How many major versions of a given Go module are there? That simple question doesn’t always have an easy-to-discover answer. Golang’s unique system of semantic import versioning solves some key problems of ensuring Go module compatibility across dependencies.

Enterprise operations are becoming increasingly complex ecosystems, involving new technologies, larger supply chains and more partners than ever before. In a new report called ‘Building Tomorrow’s Interconnected Enterprise’, Console Connect and Applied Futurist Tom Cheesewright present a new interconnected enterprise model for the ecosystem-based future, where successful organisations will operate as a complex web of interactions rather than a monolithic whole.

2020 was a busy year for Civo, and we couldn’t have done it, and get where we are now, without our community of users. Between the wider community, our Civo Ambassadors, and our staff team, there is an enormous amount of knowledge and skill to be found. I’d like to present some of our top cloud-native guides for the year gone by, drawn both from guides published on our site and around the web by our community of users.
