Kubernetes is one of the current leading technologies. Its adoption has seen tremendous growth in the past few years. The concept of containers is a paradigm that appears to be the predominant medium of software development and deployment in the coming future. Containers help maintain consistency across various platforms, as they pack an application with its dependencies to help move it from one platform to another.
Thank you all for joining us last week for Failover Conf 2! We had a great turnout this year, with over 1,800 participants, 20 sponsors, and 9 amazing sessions. After more than a year of virtual events and video calls, we know that Zoom fatigue is real. We tried to make this event different by finding new ways to bring the community together and thinking of fun new ways to shake up the conference formula.
At Speedscale, we’re always trying to find ways to iterate faster and reduce developer toil. In line with that mission, we slant our engineering decisions towards using cutting edge tech because we usually move faster and it also allows us to help our customers later on when they upgrade their own tech stack. Recently, we had the opportunity to upgrade the communication channel between our api-gateway and react front end. This journey provided some unexpected benefits.
