Caching in: performance engineering in Jira Cloud

Go behind the scenes with the Jira team and see how we performance-engineered our way to a zero-affinity cloud architecture that runs at enterprise scale. Performance engineering is a big deal when you’re serving millions of users from every corner of the globe. We previously wrote about a large engineering transformation program for Jira & Confluence, which we codenamed Vertigo – read more about the overall program here.

5 Benefits to Run Elastic Stack in the Cloud

Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana — the trio better known as Elastic Stack (or ELK, if you prefer a term that is now going out of style), make up a powerful set of tools for searching and analyzing data.

How the kubernetes community responded to the k3s launch

What an amazing first week! I’ve been marketing open source technologies for over 15 years. During that time, I’ve been involved in many new product releases.

Did you ever have your customer success team (if you have the chance to have one!) overwhelmed by customers throught the support chat when facing minor incidents or even major outages, having to update all those worried customers in real time throught dozens of different channels as the engineering team finds out and resolves the issue? Support costs time, energy and money. What if all of your users could all connect to one single status page that would answer all of their questions?

Using Kubernetes Labels for Analytics, Forensics, and Diagnostics

Usually, when you hear us going on about labels here at Tigera, we are mentioning them as targets for selectors for network policies. As a review, you might have a policy that says, “things labeled customerDB=server should allow traffic on 6443 from things labeled customerDB=client” In this example, the labels identify a resource being produced or consumed.
