Recently, we ran into a problem where a customer’s dashboard broke to such an extent that it hung on loading. This is a really rare problem and in this case was an instance where the customer had created a variable that referenced itself. Once the dashboard is broken in this way, it is impossible to reach a screen allowing you to remove that variable. This post is not about how it was broken, but about how we resolved the error.

We live in a digital world, and it’s becoming more and more apparent every day. We rely on our smartphones to give us directions to where we need to go. We rely on email to share information with our colleagues, family and friends. We access our medical records through online portals. We even hail a rideshare through an app that connects us to drivers in locations across the globe.

IBM Cloud has made a massive shift to Kubernetes. From an initial plan for a hosted Kubernetes public cloud offering it has snowballed to tens of thousands of production Kubernetes clusters running across more than 60 data centers around the globe, hosting 90% of the PaaS and SaaS services offered by IBM Cloud. I spoke with Dan Berg, IBM Distinguished Engineer, to find out more about their journey, what triggered such a significant shift, and what they learned along the way.

I was reminiscing about an incident that happened at a past job with an old co-worker. You know the one, the one where you installed a library that makes some task of yours simple, only to reveal the library makes things worse. This incident in particular involved the way that images served out of our Ruby on Rails application, and the library that made it possible to “easily resize before serving” them.
Software that treats the container as the first-class unit of infrastructure.
When you need to troubleshoot an issue in your Node.js application, logs provide information about the severity of the problem, as well as insights into its root cause. You can use logs to capture stack traces and other types of activity, and trace them back to specific session IDs, user IDs, request endpoints—anything that will help you efficiently monitor your application.
