What is a Memory Leak?

Dec 17, 2024 By Josh Thornton In Speedscale
Memory leaks happen when a program fails to release memory it no longer needs, and can be a big issue for developers and system administrators alike, as the gradual depletion of available memory often makes for complex troubleshooting and debugging. Given how the consequences of a memory leak can range from decreased system performance to outright crashes, it’s crucial to isolate the root cause of the leak quickly and efficiently.

EP14: Platform Engineering for Architects

Dec 17, 2024 By WSO2 In WSO2
In this episode, hosts Sanjiva and Asanka are joined by special guest Daniel Bryant to explore the evolving practice of platform engineering through the lens of software architecture. They discuss why platform engineering should have a product mindset with developers as its primary customers, how platform and software architectures are symbiotic, and why good APIs, abstractions, and automation are essential for success. The conversation also highlights the role of internal developer platforms (IDPs) in enabling efficient and scalable software delivery.

Traffic-Driven Testing: Shift Right With The Ultimate Guide

Dec 11, 2024 By James Konik In Speedscale
In the process of developing software, designing and performing testing is a critical aspect of ensuring high software reliability, improving software quality, and deploying strong fit and function. The shift-right testing approach moves testing to later in your production cycle as a way of doing this with more accurate user data and post-production testing practices. Also known as “testing in production,” with shift-right, you test software after it has been deployed.

Kubernetes vs Docker: 7 Key Differences

Dec 9, 2024 By Josh Thornton In Speedscale
It’s impossible to learn about containerization without hearing about Docker and Kubernetes. These two tools together dominate the world of containers, both being the de facto standard in what they each do. When you’re first getting started learning about containers, it can be quite a challenge to figure out the differences between these two tools.

DevOps as a Service (DaaS): Transforming Enterprise IT Operations

Dec 9, 2024 By Jay Kumbhani In Zymr
A software update failure led to one of the most infamous outages of the year: the Crowdstrike Outage. The incident is estimated to have cost Fortune 500 companies more than USD 5 billion. Per the congressional testimony by Crowdstrike’s officials, the downtime wasn’t attributed to a malicious attack but a configuration and software update failure. Incidents like these make us question how we deal with our digital ecosystems - the configurations, the monitoring, the testing, etc.

What is Resilience Testing: The Ultimate Guide

Dec 6, 2024 By Nate Lee In Speedscale
Today’s complex, dynamic applications demand rigorous resilience testing. A common hurdle is accurately mimicking real user behavior. This post discusses a possible solution: production traffic replication (PTR), a technique that captures actual user interactions to enhance chaos testing, and the principle of intentionally introducing failures to evaluate application recovery.

Testing Kubernetes Ingress with Production Traffic

Dec 5, 2024 By Kush Mansingh In Speedscale
Kubernetes is an incredibly powerful solution, but testing the Kubernetes Ingress resources themselves can prove to be quite tricky. This can lead to significant frustration for developers – bugs can pop up in production that weren’t caught during testing, workflows that make sense on paper might fail in practice, and so forth.

What Is Platform Engineering?

Dec 4, 2024 By Kavishka Fernando In WSO2
Platform engineering is a software development approach that combines DevOps principles to elevate the developer experience. It focuses on designing and constructing toolchains and workflows that promote self-service capabilities for software engineering teams. By addressing security, compliance, and operational efficiency, platform engineering enables organizations to build robust internal systems tailored to the needs of both developers and operations teams.
