We break down the NuGet ecosystem in Cloudsmith's first ever hosted webinar!

The CNCF Annual Survey 2021 is in and makes for some very encouraging reading for the future of Kubernetes and its place in the tech landscape. The 2021 survey was the biggest yet, with some 3,829 developers, engineers, architects, and C-level execs in the cloud native space taking part. Here are some of our key takeaways…

Jupyter Notebook is a web-based interactive computational environment for creating notebook documents. It supports programming languages – such as Python, Scala, R – and is largely used for data engineering, data analysis, machine learning, and further interactive, exploratory computing. Think of notebooks like a developer console or terminal, but with an intuitive UI that allows for efficient iteration, debugging or exploration.

StackState has always believed in the importance of open source and open standards, and we’ve demonstrated our commitment through ongoing support of open technologies. From the beginning, StackState supported StatsD and OpenMetrics. Even our agent is open source, designed to help organizations easily onboard our platform and to give them an extensible open way to observe their services. StackState is now proud to announce our next big open source step.

As a framework for goal-setting, the Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) methodology is an incredibly useful tool when implemented properly. It can help your engineering team better plan and stay aligned toward common objectives through the duration of the development process. On an individual level, OKRs can also encourage each team member to make personal progress toward their own goals or common team goals that would benefit the company.

In part 1 of the CLI Stands For…A CLI Into Series, we outline why you would want to use the CLI, some of the benefits of doing so, and a bit of CLI history and terminology. In part 2 – An Introduction to Shell Commands, get ready to roll up your sleeves and dive into a deeper understanding of the terminal.

When designing a solution, you should keep future needs in mind. If the number of users increases dramatically in a short period of time, the solution should be scalable enough to handle the new growth. Making systems scalable on cloud is relatively easier as compared to scaling on-premises infrastructure. AWS has provided excellent tools/services to enable your applications for as much scalability as you want.

From setting up new hires with everything they need to get to work to troubleshooting technical difficulties, IT teams often field the same kinds of requests over and over. And while each request might feel like a small task, collectively they can add up to a huge time sink in the long run.

Database backup protects your data by creating a copy of your database locally, or remotely on a backup server. This operation is often performed manually by database administrators. Like every other human-dependent activity, it is susceptible to errors and requires lots of time. Regularly scheduled backups go a long way to safeguarding your customers’ details in the case of operating system failure or security breach.
