Override default resource status: New feature in StackStorm 3.7.0

Coming up in StackStorm 3.7.0 is a new feature that allows administrators of a StackStorm installation to “override” the default resource status that was specified by the pack owners. One of the benefits of StackStorm is the large variety of packs available on the StackStorm Exchange. But sometimes, users may not want the default content status provided by the community packs.

Kubernetes Multi-Tenancy

Four ways to elevate team efficiency and code quality

Development teams are under increasing pressure to keep up with the demand for faster delivery of database changes, while ensuring code quality isn’t compromised. This pressure comes from both business requirements and industry expectations. The 2021 Accelerate State of Database DevOps report reveals that the number of teams who are elite performers is increasing year-on-year (making up 26% of those in the study) and these teams have more frequent code deployments and a lower change failure rate.

AWS Summit London - My top 3 sessions

Hi, fellow Qovery readers, Albane here! 👋 To give you a bit of background, I joined Qovery in August 2021, initially as a Product Owner, then moved to a Product Marketing Manager position in March 2022.
