LaunchDarkly Integration: Feature Flag Aware Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting is the understanding of changes within the system and their impact on its health, behavior, and functionality. However, as dev environments grow exponentially more complex, the definition of “the system” itself also constantly expands. To keep pace, we constantly work to evolve Komodor’s platform and enrich it with new capabilities and integrational options.

They promised that they would never lose the key, that with the app your would be able to open the door remotely and even through a webcam in the peephole, the device will be able to recognize your face and welcome you.

Javascript Pointers (They do exist!)

Javascript is often criticized for being a simple language, but if you take a closer look, there is actually a lot of nuance to it. For example, other languages often have pointers which are a way to store a reference to a specific place in memory. In C, Golang, and C# pointers are made using the ‘&’ operator. At first glance, there seems to be a conspicuous absence of this functionality for javascript.

GitOps meets AppOps

Kubernetes allowed us to manage application deployments and infrastructure components using declarative configuration files (yes, those YAMLs that you may not be a fan of ). While dealing with a myriad of YAML files may be loved by some and hated by others, it enables us to host all these files into a Git repository, hook it up to a pipeline (Jenkins, GitLab, etc.), and have a tool apply those changes to a cluster—and voilà, you have GitOps.
