Are you one of those trying to desperately get your hands on a new RTX 3080, 3070, 3060 Ti, & 3090 in 2021? Or maybe you prefer the new PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X console. Basically, any item that’s on pre-sale or hard to get (including the uniquely designed piece of clothing for your girlfriend). If your favorite e-shop doesn’t have a “watchdog”, we have the best solution for you. Now how would you know it’s already back in stock? There’s an easy way!

Kubernetes capacity planning is one of the main challenges that infrastructure engineers have to face, as understanding Kubernetes limits and requests is not an easy thing. You might be reserving way more resources than you need to ensure your containers don’t run out of memory, or are CPU throttled. If you are in this situation, you’re going to be charged for those resources even if they aren’t being used, and it will also make deployments more difficult to schedule.

Grafana Explore makes correlating metrics and logs easy. Prometheus queries are automatically transformed into Loki queries . And we will be extending this feature in Grafana 8.0 to support smooth logs correlation not only from Prometheus, but also from Graphite metrics. Prometheus and Loki have almost the same query syntax, so transforming between them is very natural. However, Graphite syntax for queries is different, and in order to map it to Loki, some extra setup is required.

Like mechanics who restore their own cars or plastic surgeons who self-rhinoplasty, our developers put their skills to interesting uses during their free time. Here, Native Platform Engineer, Arpad Borsos breaks down how memory mappings and dynamic library loading works and how it relates to native Android libraries loaded from APKs. Libraries are key to modular programming, as they offer functionality in a single unit which can be shared with other developers.

Service Level Objectives (SLOs) are a key component of any successful Site Reliability Engineering initiative. The question is, what are SLOs; and how do you determine what your SLOs should be? Once you've done that, how should you use them?

In software development, processing and storing data in different states reflects the business rules an application is built on. The heart and soul of any software application is the data that is persisted in databases for retrieval and further processing. The database system (SQL or Non-SQL) chosen for an application must serve the required data processing and storage needs of the application.

HAProxy 2.4 adds exciting features such as support for HTTP/2 WebSockets, authorization and routing of MQTT and FIX (Financial Information Exchange) protocol messages, DNS resolution over TCP, server timeouts that you can change on the fly, dynamic SSL certificate storage for client certificates sent to backend servers, and an improved cache; it adds a built-in OpenTracing integration, new Prometheus metrics, and circuit breaking improvements.

The question I am regularly asked is, “What use is OTN, when services are all IP, and routers handle connectivity directly across optical fiber connections, or wavelengths on optical fiber (IPoWDM)?”

Artificial intelligence is transforming software development. From the code to the deployment, AI is slowly but surely upping its game and helping us discover a brand new paradigm for inventing technology. Algorithm-based machine learning is being used to accelerate the software development lifecycle and AI is supporting developers to optimize software workflow at every stage of the development process.
