Redefining monitoring with Netdata (and how it came to be)
I wanted to follow up Ron Miller’s article in TechCrunch about Netdata’s Series A funding last month with the story of Netdata’s inception. It all started when I got… pissed off.

Cloud Native CI/CD: How Engineering Teams Accelerate with Kubernetes, Docker, and Codefresh
Is your organization is looking to embrace containerization and microservices? In this webinar, you will learn how Kubernetes manages container-based applications and their associated networking and storage components. You will also learn about the evolving Kubernetes ecosystem, which includes components such as Helm charts, Istio, etc.
Codefresh vs. GitlabCI
If you have selected Gitlab as your git provider, you may automatically think about selecting GitlabCI as your CI/CD solution as well. Using the same vendor for source control and CI/CD might seem natural, but is not always the best combination. In fact, choosing a “good-enough” option just because it is part of the same solution is unwise in the long run if it doesn’t cover your needs.
Disable EBS Fast Snapshot Restores Action
A few weeks ago, Amazon announced a new feature for EBS snapshots: Amazon EBS Fast Snapshot Restore (FSR). Normally, accessing data on new EBS volumes was quite slow as the data is lazy-loaded from S3. When Fast Snapshot Restore (FSR) has been enabled on an EBS snapshot, new EBS volumes created from that snapshot will allow fast data access. While this feature is very good, it’s very expensive to keep enabled on an EBS snapshot for a long time.
VS Code with Jira and Bitbucket - Demo Den December
Learn how to use Atlassian for VS Code, a new Bitbucket Cloud and Jira Software Cloud extension for Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code. Join Senior Product Manager, Integrations, Alastair Wilkes in our December Demo Den. See how to create and view issues, start work on issues, create pull requests, do code reviews, get build statuses, kick off your CI/CD, right where we think they should be: in your IDE, alongside your code.
Stackery User Stories: Matt Wallington, CTO of Sightbox @ AWS re:Invent
Matt Wallington- a Chief Technology Officer of a Johnson & Johnson company- shares his reflections on the power of Stackery for development teams while onsite at AWS re:Invent.
Using Multi stage Docker, Go, Java,& Bazel to DESTROY Long Build Times
Those long build times are EMBARRASSING! In this EPIC click-batey talk, we’ll open up our toolbox to optimize build times down to nothing. Multi-stage Docker will be critical but so will Bazel, Go, and yes, even Java. No matter what kind of environment you’re running, you’ll find some best practices to speed up your times, scratch that, you’ll DESTROY those AWFUL build times with DEVOPS and CI TOOLS.
Why you should be using Multi-Stage Docker Builds in 2019 (EU Time Zones)
Docker multi-stage builds were announced 2 years ago, but sadly not all developers are using them. Using multi-stage builds can result in a much more secure and smaller Docker image. In some cases, you can take a Docker image from 700MB to 20MB, which makes a big difference in the context of CI/CD. In this webinar, we will see how to use multi-stage Docker builds and the best practices around them.
Hybrid CI/CD with Kubernetes & Codefresh
Even though the public cloud has changed the way companies deploy and run applications, there are several cases (finance/healthcare) where all services of an organization are running in secure on-premise datacenters behind strict firewalls, in remote storefronts, or even in mobile locations with low connectivity.
DevOps.com - Helm 3: Navigating to Distant Shores
Since its initial debut 5 years ago, Kubernetes has grown up quite a bit, but one thing hasn’t changed: writing Kubernetes manifest files from scratch is hard. In fact, it’s borderline discouraging for new users looking to use the de facto container orchestrator. Thus, the need for a package manager was born: Helm. Helm is almost as old as Kubernetes (it’s about 4 years old) and Helm 2 is a merger of two code bases, which made for some interesting ways of approaching even the most basic of security concerns (say, RBAC for instance). If you’re familiar with Helm you already know how useful it is, but there are features you’d like added, some updates you’ve wished for and a major component you’d like removed: Tiller.
