In this blog, we look at why more businesses are considering Salesforce Express Connect for accessing their Salesforce applications – and how Console Connect can help. Salesforce needs little introduction. It has become the CRM of choice for enterprises, now counting 150,000 customers across various industries, including the likes of Spotify, Amazon Web Services, and U.S. Bank.

As technology professionals, we must consider the evolution of security and its connection to literature, such as George Orwell’s “1984” and Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World.” The digital threats we face are often unseen, lying dormant until they can be weaponized for both good and evil purposes. Advancements in machine learning and algorithms have revolutionized data analysis, allowing us to observe and analyze behavioral patterns both online and offline.

Very few SaaS products exist completely independently. Between cloud service providers, payment processors, content delivery networks, and more, chances are you rely on external systems to keep your product working. When these systems fail, it can leave you feeling pretty helpless. In some cases you might have fallback options, but oftentimes all you can do is wait for recovery and clean up the fallout.

Merging two companies into one comes with several challenges. One of the most formidable endeavors is maintaining control over cloud costs while a cloud-to-cloud integration — essentially, taking the cloud environments of two companies and combining them into one — is taking place. One or both companies may not be tracking cost data, and even if they are, it’s highly unlikely that their cost-tracking strategies line up well enough to merge seamlessly.

In a world where companies pivot for breakfast, lunch and dinner – it’s rare to see a tech house commit to a large, time intensive project. Big projects take a long time to implement. Sometimes too long. But we asked ourselves, “Can we give users an early look at some of the stuff we’re working on?” We wanted something that was in-between a public beta and our own GitKraken preview states.

With the widespread adoption of Kubernetes, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) ecosystem has evolved to include projects that address the challenges of using a container orchestrator system. One such challenge is managing and deploying clusters, which can become complex as organizations scale their Kubernetes requirements. Fortunately, Cluster API (CAPI) provides a solution.
