How you communicate helps build your 9s. In the world of Site Reliability Engineering, this is crucial. How do you do it?

Our last Qovery Demo Day took place on a live on Tuesday, 20th of December. This event aims to give you some insights into what we did during the past month and what’s next and showcase some of our new features. This Demo Day was a bit special, as it was the last of the year, and to celebrate, we brought the entire team along to do a retrospective of the year and answer any questions you might have about our product.

Businesses around the world are increasingly turning to container technology to streamline the process of deploying and managing complex, cloud native applications. Containers bundle all necessary dependencies into a single package, offering portability, speed, security, scalability, and ease of management, making them the preferred choice over traditional virtual machines (VMs).

In Parts 1 and 2, we looked at how you can build and maintain effective test suites. These steps are a key part of ensuring that application workflows function as expected. But how you run your tests is another important point to consider, so in this post, we’ll walk through best practices for executing your tests across every stage of development. Along the way, we’ll also look at how Datadog supports these practices for the applications that you are already monitoring.

Ever since Terraform was first launched by HashiCorp, infrastructure teams have been quick to leverage its functionality. Because deploying infrastructure via code became so much easier and error-free. This surely became a great way to deploy new infrastructure with custom configurations, but what about managing cloud infrastructure that is already defined? Can Terraform be used to make changes to them? Or can it be used to deploy the same configurations to new environments?

I recently had the opportunity to speak with Kevin Maschtaler, the Platform and Reliability lead at Tint, about their experience with Qovery. Tint began using Qovery in early 2022 to automate their infrastructure and support their team and customer growth. In this article, we will explore Tint's journey with Qovery, including how we continue to assist them with compliance in the testing and release process and how we help them save on cloud costs through our partnerships.

Enterprise use of Microsoft’s Azure Cloud Services is expanding at an unprecedented rate as cloud computing usage expands. However, enterprises that have recently switched to Azure continue to have serious concerns about Azure cost efficiency. Managing the costs associated with Azure cloud infrastructure differs from reducing the cost of an on-premises server because Azure cloud infrastructure can be built as needed, typically outside the control of a traditional IT department.

Git is a powerful version-controlling system designed to quickly and effectively manage any project. If you’re one of the 83 million developers who use Git, you’ve probably heard of Git HEAD before. When working with Git, you can check out only one branch at a time – the current or active branch. Git HEAD refers to the tip of this active branch. This article will teach you about Git HEAD and how to find and check its status.
