In this post, I’ll recap a conversation I had with Gareth Rushgrove, Director of Product Management at Snyk, a cybersecurity platform that helps developers identify vulnerabilities in their applications.

Monitor RethinkDB with Datadog

RethinkDB is a document-oriented database that enables clients to listen for updates in real time using streams called changefeeds. RethinkDB was built for easy sharding and replication, and its query language integrates with popular programming languages, with no need for clients to parse commands from strings. The open source project began in 2012, and joined the Linux Foundation in 2017.

Test file uploads and downloads with Datadog Browser Tests

Bringing Cloud Load Balancer On-Prem with Rancher

The public cloud offers great scalability and flexibility for customers and is a model where service providers make many decisions on their behalf. For example, in cloud service providers like Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Amazon Web Service (AWS) or Microsoft Azure, a cloud load balancer is spun up on demand.

Optimize Ghost Blog Performance Including Rewriting Image Domains to a CDN

The Ghost blogging platform offers a lean and minimalist experience. And that's why we love it. But unfortunately sometimes, it can be too lean for our requirements. Web performance has become more important and relevant than ever, especially since Google started including it as a parameter in its SEO rankings. We make sure to optimize our websites as much as possible, offering the best possible user experience.

However, with the advent of persistent storage on k8s, stateful applications will be supported. In the pet Vs cattle analogy of service, you would want to treat the storage as cattle.
