In June, we hosted our online meetup with ContainIQ surrounding k8s monitoring and observability. You can catch up on the discussion between Matthew Lenhard (Co-founder & CTO of ContainIQ) and Kai Hoffman (Developer Advocate at Civo) here if you missed it. Meanwhile, Kamesh Sampath from our Developer Advocate demo program explains how Civo’s speed and developer experience is great to work with in our latest Civo Shorts.

We are happy to announce that one of the top voted features for Bitbucket Pipelines, Docker BuildKit will be available next week. You can now build Docker images with the BuildKit utility. With BuildKit you can take advantage of the various features it provides like.

At Upsun, we are committed to making your deployment experience as fast and seamless as possible, so that you can continue pushing changes as much as you need, and keep your customers happy. As part of this commitment, we are releasing three new infrastructure improvements, which will greatly improve caching strategy and significantly reduce downtime during deployments.

Azure Functions is an on-demand serverless compute offering built on top of Azure App Service that enables you to deploy event-driven code without the need to provision and manage infrastructure. Because applications rely on Azure Functions to handle business-critical tasks such as processing orders or logging in users, it’s important to ensure that your functions respond quickly when they’re invoked.

Depending on your business reason for migrating to the cloud, you can either move in one go or incrementally. If, however, you prefer to retain some of your operations, app design, or workflows on-premise, you can still do so based on the cloud migration strategies you use. Sometimes, it makes more sense to modify your existing system rather than make too many changes all at once. Cost, data security, and service availability (thus revenue and customer experiences being impacted) are just three concerns.

If you’ve ever experienced downtime during sudden traffic spikes, then have no fear: Auto-scaling is here. That’s right. As of today, all Dedicated plans on Upsun that have subscribed to the Observability Suite package now benefit from auto-scaling out-of-the-box.
