This community meetup took a deeper look into how the Civo marketplace can improve your Kubernetes workflows. Featuring some cool apps to try out, and how you can easily get involved with contributing, growing, and ultimately improving the marketplace. As well as talks from Civo's very own Saiyam Pathak and Kai Hoffman, we were also joined by community members Steve Miller and Jürgen Etzlstorfer.

HashiCorp Terraform is an open source Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool that is widely used to deploy cloud infrastructure in the public cloud, such as AWS and Azure, along with on-premises VMware vSphere environments. One of the challenges is developing a method for bootstrapping the instances with configuration management agents such as the Puppet Enterprise agent.

In this guide, we are going to see what a Docker health check is and how to configure it for your Docker containers. A Health Check means to check the health of any resource to determine whether that resource is operating normally. Here, it is about checking the health of Docker containers. If you’ve been using docker containers in production, you might have noticed that docker checks the status of a container by using the status of the process (PID) launched from the Docker file command.

Any application built today is expected to be highly responsive, highly available, and required to adapt to enormous changes in real-time at peak business hours, store ever-increasing volumes of data, and make that stored data available for users a fraction of seconds. To achieve such low latency and high availability, you need to deploy these applications’ Instances in data centers that are close to their users.

After installing the Coralogix Security Traffic Analyzer (STA) and choosing a mirroring strategy suitable for your organization needs (if not, you can start by reading this) the next step would be to set the mirroring configuration in AWS.

Getting tired of slow queries? Wondering how you can improve SQL performance? The answer lies in SQL performance tuning or SQL server audit.

As a small startup, and a fully remote one to boot (thanks COVID), having only the “right” amount of meetings is crucial. Over-index on meetings and your team will get nothing done. Go too far the other way and your team won’t understand the vision, why you are doing what you are doing, and won’t be able to form the personal bonds that are required for a small team to succeed. We set aside 45 minutes every morning to discuss pretty much anything and everything.
