Introduction to Golang

Go (also known as Go language or Golang) is a general-purpose, open-source language. Golang began as Google's internal project that Google officially announced in 2009. It was developed in 2007 by Robert Griesemer, Ken Thomson, and Rob Pike. As programmers, we want languages that are simple to understand, fast to learn & use, and easy to maintain. Go is aimed at efficiency. The language comes with its own syntax, standard function, and a rich standard library.

Keeping a check on your cloud migration costs

Cloud and migrating to the cloud have been hot topics for almost a decade. Improved business efficiency and performance are prime reasons that have fuelled the shift to the cloud.

Optimizing IT operations with Elasticsearch Machine Learning

In the 21st Century, data is the biggest commodity. The value you can rip out of data is immense. However, you need a sophisticated system to analyze data to get valuable insights. There are multiple sources of data in any IT operation. You can analyze data generated from applications, servers, networks, and infrastructure to detect potential issues. This operational data is primarily gathered through system-produced metrics and logs.

RBAC for frontend and backend using Keycloak

User authentication is necessary to safeguard your organization's data and systems. Granting system/data access to a person that he is not supposed to access can be disastrous. A Verizon report suggests that 82% of breaches are caused due to human elements such as misuse, errors, and social attacks. Organizations have seen a growth of 13% in ransomware breaches – more than the last five years combined.

Ensuring secured cloud migration

The cloud expenditure forecasts are always filled with mind-boggling numbers. An IDC report suggests the whole cloud spending to reach $1.3 trillion by 2025. Although the report includes the entire cloud, which means all cloud-related expenses such as hardware, software, all the as-a-service models, and services, the number is still huge. These vast numbers also mean increased demand for service expertise on the cloud.

Creating Helm Repository Using GitHub Pages

Helm is slowly becoming a popular choice for managing Kubernetes applications. It is a Kubernetes deployment tool for packaging, automating, creating, deploying, and configuring services and applications to Kubernetes clusters. Helm simplifies application deployments on Kubernetes, not only because it facilitates the application release phase but also because Helm makes it possible to manage variables in the Kubernetes manifest YAML files easily.

Bringing Value Stream Mapping to the DevOps culture

'Value' is a strong word for organizations today. Over the years, organizations have looked at ways to improve processes and bring value to their customers. Focusing on the proper techniques, cutting waste, and reducing process cycle times were some of the basic things we all did to bring value. Toyota production systems came up with Value Stream Mapping (VSM) in the 90s with the same purpose.

Front-end is a vital component of any product's success. There are a few exciting options when it comes to JavaScript frameworks for the front-end. Vue.js is one such option that is slowly becoming popular amongst developers because of the features like Virtual DOM, Data Binding, Components, Event Handling, Animation/Transition, Computed Properties, Templates, and Directives. In this blog, I will talk about one of these key features – animation and how to animate Vue.js with GreenSock.
