Tried and True Migration to Kubernetes--An Authentic Guide

A few years ago, lift and shift to the cloud was all the rage––with the companies building those solutions being snatched up at exorbitant selling prices to the biggest cloud vendors.

How reliability differs between monolithic and microservice-based architectures

Microservices have forever changed the way we build applications. Tools like Docker and Kubernetes made microservice-based architectures widely accessible to software developers, and cloud platforms like Amazon EKS made deploying containers fast and inexpensive. They've also enabled even small engineering teams to deploy code faster, leverage fault tolerance and redundancy, scale more efficiently, and take full ownership of their services from development all the way into production.

That doesn’t mean they don’t know how to deliver secure, quality software. They’ve just never had to actually define a process for how they do it. Perfectly capable engineers can spend years shipping great products and features without ever having to properly define and standardize their SDLC.
