While so far, I have been the sole reader to enjoy the book, I was wondering during my lecture if there were any resources to explain how to build all that. Most topics are software oriented.. So, in this article, I am going to explain how to build your own cloud network 🎊

Is this key finding from DORA Report 2023 holding back your team?

What's a key finding from the 2023 State of DevOps report? Nathen Harvey shared with us that teams' change review time is holding back their software delivery performance. You can use the DORA metrics to alleviate this bottleneck. Give Sleuth a try and see how we give teams actionable insights on how to improve, no-code automations to instantly ship improvements, and metrics to measure their impact — all in a way that both managers and developers love.

How to detect and prevent memory leaks in Kubernetes applications

In our last blog, we talked about the importance of setting memory requests when deploying applications to Kubernetes. We explained how memory requests lets you specify how much memory (RAM for short) Kubernetes should reserve for a pod before deploying it. However, this only helps your pod get deployed. What happens when your pod is running and gradually consumes more RAM over time?
