Digital transformation shows no signs of slowing down. As a result, the complexity of modern multicloud ecosystems continues to increase. Data proliferation—as well as a growing need for data analysis—has accelerated. Increasingly, organizations are turning to modern observability platforms to address the complexity of, and gain visibility into, cloud environments.

Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform that helps manage and deploy applications in a cloud environment. It is used to automate the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It is an efficient way to manage application health with Kubernetes probes. This article will discuss Kubernetes probes, the different types available, and how to implement them in your Kubernetes environment.

Picture by Adrian — Ka’anapali sunset 2023 There’s been a lot of discussion about platforms recently, I talked about why I think it’s a current hot meme on the WTF Podcast with Charles Humble recently, and Sam Newman just wrote a blog post “ Don’t call it a platform ”. What I want to cover in this blog post is how I think platforms should be structured, and why it’s always plural, there isn’t one platform or one platform team.

As we find ourselves spending more time talking with and through machines than we do face-to-face, the popularity of conversational AI and large language models show that there is an appetite for interfaces that feel more like conversations with people. However, what's still missing is the connection that's established with visual and non-verbal cues.

Bloom filters are an essential component of an LSM-based database engine like MyRocks. This post will illustrate through a simple example how bloom filters work in MyRocks. Why? With MyRocks/RocksDB, data is stored in a set of large SST files. When MyRocks needs to find the value associated with a given key, it uses a bloom filter to guess if the key could potentially be in an SST file.

When discussing contributions, we still see a lot of emphasis on the code contributions into project repositories. But the open source world is extensive and diverse, and everyone can find their place there. Your project will benefit from various experiences that non-coders can bring to the table. Isn’t that cool when you receive an issue with an interesting bug from the community, read about a user case in a blog or a review, or someone makes a video guide for your product?

In the past few years, there has been a growing number of organizations and developers joining the Docker journey. Containerization simplifies the software development process because it eliminates dealing with dependencies and working with specific hardware. Nonetheless, the biggest advantage of using containers is down to the portability they offer.

Everybody knows about ChatGPT. And everybody knows about ChatGPT’s propensity to “make up” facts and details when it needs to, a phenomenon that’s come to be called “hallucination.” And everyone has seen arguments that this will bring about the end of civilization as we know it. I’m not going to argue with any of that. None of us want to drown in masses of “fake news,” generated at scale by AI bots that are funded by organizations whose intentions are most likely malign.

Docker is a containerization technology that allows developers to package and deploy applications in lightweight, portable containers. These containers are isolated from the host operating system, which makes them portable across different environments and eliminates the “works on my machine” problem. Docker is a popular platform for creating and managing containerized applications; however, several alternatives for Docker can also be used for this purpose.

Several people asked me this question: Could we get Node metrics inside of a container? Usually, this comes from the fact that PMM or standalone people run node_exporter inside a container. PMM does it as a sidecar along with many other exporters to monitor DBs, and node_exporter comes out of the box as a default one. So people could see accurate data on dashboards, like Memory and CPU, that node_exporter reads inside the container.
