Containers, along with containerization technology like Docker and Kubernetes, have become increasingly common components in many developers’ toolkits. The goal of containerization, at its core, is to offer a better way to create, package, and deploy software across different environments in a predictable and easy-to-manage way.
If the cloud is a destination you have planned for any of your enterprise workloads, then you need to be prepared to navigate the journey that is the cloud migration process.

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.
