Is your microservice a distributed monolith?

Your team has decided to migrate your monolithic application to a microservices architecture. You’ve modularized your business logic, containerized your codebase, allowed your developers to do polyglot programming, replaced function calls with API calls, built a Kubernetes environment, and fine-tuned your deployment strategy. But soon after hitting deploy, you start noticing problems.

Speed Up Your Maven Builds With Jfrog Artifactory

The code we develop ends up being packaged into artifacts that are consumed as dependencies during the development of other software components.

Gain Better Visibility into Kubernetes Cost Allocation

Adopting Kubernetes and service-based architecture can bring many benefits to organizations – teams move faster and applications scale more easily. However, visibility into cloud costs is made more complicated with this transition. This is because applications and their resource needs are often dynamic, and teams share core resources without transparent prices attached to workloads.

Best Practices: Onboarding Jfrog Xray

JFrog Xray is a Software Composition Analysis tool (SCA) which is tightly integrated with JFrog Artifactory to ensure security and compliance governance for the organization binaries throughout the SDLC. This video provides best practices learned from customers for successfully deploying JFrog Xray into your organization and performing a real Shift-Left. It will focus on two keys to success, 1. involving R&D and 2. starting small and working in cycles.

New Microsoft partnership embeds Datadog natively in the Azure portal

We are excited to announce a new partnership with Microsoft Azure, which has enabled us to build streamlined experiences for purchasing, configuring, and managing Datadog directly inside the Azure portal. This first-of-its-kind integration of a third-party service into a public cloud provider reduces the learning curve for using Datadog to monitor the health and performance of your applications in Azure—and sets you up for a successful cloud migration or modernization.

How to monitor istiod

Istio is a service mesh that enables teams to manage traffic in distributed workloads without modifying the workloads themselves, making it easier to implement load balancing, canarying, circuit breakers, and other design choices. Versions of Istio prior to 1.5 adopted a microservices architecture and deployed each Istio component as an independently scalable Kubernetes pod. Version 1.5 signalled a change in course, moving all of its components into a single binary, istiod.
