Remote Prometheus Monitoring using Thanos
In a previous blog we learnt about setting up a Scalable Prometheus-Thanos monitoring stack. We also learnt about how we can cluster multiple Prometheus servers with the help of Thanos and then deduplicate metrics and alerts across them. MetricFire is a Hosted Prometheus solution, and you can use our product with minimal configuration to gain in-depth insight into your environments. If you would like to learn more about it please book a demo with us, or sign up for the free trial today.

Are Developers Not That Keen On Kubernetes?
Should application developers learn Kubernetes? Let’s ask an even deeper question; should application developers even be aware of Kubernetes in their infrastructure? I frequently hear this question being asked by DevOps, Platform Engineering, and Development teams. Of course, this is a discussion that brings very different views from different people and can result in a very long debate.
Deploying Applications on Kubernetes
In a previous article, we discussed why we frequently hear that developers are not that keen on Kubernetes. You can read it here. In summary, while developers certainly see the value of Kubernetes, they want to continue focusing on their application code and updates and not be impacted by the company’s Kubernetes initiative, which is quite fair.
Better than what? Why data center baselines matter in cloud migrations.
For most organizations, the cloud is a promise for better outcomes. Let’s be honest, why would you go through all that effort otherwise? This is especially true for all those applications and workloads that are currently running in data center environments but need to be moved to the cloud to support digital transformation efforts.
Games are in our DNA
At Cloudsmith we love playing video games, everything from Super Meat Boy to Halo, Fortnite to Candy Crush. We’ve got a big Pac Man money box sitting on the office shelf. Steve Collins, of Havok fame, is on our Board of Directors. Quite simply, gaming is in our DNA. When we started Cloudsmith we made a list of customers we’d love to work with someday and there were numerous games studios on the list.
