7 Critical Considerations for Evaluating Infrastructure Monitoring Platforms

I remember how excited I was to build my first Network Operations Center (NOC). It was a new idea at the time (yes, I know I’m dating myself), and boy, did we feel like we were cutting edge. The mere idea that we needed a place and a set of tools to monitor our entire infrastructure (because it’s never really been about just the network) was a big transition at the time. How things have changed.

7 Common Kubernetes Pitfalls

Kubernetes is the industry's most popular open-source platform for container orchestration. It helps you automate many tasks related to container management. Companies use it to solve their problems related to deployment, scalability, testing, management, etc. However, Kubernetes is complex and requires a steep learning curve. In this article, we will go through some common Kubernetes pitfalls most companies fall to.

4 Tips With Qovery To Reduce Your Cloud Costs

While the cloud offers significant benefits compared to traditional on-premise infrastructure, its inherent elasticity and scalability lead to uncontrolled costs. Cloud costs can be opaque and difficult to analyze — and without some system of identifying the source of costs and how to manage them — they can quickly undermine your profit margins. Since Qovery makes it easy to create on-demand environments, it can drastically grow your cloud costs.

What is a "service" in a microservices architecture?

The past ten years marked a significant change in how software teams build and deploy applications. We moved away from bulky, slow, monolithic applications toward lightweight, scalable, distributed service-based applications. Meanwhile, tools like Docker, Kubernetes, and other container platforms helped accelerate this process. Despite this sudden growth, a fundamental question remains: what exactly is a service, and how does it fit into a microservice architecture?
