In March, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) released its Annual Survey 2021. Civo featured alongside the likes of Amazon and Azure when CNCF asked developers "Does your organization use any certified Kubernetes installers?".

GitKraken knows that software development relies on efficiently coordinating with your A-Team. That is why we’ve added a pull requests section, more repo information to GitKraken Workspaces and a new way to organize and share them with your teams in GitKraken Client!

In this post, we are going to use a Gatsby sample to showcase how to deploy and manage Jamstack sites with Cloud 66 Prepress. We'll also list the statics site frameworks that are available on Cloud 66 Prepress.

Enterprises are getting fed-up with their existing system monitoring tools. Despite decades of investments in monitoring tools, many businesses fail to notice a problem in their digital services until a customer calls to complain about it.

Modern software systems are complex, with services distributed across data centers, in many zones, all around the world. Gone are the days when we managed individual servers dedicated to our organization, comfortable with the knowledge of the unique quirks of our setup. Now we rely on others to manage massive data centers where we borrow small slices of virtual space on shared hardware, traveling over shared networks, all in a system we call the cloud.

Another conversation that was recently had during our weekly field enablement office hours here at Shipa was “what exactly is a microservice?”. Certainly, a term that has been used to describe a paradigm and architectural practice.

There are several definitions of microservices from a purist definition to a definition resembling a movement.

To embed or not to embed: That is the question. At least, that’s one of the questions that companies have to answer as they decide how to implement Site Reliability Engineering. They can either embed SREs into existing teams, or they can build a new, separate SRE team. Both approaches have their pros and cons. The right strategy for your company or team depends, of course, on your needs and priorities.
