When talking about managing web applications and the services they provide, the term “API gateway” is often thrown around, but what does it mean? In order to unpack how a gateway functions, we first need to understand what an API is.
MQTT is a machine-to-machine communication protocol. Devices publish messages to a broker under specific topics, and other devices subscribe to those topics to receive information. It’s popular because it doesn’t take up a lot of bandwidth, so IoT devices with limited network connectivity can use it. MQTT works because of brokers. Each device sending and receiving data can communicate with potentially millions of other devices while only connecting to one broker.
When building cloud-based applications, managing the infrastructure becomes a bigger challenge as you scale. Kubernetes brings order to the chaos, letting you control and automate the containers used to deploy your application. Debugging in the cloud presents further challenges, and the complexities of distributed applications make it hard for many debugging setups to keep pace. Tools designed to run locally aren't effective. However, there are Kubernetes debugging tools that can handle the shift in paradigm. In this article, you'll read about several options that make debugging Kubernetes applications much easier.
The Internet of Things (IoT) describes devices with sensors and computational ability which let them collect, exchange, and act on data. IoT is a broad category that includes uses from smart home thermostats to industrial manufacturing equipment. Sensor data is time series data, and IoT is a common use case for InfluxDB because it can handle the huge amounts of data IoT sensors create.
To minimize the security risks of an application, developers need their apps to stand up to stringent security testing. Fortunately, there are tools available that simplify and even automate these security tests. There are also best practices to guide and inform the testing process. In this article, I will cover the most common security issues for mobile apps and highlight popular security tests.

Charmed Kubeflow is Canonical’s enterprise-ready distribution of Kubeflow, an open-source machine learning toolkit designed for use with Kubernetes. Charmed Kubeflow 1.6 follows the same release cadence as the Kubeflow upstream project.
Akka’s license change has surprised many of us, but it didn’t come out of nowhere. Lightbend recently announced that Akka will be transitioning from an “Open Source” license to a “Source available” license called BSL 1.1. Let’s unpack this to understand what it all means.
