Perhaps because so few of us have been able to travel recently, or perhaps because wanderlust is just good fun, we’ve been wondering as to where the best place to live is as a DBA. And not just where pays the most, or where the opportunities are, but where would truly be the best place to live day-to-day. Some of the findings might surprise you! If you live in any of the places mentioned, we’d love to hear about your experience of living there in a comment below.

In this article, we’re going to explore key reasons why companies need status pages. We’ll also dive into the components of an accurate status page that does its job well. This will make it easier for you to set up your own status page, even if you’ve never done it before.

Calico is the industry standard for Kubernetes networking and security. It offers a proven platform for your workloads across a huge range of environments, including cloud, hybrid, and on-premises. Calico has had a high-quality, production-ready, performant, eBPF data plane option for some time! However, although many users are deploying it in production and benefitting, we still sometimes see users who don’t know that Calico has an eBPF data plane or feel confident deploying it, and.

The JFrog Security research team continuously monitors popular open source software (OSS) repositories with our automated tooling, and reports any vulnerabilities or malicious packages discovered to repository maintainers and the wider community. Most recently we disclosed 11 malicious packages in the PyPI repository, a discovery that shows attacks are getting more sophisticated in their approach.

The two words, “Enterprise Architecture”, elicit various reactions and have no standard definition in the dictionary or technical manual— everything from “we tried that and it’s too much work” to “we need that!” to “what does it mean to have an effective EA practice”. Trial and error also taught us it’s possible (even easy) to do Enterprise Architecture incorrectly!

When it comes to the applications, websites, and services we build, the end user ultimately determines whether or not the end product is successful. Even the greatest concepts can fall short if the application does not consistently meet the evolving needs and expectations of the user. Just look at what happened to sites like Myspace or Yahoo.

Although refactoring isn’t typically listed as one of the core phases of the software development lifecycle, you cannot leave it out if you intend to keep code running efficiently. The unfortunate thing about software is, it doesn’t usually age very well. Even seemingly perfect source code progressively decays over time — due to the ever-morphing tech ecosystem.

Today, I found a bug before I noticed it. Like, it was subtle, and so I wasn’t quite sure I saw it—maybe I hadn’t hit refresh yet? Later, I looked at the trace of my function and, boom, there was a clear bug. Here’s the function with the bug. It responds to a request to /win by saving a record of the win and returning the total of my winnings so far. Can you spot the problem in the TypeScript? It’s subtle. Now here’s a trace in Honeycomb: Now do you see the bug?

Shipa in your organization/team can help usher in the next generation of engineering efficiency and developer experience. Though like any platform, there requires some wiring to bind Shipa to infrastructure. In this modern example, can plug into your IaC strategy in creating Kubernetes clusters then auto-wires all of the needed Shipa pieces at cluster creation time.

An outstanding customer experience is one that keeps customers coming back, while spreading the word about their experience. Your applications are the heartbeat of that service delivery experience for both customers and other end users. When the experience wows, customer satisfaction grows.
