Automating your deployment process is a critical step towards adopting continuous delivery. For teams that use Bitbucket for hosting their source code, Bitbucket Pipelines provide an easy way to automatically build and deploy when changes are made in your origin repository. The Rollbar team is excited to participate in the launch of Bitbucket Pipes, which make it even easier to configure your pipeline.

On this episode of Exception Perceptions, Bret Fisher, Docker Captain and creator of the popular Docker Mastery series on Udemy, helps us master Docker Compose. Watch the episode, and read more of Bret’s suggested best practices. Then go and get all of his Docker resources.

While trying to verify the claims made on a somewhat facile rundown of serverless security threats, I ran across Jeremy Daly’s excellent writeup of a single vulnerability type in serverless, itself inspired by a fantastic talk from Ory Segal on vulnerabilities in serverless apps. At first I wanted to describe how injection attacks can happen. But the fact is, the two resources I just shared serve as amazing documentation; Ory found examples of these vulnerabilities in active GitHub repos!

Kubernetes is quickly becoming the de facto way to deploy workloads on distributed systems. In this post, I will help you develop a deeper understanding of Kubernetes by revealing some of the principles underpinning its design.

Today, I’m thrilled to announce our new free tier and pricing model for teams adopting modern serverless application development. I believe cloud-side development is the future and I want everyone to experience it at their own pace. We also now offer a model that can scale with either teams or workflows depending on how aggressively you decide to adopt cloud-side development.

Today Rancher Labs is announcing a new open source project, k3s, which is a lightweight, easy to install Kubernetes distribution geared towards resource-constrained environments and low touch operations. Some use cases in which k3s really shines are edge, ARM, IoT, and CI. The work for k3s started as a component of Rio, an experimental project we started last year.
