You have many options when it comes to choosing a platform to deploy your app. In this article, we will compare AWS, Heroku, and Qoddi. Heroku is hosted on AWS, making Heroku, like Qovery for instance, nothing more than a management platform for AWS services. You can do everything you do on Heroku (or Qovery) directly with AWS for a lesser price but Heroku removes all the infrastructure management layer (or DevOps) you still need to have with AWS or any other cloud providers.

Avoid Writing a Lot of Try Catch by Catching The ‘catch()’ Just Once. How annoying it is to write a lot of try-catch for each async function in an express app? What if you never need to write a try catch block for all async functions and still be able to handle the errors?

After becoming increasingly popular in the mid-2000s, cloud computing has revolutionized the data center industry. Aside from providing cost-savings, security, mobility, and scalability benefits, cloud computing was also expected to be more environmentally friendly than other data storing and processing methods. By being highly efficient, cloud operators can reduce the use of electricity and other materials that typically increase a data center’s carbon footprint.

OpenStack storage is probably one of the most complex topics in OpenStack architecture right after networking. There are many different storage options, at least a few storage services, and tons of supported storage backends. It is very easy to get lost. But do not worry, there is hope. Since OpenStack was initially created as an open-source implementation of the Amazon Web Service Elastic Compute Cloud (AWS EC2), its storage architecture is quite similar to leading public clouds.

Runbooks have been a game changer for many incident response teams, and we just made it easier for you to get up and running with them. Runbooks reduce toil for responders and ensure consistency in your incident management processes.In the thick of trying to resolve an issue, remembering things like emailing customers is likely the last thing on responders minds but yet forgetting to do so can be detrimental.

When you think of who uses feature flags, your mind most likely goes to developers. In general, feature flags are closely associated with software engineering. But Site Reliability Engineers, too, can benefit from feature flags. SREs may not be the ones to create feature flags, but they should work closely with developers to ensure that the applications their teams support include feature flags.

One of the most well-known and commonly used open-source operating systems is Linux. It's a clone of UNIX, however unlike UNIX, it's free to download and use. Despite being an open-source operating system, it has a safe and resilient architecture, and many individuals and companies rely on it. You can, interestingly, make your own Linux version. You can accomplish so by simply downloading Linux and making the necessary adjustments. In essence, we can distinguish them as different Linux versions.
