Big shout out to the #OCI team for all the amazing work they do to ensure containers are reliable and the cloud ecosystem can grow. Thank you from me and the @architect_team! #containers #devops

I can't stress enough how important it is that CI/CD processes be reliable and FAST. Even the most reliable processes will be skipped over entirely if they can't keep up with the developers they're supposed to serve.

I am beyond happy to have welcomed @DevMandy to our team recently. Architect is the endgame for developer-led ops, and dependency awareness was the key!

Even software engineers need a dress rehearsal. Check out my latest post on what it takes to run a software rehearsal - also known as "staging".

Congrats on your first post under the @architect_team umbrella, Michael! Michael comes to us from Facebook, and worked with me at all my prior startups. He's a brilliant engineer, and his posts are great for those interested in engineering deep dives on a variety of subjects.

I thought it was about time I created a clear playbook for running production environments at different corporate stages. Anyone care to share what their infra looks like? #devops #CloudNative

I'm so proud of what my team has accomplished in the last 2 years, and its great that they're getting the recognition they deserve! We're all looking forward to continuing to help developers build and ship cloud software!

Automation is absolutely critical to DevOps success. Great writeup by @grabnerandi on @thenewstack today. #DevOps #CloudNative thenewstack.io/7-ways-devops…

We use Terraform a TON to power our product and apply changes to environments, both with Kubernetes and ECS clusters. Great write-up by Ryan Cahill on how Kubernetes and Terraform play nicely together. #terraform #kubernetes

This was a fun one for me to write since so many of our customers are implementing or looking to implement event-driven architectures. I particularly enjoyed debunking a few myths about the pattern, so be sure to check it out! #microservices #digitaltransformation

Modern tools have made #microservices a more appealing and more widely available pattern, but it quickly creates networking complexity that didn't exist before. If you or your team is having trouble managing microservices at-scale, come check out my talk at @DeveloperWeek!

#AIOps is great for issue diagnosis, but I wouldn't trust it for automated remediation of infrastructure or security issues. The cost of being wrong is too high, and when AI is wrong it's REALLY wrong.

Inter-process communication via message brokers, like @RabbitMQ, are an extremely popular way to maintain fault tolerance in microservice-based applications. Check Dan Barrett's latest tutorial showing how to setup a production-ready implementation!

Had a great time discussing operational strategies for engineering teams with @seekayel. Listen in on his channel, @QuantSoftware, where we discuss #DevOps, automation, and the hurdles of enabling teams building #AI and #MachineLearning:

JWTs and other public/private key powered tokens are enormously powerful for enabling distributed systems to authenticate incoming requests without increasing latency. #softwaredevelopment #microservices

Ever drawn a cloud architecture diagram on a white board and noticed that it's just a graph with nodes an edges like any other? We have too, and we've built a microservices dependency management solution that accounts for exactly that. Check it out! #DevOps #microservices
