GitOps your WordPress with ArgoCD, Crossplane, and Shipa

WordPress is a popular platform for editing and publishing content for the web. This tutorial will walk you through how to build out a WordPress deployment using Kubernetes, ArgoCD, Crossplane, and Shipa. WordPress consists of two major components: the WordPress PHP server and a database to store user information, posts, and site data. We will define these two components and store them in a Git repository.

CLI Installer

While new cloud native architectures are incredibly feature-rich, they can come with a high barrier to entry. Many getting started tutorials are pages long and can take forever to complete. But these always start with the first step of performing an installation. In the spirit of making the installation of Speedscale as simple as possible, we have designed a new interactive installer as part of the speedctl command line interface.

Using AI & ML for Application Performance (APM)

Today, IT and site reliability engineering (SRE) teams face pressure to remediate problems faster than ever, within environments that are larger than ever, while contending with architectures that are more complex than ever. In the face of these challenges, artificial intelligence has become a must-have feature for managing complex application performance or availability problems at scale.

Cloud Log Management Strategy & Best Practices

For IT Operations and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) teams, logging is nothing new. In fact, collecting and analyzing logs is one of the oldest cornerstones of performance management. Logs have been part and parcel of APM workflows for decades. Yet the logging strategies that worked in eras past often fall short today. That’s thanks to the advent of cloud-native computing, which has ushered in fundamental new challenges in the way teams aggregate, analyze, and manage logs.
