Every product or application needs a release strategy. It’s how you can double check that everything in your deployment is appropriately tested, validated and verified. Having a standardized release strategy in place allows your team to follow a protocol and reduce the number of unknowns they must face in the product life cycle. However, there are a few considerations to make this critical process run smoothly.

Eventarc is a Google Cloud offering that ingests and routes events between GCP products, such as Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, and Pub/Sub, making it easy to build automated, event-driven workflows in complex environments. By taking care of event ingestion, delivery, authorization, and error handling, Eventarc reduces the development overhead that is required to build and maintain these workflows and helps you improve application resilience.

Moving from a monolith to microservices lets you simplify code deployments, improve the reliability of your applications, and give teams autonomy to work independently in their preferred languages and tooling. But adopting a microservices architecture can bring increased complexity that leads to gaps in your team members’ knowledge about how your services work, what dependencies they have, and which teams own them.

A study from ManageForce estimated the cost of a database outage to be an average of $474,000 per hour. Long database outages are the result of poor design concerning high availability.

Linux users cannot just rely on GUI to perform various tasks in their system. Rather they need to have a good knowledge of the various commands available. One of the very useful commands for any Linux user is the find command. This command is used to locate files in one or more directories. Using this command, Linux users can set a specific search area, filter or find the files on the specific area or directory, and perform actions on the files that match the search.

Kubernetes has grown immensely, and its use within organizations is maturing. While Kubernetes’ growth is exciting, security concerns around applications deployed on Kubernetes are mounting. Red Hat performed a survey with hundreds of DevOps professionals, and it showed that 55% delayed application releases due to security issues.

It is important to invest time and effort in understanding why a system performs the way it does and how we can improve it. Companies continue with practices that yield successful results, but ignoring anti-patterns can be far worse than choosing rigid processes. In this blog we will explore anti-patterns in incident response and why you should unlearn those.

A new version of Rancher Desktop with a redesigned user-friendly Preferences dialog and several other improvements has just been released!

At Upsun, we are committed to making your development and deployment experience as smooth and seamless as possible. As part of this effort, we regularly listen to your feedback to see how we can improve things. One of those things: is how complex it can be to configure environment or project settings from the Console. That is why we decided to regroup all settings pages together so that they’re easily accessible from a single location.
