What if there was a way to deploy a new feature into production — and not actually turn it on until you’re ready? There is! These tools are called feature flags (or feature toggles or flippers, depending on whom you ask). Feature flags are a powerful way to fine-tune your control over which features are enabled within a software deployment. Of course, feature flags aren’t the right solution in all cases.

With ARM based dev machines and servers becoming more common, it is become increasingly important to build Docker images that support multiple architectures. This guide will show you how to build these Docker images on any machine of your choosing.

Docker is a platform as a service product. With Docker, you can easily deploy applications into Docker containers. Containers are software "packages" that bundle together an application's source code with its libraries, configurations, and dependencies.

According to a FlexJob and Global Workplace Analytics report, remote work has grown 44% over the last five years and an astonishing 159% over the last 12. Indeed, much of America relies on a slew of digital apps and services to get business done every day. So what does this mean for businesses?

Today we are rolling out our new "operation log viewer." This feature is not just a new page to show logs but a whole new way to find logs for actions taken by you and your team on your applications. The new log viewer page supports historical deployment logs, allowing you to see logs from previous actions.

Mattermost v7.1 (Extended Support Release) is generally available today. The following new features are included (see changelog for more details).

When you’re already strapped for time and bogged down by cloud bills that seem higher than they should be, you may not be inclined to devote months to researching the best cloud cost tools. And unless you’ve used a cost tool before, you may have no idea where to start. What happens if you use multiple cloud providers? Is one payment scheme better than another? And what do you do if your company hasn’t stayed on top of tagging?
