VCs are Betting Big on Kubernetes: Here are 5 Reasons Why

I worked at Google for six years. Internally, you have no choice — you must use Kubernetes if you are deploying microservices and containers (it’s actually not called Kubernetes inside of Google, it’s called Borg).

However, as dev environments grow exponentially more complex, the definition of “the system” itself also constantly expands. To keep pace, we constantly work to evolve Komodor’s platform and enrich it with new capabilities and integrational options.

How Culture Impacts Technology Choice: A Review of Netflix's Use of Microservices

I recently had the opportunity to read the book “No Rules Rules: Netflix and the Culture of Reinvention” by Reed Hastings and Erin Meyer of Netflix, and it dawned on me that while this book wasn’t at all focused on Netflix’s technology, the global company-wide culture had a significant impact on its technology choices.
