Aiven workshop: Configure your app and data for Continuous Delivery with Netlify

What's in the Workshop Recipe? Continuous deployment is a powerful technique, allowing a web application and associated data to be automatically published when the software changes. In this workshop, we’ll show you how to set up an existing application, that uses PostgreSQL and Redis as backend services, for continuous delivery of itself and its data. Using your own fork of the application’s GitHub repository, we’ll show you how to add Netlify integration, so that the app (and its data) can be deployed when a change is pushed to the repository.

Introducing the Functional Source License: Freedom without Free-riding

Sentry started life in 2008 as an unlicensed, 71-line Django plugin. The next year we began publishing it under BSD-3, and ten years later we switched to the Business Source License (BSL or BUSL). Last year we purchased Codecov, and a few months ago we published it under BSL/BUSL as well. That led to some vigorous debate because of our use of the term “Open Source” to describe Codecov, from which emerged this helpful suggestion from Adam Jacob, co-founder of Chef.

Find your perfect movie with ClickHouse, vector search, Hugging Face API, and Next.js

Get an introduction to machine learning using Aiven services and the Hugging Face API to recommend movies based on Wikipedia synopses.

Adopting open-source Industrial IoT software

The industrial automation landscape is evolving rapidly, driven by a fundamental shift in how software solutions are developed and deployed. In the past, many factories had in-house IT expertise to build and maintain their basic software stacks, the present reality is quite different. Small-scale factories often lack the IT know-how to manage their increasingly complex digital infrastructure, and they often rely on contractors to set up and maintain their systems.
