How We Defined The Pricing Model of Qovery

Pricing is a complex topic matter, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to pricing. Few things impact growth and revenue as much as your pricing. Finding the right balance between value and revenue will make or break your business. While most founders have a clear product vision and have thought through things like their go-to-market strategy or hiring plans, surprisingly, few have an idea about what their pricing should look like.

Disk performance collection on virtual appliances in VMware

A virtual appliance is a pre-integrated, self-contained system that combines a software program (e.g., server software) with just enough operating system to run correctly on industry-standard hardware or a virtual machine, such as VMware. Virtual appliances offer many advantages for enterprise IT, including the ability to package a solution as a single product to quickly create ready-to-use systems in the cloud or on-premises, with little to no setup.

Golang Testing Frameworks for Every Type of Test

While Go provides a testing package and a go test command, the former only offers basic testing capabilities. The package also has some drawbacks, such as missing assertions and increasing repetition with large-scale tests. As a result, several Go testing frameworks have been created to augment it. Go testing frameworks consist of tools and resources for creating and designing tests. Some of these frameworks incorporate the testing package and go test command, while others take a different approach.

Code Manager improvements reduce deployment time and effort

Over the past few months, we set out to drastically reduce the amount of time Code Manager takes to deploy code and sand down some rough edges to make it more stable and robust. In order to understand what we were able to achieve, we need a quick primer on how code is deployed to a Puppet Server in the first place. There are three parts to a Code Manager code deployment: We’ve improved each of these three parts of the Code Manager code deployment.

Bare-metal or Cloud? The cost of performance and traffic

Bare metal servers are a valuable option for all sizes of businesses, including small, medium, and startups companies. When designing infrastructure it is important to manage cost. However, the decision on whether to run your application on bare metal or cloud provider should not be driven by the size of your company but by your infrastructure needs. Each approach has its own tradeoffs and complexities, especially since it is difficult to find two clouds with the same parameters.

How secure is your Grafana instance? What you need to know

One of Grafana’s most powerful features is the ability to funnel data from hundreds of different data sources (i.e., services or databases) into a single dashboard without migrating the data from where it lives. You can connect and correlate data from Grafana’s curated observability stack for metrics, logs, and traces, or third-party services, such as Splunk, Elasticsearch, Github, Jira, and many more.

Why Reliability Engineering Matters: an Analysis of Amazon's Dec 2021 US-East-1 Region Outage

In the field of Chaos Theory, there’s a concept called the Synchronization of Chaos—disparate systems filled with randomness will influence the disorder in other systems when coupled together. From a theoretical perspective, these influences can be surprising. It’s difficult to understand exactly how a butterfly flapping its wings could lead to a devastating tornado. But we often see the influences of seemingly unconnected systems play out in real life.
