Qoddi vs Heroku and AWS: what to choose as a Startup

You have many options when it comes to choosing a platform to deploy your app. In this article, we will compare AWS, Heroku, and Qoddi.

Should you use Kubernetes for your Startup?

Developers love containers for their portability and flexibility. Suitable for today’s cloud-native environment and agile development requirements, containers make it super-fast to develop, test, and run applications. Besides this, they are lightweight and can optimize the platform (and the host OS) they are deployed on. Now, for powerful applications with hundreds of containers, the platform should also be portable, flexible, extensible, and efficient.

Enhanced Network Monitoring with Progress Flowmon

Ensuring that networks and the applications they enable are performing as well as they should is a full-time and challenging task for system administrators. We've all encountered scenarios in which end-users complain that an application is slow. Then the network team says it's not their problem, and the development team (or third-party application vendor) also says it's not their problem either.
