A Docker container is a portable software package that holds an application’s code, necessary dependencies, and environment settings in a lightweight, standalone, and easily runnable form. When running an application in Docker, you might need to perform some analysis or troubleshooting to diagnose and fix errors. Rather than recreating the environment and testing it separately, it is often easier to SSH into the Docker container to check on its health.

Do you want to build software faster and release it more often without the risks of negatively impacting your user experience? Imagine a world where there is not only less fear around testing and releasing in production, but one where it becomes routine. That is the world of feature flags. A feature flag lets you deliver different functionality to different users without maintaining feature branches and running different binary artifacts.

Multi-cloud seems like an obvious path for most organizations, but what isn’t obvious is how to implement it, especially with a DevOps centric approach. For Cycle users, multi-cloud is just something they do. It’s a native part of the platform and a standardized experience that has led to 70+% of our users consuming infrastructure from more than 1 provider.

Technological advancements in telecommunications are keeping everyone on their toes, as communication service providers (CSPs) obsess over the next big thing to roll out and change the way the world communicates, stays informed, manages its daily lives, and more.

Apache Tomcat, developed by Sun Systems way back in the late 1990s, is a popular choice for developers who need to build and deploy Java-based web applications. It’s a collaboratively created platform that, since 2005, has become an accredited top-level Apache project with highly experienced developers volunteering support and resources for it. A 2022 survey shows that 48% of developers now utilize Apache Tomcat for deploying Java web applications.

Software development, agility and efficiency are paramount. Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) practices have revolutionised the way we build, test, and deploy software. When coupled with the power of Kubernetes, an open-source container orchestration platform, organisations can achieve a level of deployment excellence that was once only a dream.

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, swiftly responding to incidents is paramount for engineering teams. Downtime is not just costly; it can tarnish your organization's reputation. The pressure felt by engineering operations, DevOps, and SRE leaders to architect and run an effective incident response process is immense. Fortunately, over the last several years, effective engineering organizations have developed a standard toolkit for running a good incident response process.

In the current macroeconomic climate, it’s more important than ever for executive teams and CEOs to make the most of their resources. Organizations are expected to continually deliver innovative products and services in a rapidly changing environment, often with reduced engineering budgets. 75% of tech leaders fear displacement from competitors beating them to market, so speed and efficiency are top of mind.
