Database product companies typically have a few phases. First, the company will develop a technology with some kind of innovation such as speed, scalability, or durability. The company will offer support contracts around that technology for a period of time, before eventually building a managed, hosted offering. PlanetScale is a database company built around the The post Scaling PlanetScale with S...

Infrastructure as code is a concept that has delighted software engineers, dev ops, and engineering management across the board. It’s neither fun nor efficient to configure the infrastructure and environments software teams require. Operating software at scale on a cloud, on-prem, or hybrid model is a problem of modernity that many enterprises find surprisingly challenging. The post Infrastructure...

As cloud providers enable greater levels of specificity and control, they empower compliance-driven enterprise companies.  This level of parameterization is downright inhospitable to a new software engineer and can be a cognitive barrier to entry for a senior professional with a great idea but limited time.  Developers want to focus on their code, algorithms, front The post Render with Anurag Goel...

Thanks to the amazing books, blogs, videos, quickstarts, frameworks, and other software-related resources, getting started as a software engineer is easier than ever.  Although you can get started in a day, it can take years to become a master of the craft and most practitioners describe it as a profession of lifelong learning.

Modern businesses run on the cloud and increasingly so they run on multi-cloud infrastructure.  As any growing company can tell you, cloud costs can easily run far out of control.  Today’s enterprises are trying to deliver new products and services at a fast pace.  That needs to be done in a cost-effective, ideally cloud-agnostic way.

One of the most painful parts of getting started on a new development team is getting one’s environment set up.  Whether it’s undocumented steps, overly complex setups, or simply the challenges of understanding how the pieces fit together, getting a dev environment up often feels like a chore to be suffered through in order to The post Remote Development in the Cloud with Gitpod & OpenVSCode...

The last 15 years have seen the emergence of cloud-based developer APIs and services as dominant components of the developer toolchain. As a result, there has never been more power at developers’ fingertips. But making that power usable and accessible is a challenge that is shared between the providers and the consumers of these services. The post Developer Relations at Google with Luke Mahe appea...

The way we write, compile, and run software has continued to evolve since computer programming began.  The cloud, serverless, no-code, and CI/CD are all contemporary ideas introduced to help software engineers spend more time on their application and less time on the chores of running it.  Darklang is a new way of building serverless backends.  The post Darklang Deployless Applications with Paul B...

An application network is a way to connect applications, data and devices through APIs that expose some or all of their assets and data on the network. That network allows other consumers from other parts of the business to come in and discover and use those assets (mulesoft.com). The company Tetrate provides the tools necessary The post Tetrate: Application Aware Networking with Varun Talwar appe...

Whether organizing projects, working from home, or conducting business, you need to use many necessary apps and cloud services to do the job. Despite these apps being necessary, switching between them and keeping them interconnected and updated is a challenge. They very easily become disorganized which makes using them less efficient. The company ClickUp solves The post ClickUp: Workflow Vision wi...

Kubernetes is an open source container orchestration service released by Google in 2014. It has quickly grown into a platform with a huge community of enthusiasts and professionals.

Argo, a The post Argo: Kubernete...

Pay-as-you-go pricing has become a strong selling point for modern SaaS companies as well as cloud-based companies.

The company Octane is a drop-in metered billing system that gives you The post getoctane.io: Pay-As-You-G...

Serverless computing is a cloud computing solution that lets developers deploy applications to containers without managing the servers themselves. Servers and resources are provisioned automatically, pay only for what you use, and experience little to no errors or downtime (ionos). Google Cloud Run is a managed compute platform that enables you to run containers that The post Cloud Run: Serverless...

Latency is the time it takes to get from point A to point B. In programming, this might be the time from a user selecting their photos library to the pictures reaching their computer screen from the database.  Fly.io is a simple platform for running full-stack apps and databases close to your users. Some available The post Fly.io: Geographic App Deployment with Kurt Mackey appeared first on Softwa...

Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration system. It makes managing container clusters possible as well as deploying code changes to these containers. Microservice architecture is widely used today in large part because of Kubernetes. However, using it can require a large time commitment due to its learning curve. The company Okteto empowers developers to innovate The post Okteto: Cloud...

In today’s containerized world, it’s common to encounter similar issues with known solutions across multiple pods. For most people there are 2 solutions: go pod-by-pod finding and fixing the problem, or do that while also spending months trying to automate that process. This is significant time and manual labor.
