How do you choose an API style and API technology when you start a new project? Today, if you look at API technology research such as RapidAPI Developer Survey and Insights, you’ll probably conclude that REST is the dominant force in the API landscape. While REST is certainly well-known to most developers and used in a lot of production environments, it may not be the best fit for every scenario.

You may be as surprised as I am that the 2021 State of DevOps Report is live on the site before the annual tradition of a summer holiday (for those of us in EMEA anyway). We may or may not have done this intentionally in order to provide you with quality vacation reading.

Due to innovations in technology and automation, technology keeps changing and transforming with time. IT monitoring and management is an important aspect of all organizations regardless of their size, location, or workload. When it comes to IT processes, issues and protocols, all concepts are universal and face similar issues everywhere. This IT management terms or IT monitoring terms glossary brings together numerous IT components, issues, protocols and processes.

Welcome to the Civo update for July 2021. In this edition we unveil some of the data from our Kubernetes in 2021 developer survey, a sneak peek at GitHub Copilot, and a case study on how Civo and StorageOS combine to provide cloud native storage for our Kubernetes platform.

Flyway is an open-source database deployment tool that also includes a paid tier called Teams. Since it’s open-source, you can just download Flyway and run it for free. You’ll get a robust DevOps tool to assist you in deploying your databases just like you deploy your code. It just works. So, why would you even bother to pay for Teams? Actually, there are a number of reasons why people pay for advanced tiers of open-source software in general.

In the latest DBAle podcast episode our hosts, Chris and Chris, tackled what they really mean by cataloging a database and how taking a ‘giraffe’s eye view’ approach to compliance is not enough. That’s because the most common data concerns for managers and execs center around where your sensitive data is, the risk it poses and, if you’re migrating to the cloud, how much sensitive data is being stored on that database or that instance.

Are you looking for solutions to deliver rapid application development and iterations? You’re not alone. To accomplish this, many organizations are embracing cloud native containers across multiple cloud providers. The reason? This strategy reduces the risk of vendor lock-in, and helps you scale the application infrastructure horizontally.

Technical teams are under more pressure than ever to move faster, protect revenue and availability, and push mean time to resolve (MTTR) ever lower. However, teams frequently find themselves encumbered by complex, repetitive, and manual tasks, rather than innovating. When urgent incidents arise, organizations often have to wait for specific developers or subject matter experts (SMEs) to deploy a fix.
