A comprehensive guide to application modernization

Today, efficient software is indispensable to running regular business operations. Legacy applications are outdated systems that can hinder business operations by running on obsolete technology. They can cause inefficiencies and slow progress, leading to underperformance and potential extinction if the organization cannot keep up with competitors.

How to conduct canary deployment using HAProxy

A canary deployment is a deployment strategy that is used to release applications and services to a subset of users incrementally. All the infrastructure in a target environment is updated in small phases (e.g., 5%, 30%, 75%, and 100%). Due to this control, a canary release carries the lowest risk compared to all other deployment strategies. The deployments allow organizations to make staged releases and test applications with real users & use cases, collect feedback, and compare different service versions.

The future of observability – 2023 and beyond

In my previous blog on what is observability and why the buzz, I spoke about its three pillars (logs, metrics, and traces) and highlighted its past & present, along with its benefits. Gartner ranked observability among the top 10 strategic tech trends for 2023. So, it is crucial to understand – what's next for observability.

Steps to set up a time series database (TSDB) cluster on Kubernetes

While DRPs are essential for any system, they're especially critical for time series databases (TSDBs). Unlike traditional databases, TSDBs deal with continuous data streams, making data loss impactful. High data volume, real-time analysis reliance, and historical trend preservation all emphasize the need for robust disaster recovery.

Kubernetes GitOps simplified with Argo CD

GitOps adoption is on the rise thanks to the way it improves the development and delivery of software applications. It modernizes software operations by letting dev teams manage code and infrastructure declaratively using a Git repository as the single source of truth. A key orchestration system like Kubernetes is an integral part of the overall setup and it helps GitOps work efficiently and to implement infrastructure-as-code (IaC). Also, managing applications on Kubernetes can be tiresome for many and may demand advanced skills.

What is observability and why the buzz?

With the advancements in the cloud and changing SDLC processes, almost everybody needs a top-notch monitoring system to ensure everything is in place and performing at its peak. Observability is one of the significant areas that can ensure your system's health and performance is visible and monitored effectively. Observability is the ability to measure a system's internal state by inspecting its outputs. It relies on telemetry derived from the services and endpoints of cloud environments.

Integrating Monaco Editor into a React application

Digitization is taking over the world, with almost everything moving to the cloud. There has been a significant focus on seamless collaboration in the recent past to ensure smoother and quicker operations. Adding a code editing tool like Visual Studio allows you to take advantage of collaborative features like reviewing, writing files directly in a pipeline, and viewing linter errors. Users can also collaborate on the same file, at the same time, from different locations.
