

Dokku can be a cost-effective, convenient way to deploy apps to DigitalOcean. SolarWinds® Papertrail™ can make monitoring the logs of those apps simple and frustration-free. Combine these two technologies and you have an effective deployment process and log management system. Let’s look at Dokku first. Dokku is an open-source platform-as-a-service (PaaS). If you’re familiar with Heroku, you can consider Dokku a private Heroku that you manage.

Monitor applications on GKE Autopilot with the GKE Dashboard

Elite software development teams automate and integrate monitoring observability tools more frequently than lower performing teams, per the Accelerate: State of DevOps report. Organizations that need the highest levels of reliability, security, and scalability for their applications choose Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). Recently we introduced GKE Autopilot to further simplify Kubernetes operations by automating the management of the cluster infrastructure, control plane, and nodes.

[Webinar] Observability and Resilience in Microservice Environments with Komodor & Epsagon

Kubernetes has made it easier to manage and scale microservices. However, keeping track of so many moving parts is often challenging for Dev & Ops teams. Achieving clear observability for better monitoring and troubleshooting is key to improving the development process. Part 2 of the webinar, which includes a talk by Komodor's CTO and co-founder, Itiel Shwartz, concluded with a quick demo of Komodor's troubleshooting platform and a Q&A session.

April Online Meetup - Hypper: Dependency-aware package management for Kubernetes

Introducing Hypper, a new package manager for Kubernetes designed with cluster administrators in mind. Hypper is built on Helm and charts but makes some different assumptions around multi-tenancy and dependent charts (which can be useful with CRD handling). Where Helm assumes a user could be one of many users running in multi-tenant, Hypper assumes the user is a cluster administrator managing a cluster.

The future of testing with Launchable

Do we really need to run all the tests every time we make a change to the source code or make a release? That could take minutes or even hours. Wouldn't it be better to run only the tests related to the changes we are making or the phase of the lifecycle of an application? Is the future of testing in AI and ML? Kohsuke Kawaguchi from Launchable might have the answers to those and quite a few other questions.

Going Live: Splunk Operator for Kubernetes 1.0.0

With everything going on in the world, it seems like a lifetime ago that we started talking about the Splunk Operator for Kubernetes, which enables customers to easily deploy, scale, and manage Splunk Enterprise on their choice of cloud environment. During that time, we’ve heard from an increasing number of on-premise and public cloud Bring-Your-Own-License Splunk customers that containerization and Kubernetes are an important part of their current and future deployment plans.

The future of testing with Launchable

In this video with with Kohsuke Kawaguchi (KK) from Launchable and Viktor Farcic we talk about testing K8s applications. Do we really need to write all the tests every time we make a change to the source code or make a release? That could take minutes or even hours. Wouldn’t it be better to run only the tests related to the changes we are making or the phase of the lifecycle of an application? Is the future of testing in AI and ML?
