You may remember Dataflow from the post we wrote last year titled Data pipeline asset management with Dataflow. That article was a deep dive into one of the more technical aspects of Dataflow and didn’t properly introduce this tool in the first place.

DevOps and site reliability engineering (SRE) teams aim to deliver software faster and with higher quality. But, manual steps — such as reviewing test results and addressing production issues resulting from performance, resiliency, security, or functional issues — often hinder these efforts. What these steps have in common is that monitoring tools are not in sync with new changes in code or topology and this observability data is often siloed within different tools and teams.

In software development, feature flags are an established path to rapid value, continuous progressive delivery, and safe deployments. The ability to isolate certain software capabilities makes it easier to test, preview, release, and roll back small functional increments. Used by organizations for everything from assigning support tickets to managing failover regimes, feature flags enable DevOps teams to release software faster and more reliably.

Flutter is a cutting-edge framework, and you can sense it! It’s way easier to create mobile applications with it. If you’ve ever used Java, Swift, or React Native, you may note how Flutter differs. Making a cross-platform app with Flutter takes almost half as many hours as developing separate native apps. While different frameworks make comparable claims, Flutter offers you a complete state-of-the-art MVP with a native-like appearance and performance.

In the MySQL world, if replication is broken we all use the famous SET GLOBAL SQL_SLAVE_SKIP_COUNTER=1; to skip the replication error. It always works if it’s a traditional binlogs events-based replication and is helpful to quickly resume the replication.

Most of the time, it was ~6 seconds, but every once in a while (maybe 2 out of 9 tests or so), it would be 11 seconds or more. Their initial reaction was to get frustrated at the measurement process and tool in question—why was it messing up so frequently?

Kubernetes has a lot of built-in capabilities to ensure your workloads get enough CPU and memory to stay healthy.
