At Qoddi, we are strong advocates and sponsors of open-source projects, and with the recent decision from Heroku to stop offering free plans (used by a lot of open-source developers), we felt the importance of having an alternative ready to keep those projects running. Qoddi's infrastructure is compatible with most of Heroku's buildpacks and we wrote a guide to migrate a project from Heroku.

Organizations scramble to adopt new frameworks and methodologies to make the software more scalable. Plus, they need to do it in a reliable way that doesn’t cause more problems. Enter Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), a set of practices introduced by a Google engineer. But how does it stack up to frameworks like DevOps? DevOps and SRE both enhance the software development and product release cycle.

HAProxy. High availability and a reverse proxy–it’s in the name, but what does it all mean? Before understanding how the two concepts work together in the load balancing space, we need to unpack the basics of high availability and how a reverse proxy functions.

Healthchecks is a cron job monitoring service which listens to HTTP requests and email messages ("pings") from your cron jobs and scheduled tasks ("checks"). It lets you update your job to send an HTTP request to the ping URL every time the job runs. When your job does not ping Healthchecks.io on time, then you will receive an alert! If you use Healthchecks for your monitoring needs, you can now integrate it with Squadcast to route detailed alerts from Healthchecks to the right users in Squadcast.

In the world of DevOps, every second counts. Problems need to be fixed fast, but with the intention that it’s done with a legitimate purpose for when something’s wrong. Continuous monitoring helps with automation and setting up the right kinds of alerts. If the system is going haywire, every moment not acting can make things worse. That’s why intelligent alerting is critical for enabling observability and continuous effective monitoring.

Managing containerized applications or microservices can be difficult. It is even more demanding and error-prone if you do it manually. So, what’s the alternative? Container orchestration. Container orchestration is an automation technology that helps engineers coordinate when containers start and stop, schedule and execute tasks, manage failovers, and perform recovery processes. The technology helps automate these tasks throughout a container's lifecycle.

Today, it is crucial that an organization’s application’s scalability matches its growth tempo. If you want your client’s app to be robust and easy to scale, you have to make the right architectural decisions. Cloud native applications are proven more efficient than their traditional counterparts and much easier to scale due to containerization and running in the cloud.

Developers are building features at an unprecedented speed using what they need from the software ecosystem. These ever-expanding options include open-source libraries and packages, SaaS tools, deployment systems, cloud services, and more. To keep things secure, we always need the same thing: a secret.
