The latest News and Information on Containers, Kubernetes, Docker and related technologies.
Historically, the monitoring landscape has been a mess; today, it still is. It’s even worse given how software architectures have changed with all of the cloud-native principles. As “techies”, we need to do something about this. Otherwise, we’ll remain chained up by an inability to properly observe our own platforms and applications.
If you are familiar with minikube, a lightweight implementation of the Kubernetes ecosystem, then you may have also heard of Minishift.

Kotlin is a programming language over the JVM (like Java). It is well known for being the official programming language for Android. But Kotlin is a reliable and powerful programming language that can also be used for server-side applications. I have been using Kotlin for 4 years to develop server-side applications. Here are the 6 reasons why it is a great choice for building your next backend: Java is one of the vastest ecosystems in the programming world.
