How DevOps Benefits from Application Performance Monitoring (APM)

Competition is a funny thing. To gain or keep an edge against your competitors, you may need to push the envelope to use newer technologies and processes. But done wrong, that very technology or process could lead to your ruin. This is where we are with DevOps. The methodology that became popular in the mid-to-late 2000s is embraced by many companies . Done the right way, it will help your organization challenge its competition to keep up with customer and user demands.

Why You Should Go Serverless for DevOps

Over the last decade, DevOps has become an important part of software engineering culture, influenced by the wide adoption of microservices, containers and cloud computing.

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 defacto 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.

Crafting the perfect Java Docker build flow

What is the bare minimum you need to build, test and run your Java application in Docker container? The recipe: Create a separate Docker image for each step and optimize the way you are running it. I started working with Java in 1998, and for a long time, it was my main programming language. It was a long love–hate relationship. During my work career, I wrote a lot of code in Java. Despite that fact, I don’t think Java is usually the right choice for microservices.
