What is object storage?

Object storage has by far the most simplistic interface out there, with no need for complicated SCSI drivers, HBA drivers, multipathing tools, or volume managers embedded into your Operating System. All you need to do is point your application at an HTTP endpoint, and use a simple set of verbs to describe what you want to do with a piece of data. Do you want to PUT it somewhere for safekeeping? Do you want to GET it so that you can do some work with that piece of data?

Writing a Book Using Git and Staying Organized on a Project

Git can be intimidating for non-developers, even though it’s in use by businesses and organizations across the world. In what other ways can we use Git to build and structure our lives? In this talk from the GitKon Git conference by Jessi Shakarian from DIA Design Guild, we will look at how you can use Git and GitKraken to brainstorm, draft, and edit parts of a book. Using Git for writers is just one example of how Git can be used beyond coding.

Deploying Fast Static Sites with Jamstack & Headless CMS

Have you heard about Jamstack? If we consider the advantages of static web pages, we can create scalable websites with better performance and enhanced security, all at a lower cost. In this talk by Facundo Giuliani from Storyblok, you will learn how to maintain and deploy Jamstack websites, generate static assets on build time, use different data sources, like Headless CMS, and get builds triggered automatically whenever a change is introduced to your Git repository.

Minimize the impact of critical incidents with Freshservice On-Call Management

“Service outage! Help!” These words (or their variations), have preceded notable losses of millions and billions of dollars in the 21st century. From large corporations to SMBs, no one is immune to the effects of downtime – whether planned or unplanned. However, the earlier an issue is noticed, the faster it is acted upon and resolved, resulting in little or no customer impact.

GitKon Keynote: Edward Thomson of GitHub npm - Git and its Ecosystem

In April 2005, Linus Torvalds gave us 1,000 lines of C code sprinkled with TODOs and comments about design decisions. What was meant to be the basis of an “information manager” to help him develop the Linux kernel evolved into what we now know as Git. 15 years later, Git is the dominant version control system in use worldwide, and has spawned an entire ecosystem of Git software and tools.

Repos, Riffs, & Rockstar - Using Git with Dylan Beattie of the Rockstar Programming Language

Developers of a certain age remember life before Git. Some of us remember Subversion, some of us remember CVS, and a few wise old souls remember the days when version control meant remembering to write the date on the floppy disks. But here in 2021, Git and hosted platforms like GitHub have revolutionized collaborative software development.
