Josh Fetcher: “Product Hunt is a community where founders, product enthusiasts, and geeks go to check out the best new products and get attention for tech products that they've built.” If there is one sentence to define me it would be “done is better than perfect”. Saturday morning, after spent the last night released a new major version of our product while fixing bugs I came up with an idea: “Oh! It would be great time to make Qovery featured on Producthunt”.

Data application developers using Snowflake as the data warehouse and who are new to Kubernetes, spinning up a single cluster on their laptop and deploying their first application can seem deceptively simple. As they start deploying data-driven applications using microservices and Kubernetes in production, the difficulty increases exponentially. It quickly throws the developer into a kind of configuration hellscape that drives productivity down for many data engineering teams.

Application developers have a choice between two main categories of database: SQL (Structured Query Language) and NoSQL (Not Only SQL). SQL databases, also known as relational databases, have been in use for over 40 years. Despite their age, SQL databases remain extremely popular with developers. Of the top 10 results on DB-Engines’ list of most popular database management systems in September 2021, six were relational, or SQL-based.

There is no doubt that YAML has developed a reputation for being a painful way to define and deploy applications on Kubernetes. The combination of semantics and empty spaces can drive some developers crazy. As Kubernetes advances, is it time for us to explore different options that can support both DevOps and Developers in deploying and managing applications on Kubernetes?

Nowadays, the efficiency of a company’s IT infrastructure is commonly measured in how often it can deploy new versions of the software. Faster, better deployments are one of the main goals of the DevOps mindset. Therefore, to not fall behind the competition, one needs to implement DevOps practices. But DevOps isn’t just about deploying fast and often. DevOps is a set of practices and tools that help deliver better-quality software faster. The “quality” is the key here.

We are excited to announce the general availability of VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid 1.4. This release introduces improvements and updates to networking, packages, the user experience, and as always, Kubernetes versioning, with support for Kubernetes 1.21.2. In this post, we will focus on some of the new capabilities offered in Tanzu Kubernetes Grid 1.4 that further support our customers with their Kubernetes journey.

Whether running on a fully cloud-hosted environment, on-premise servers, or a hybrid solution, modern services and applications are heavily reliant on network and DNS performance. This makes comprehensive visibility into your network a key part of monitoring application health and performance. But as your applications grow in scale and complexity, gaining this visibility is challenging.

Last week, AWS and NetApp announced the general availability for AWS FSx for NetApp ONTAP. In this blog post, we’ll go through the steps to create a FSx for ONTAP filesystem, and you’ll learn how to create volumes using Kubernetes resources with Astra Trident, and how to mount those volumes to pods. As a prerequisite, make sure to register to the Spot platform, connect your AWS account and have a Kubernetes cluster connected to Ocean using the following guides.

Last June, we released Qovery v2 - a brand new version of Qovery. Since then, we have worked on delivering the features you were waiting for AND made dozens of improvements based on your feedback. Thanks to our lovely dev community and customers.
