Containers have fast become one of the most efficient ways of virtually deploying applications, offering more agility than a virtual machine (VM) can typically provide.

As Kubernetes monitoring continues to standardize on Prometheus as a form factor, more and more developers are becoming familiar with Prometheus’ built-in query language, PromQL. Besides being bundled with Prometheus, PromQL is popular for being a simple yet expressive language for querying time series data. It’s been fully adopted by the community, with lots of great query repositories, sample playbooks, and trainings for PromQL available online.

Organizations are embracing Platform Engineers because it helps development teams deliver software releases much faster. Platform Engineers improve and automate the overall workflow starting from code to the final delivery. In this article, we will try to answer all your questions regarding Platform Engineering. We will discuss why you need Platform Engineering for your business, how it differs from DevOps and SRE, and which companies benefit most from it.

Azure Container Apps is a serverless platform that enables you to deploy containerized applications and microservices—regardless of their code or framework—without managing any underlying cloud infrastructure or orchestrators. By using serverless containers, Azure Container Apps can automatically scale based on HTTP requests or events supported by Kubernetes event-driven autoscaling (KEDA) in order to accommodate peak demand and meet your budgeting goals.
