How Uncaught Crashes Can Damage Your Application's Reputation, Revenue, and more

At BugSplat, we have a unique view of how uncaught crashes can impact individual teams (and entire companies) through our work building tools to find and fix bugs in live applications. We've seen firsthand the difference it can make when teams have a workflow for reporting every defect that makes it into production and when they don't.

Continuous Delivery Pipeline for Kubernetes Using Spinnaker

Kubernetes is now the de-facto standard for container orchestration. With more and more organizations adopting Kubernetes, it is essential that we get our fundamental ops-infra in place before any migration. In this post, we will learn about leveraging Jenkins and Spinnaker to roll out new versions of your application across different Kubernetes clusters.

Building and deploying AWS email templates with Azure DevOps

This is the third and final post (for now) in the series about developing email templates with MJML and deploying them to AWS. In the previous post, we developed a Gulp script to automatically build HTML from the MJML file and insert it in a template file for AWS. In this post, we will set up an automated build and deployment of the email template using Azure DevOps. A quick recap.

What is Observability?

“Observability” seems to be the buzzword du jour in IT these days but what does it actually mean, and how is it any different from plain, old monitoring? In simple terms, observability is the ability to understand how a system is performing and how it is behaving from the data that system generates.
