CloudZero’s research has determined that as many as 60% of SaaS business leaders feel their cloud spend is higher than it should be. Considering cloud spend is a dominant portion of a SaaS company’s operating costs, unexpectedly high cloud bills can be a significant problem. While many SaaS leaders use discount plans to stem the bleeding, we believe the better solution lies with giving your engineers the tools to track and optimize costs as they build.

Reviewing the Current State of Infrastructure as Code (IaC), its Challenges, the Emergence of Crossplane, Adoption Difficulties, and the Road Ahead! Infrastructure as code (IaC) has become an indispensable practice for managing and deploying cloud-native applications. By defining infrastructure through code, developers can efficiently and consistently manage their infrastructure. In this post, we’ll delve into the state of IaC, the problems it poses, and the new approach offered by Crossplane.

As Kubernetes continues to gain popularity as a container orchestration system, mastering its command-line interface becomes increasingly vital for DevOps engineers and developers alike. Kubectl, the Kubernetes command-line tool, is an essential component in managing and deploying applications in a Kubernetes cluster. This tool allows you to interact directly with the Kubernetes API server and control the state of your cluster.

With the surge in digitization, the concept of cloud migration has become a fundamental reality for many organizations. VMware, a widely accepted leader in server virtualization, has enabled many businesses to take advantage of virtual machines’ benefits. However, as businesses evolve, so do their requirements. This often leads to the need for moving these VMware-based virtual machines to more flexible and scalable platforms like Microsoft Azure.

Bitrix24 is a cloud-based business management and collaboration platform that provides a suite of tools for managing various business processes.

Every team has guardrails, whether you recognize them or not. They’re a form of automation that can have significant impact on your software development process and the people doing the work. They’re another way to give toil the boot and keep developers in the flow. We’ve made the case for engineering automation in a previous article; here’s how guardrails as automations ensure that agreed upon boundaries and ways of working are codified into team processes.

Data scientists and machine learning engineers are often looking for tools that could ease their work. Kubeflow and MLFlow are two of the most popular open-source tools in the machine learning operations (MLOps) space. They are often considered when kickstarting a new AI/ML initiative, so comparisons between them are not surprising. This blog covers a very controversial topic, answering a question that many people from the industry have: Kubeflow vs MLFlow: Which one is better?

The path to engineering excellence has no shortage of tooling for improving developer experience. But what has been missing is an understanding of where to begin. Developed from hundreds of engineering team conversations, the Cortex Engineering Maturity Curve has become a trusted guide for IDP evaluation and onboarding—meeting customers where they’re at for faster time to value.
