“To have your head in the clouds” has several meanings since Cloud computing arrived and is part of our vocabulary thanks to its efficiency. Therefore, today we will review not only what cloud computing is, but also the types of cloud computing.We also love to have our heads “in the clouds”.
Something different this week. I got an email from an aspiring SaaS bootstrapper. Let's call him John. John explained his working situation at a tech startup and his dream to start a SaaS in the cloud security space by himself. He also had some pretty good questions. I asked John if it was OK if I answered them in the form of a blog post. He agreed, so here we are.
So you’ve signed up to give a tech talk, awesome! You’re a subject matter expert in something and want to share you knowledge, that’s what helps make a community awesome.

The terse and friendly syntax of Ruby and the “they thought of everything” feeling of Rails offered web startups the ability to move quickly and nimbly.
Serverless has the potential to bring massive ops advantages to projects of all sizes, but while it presents great business benefits, we need to spare a thought for how teams develop on serverless. I recently published ‘Serverless Development is Broken’ a list of concerns about how developers can work with long deploy times inherent in a cloud-only code environment.
Amazon S3 is an object storage service widely used for storing many different types of data in the cloud. While it’s inexpensive and easy to set up and maintain S3 buckets, it’s also very easy to overlook S3 security aspects and expose them to malicious attacks. A typical example is accidentally allowing public access to S3 files. Several recent high-profile data breaches were caused by lax S3 security.
Kubernetes (K8s) is a prevalent open-source system for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. However, maintaining the service can be difficult and expensive. For that reason, it is easy to find platforms offering Kubernetes as a managed service. In this article, we will analyze three of the most popular services currently available: Google Kubernetes Engine, Azure Kubernetes Service, and Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes.
