7 Common Kubernetes Backup and Recovery Mistakes

As enterprises move Kubernetes into production and increase the number of Kubernetes clusters and applications in use, they need to deliver the same “enterprise-level” services as for other production applications. Implementing Kubernetes backup is critical to protect your applications in the event of an accident, system failure, or deliberate attack. You need an effective and appropriate backup strategy—in addition to whatever built-in resiliency and data protection features your applications may have. 

There are several use cases that your Kubernetes backup and recovery strategy should satisfy:

Auto-Instrumenting Node.js Apps With OpenTelemetry

In this tutorial, we will go through a working example of a Node.js application auto-instrumented with OpenTelemetry. In our example, we’ll use Express, the popular Node.js web application framework.

Our example application is based on two locally hosted services sending data to each other. We will instrument this application with OpenTelemetry’s Node.js client library to generate trace data and send it to an OpenTelemetry Collector. The Collector will then export the trace data to an external distributed tracing analytics tool of our choice.

How To Build Self-Hosted RSS Feed Reader Using Spring Boot and Redis

Keeping on top of your RSS feeds can be a headache. If you have many feeds that you follow, then trying to keep tabs on the status of each one is just as tedious as difficult. Let’s be honest: having to dig through the online clutter and pull out the feed you want to monitor is a time-consuming process that nobody wants to experience.

These inconveniences created an itch that Sandeep Gupta couldn’t ignore, which spurred him to create an application that pulls all RSS feeds into one location. This provides users with a holistic view of all their RSS feeds, promoting a painless and efficient way of organizing their entire collection. Using different Redis modules, Sandeep was able to create an application that’s hyper-responsive to user commands, minimizing the chances of any lags or delays from happening.

The Power of DevOps Self-Service Platforms: How Standard Tools and Tech Increase Developer Velocity

Introduction

By now, most organizations in the business of delivering software will likely have a DevOps strategy. Even if adoption is only partial, the maturity of DevOps enables firms to improve delivery by implementing the tools and practices across their organization that best suit their needs. 

Once the benefits of DevOps are realized, the business case for scaling DevOps across the enterprise inevitably grows. However, there is a key problem when it comes to scaling DevOps, which is outlined by Gartner’s 2019 prediction that “by 2023, 90% of enterprises will fail to scale DevOps initiatives if shared self-service platform approaches are not adopted.” Providing self-service capabilities allows product development teams to quickly provide new features and push changes to customers while also allowing the self-service platform owners to focus on providing new infrastructure automation capabilities to further support the increased product velocity.

HMS Game Service — Sign-in Function [Java]

Introduction

In this article, I would like to address the Game Service topic by doing a practical example in which we will implement the kit. The goal is to achieve a simple application where our user can log in with his Huawei ID and obtain information regarding his player on Game Service. In the Huawei repositories, we can find projects with all the implementation but in my opinion, it is better to create a new project where we have the opportunity to do our development.

Steps:

1. Create an App in AGC

How to Use Bootstrap to Build Beautiful Angular Apps

Since 2005, I’ve been a proponent of CSS frameworks. I was even the leader of an open-source project, AppFuse, and during that time, we held a design contest (using Mike Stenhouse’s CSS Framework) in order to provide themes for our users.

Over the next few years, a few new frameworks came into my awareness; Blueprint in 2007 and Compass in 2008. None of these frameworks, however, could hold a candle to Bootstrap. When it first came to my attention, it was called Twitter Bootstrap—invented in 2010 by Twitter employees Mark Otto and Jacob Thorton. To quote their words from "Building Twitter Bootstrap", Issue 324 of A List Apart:

Build Chatbots with Dialogflow – Step By Step Guidelines

Dialogflow from Google (earlier known as API.ai) is a great platform for developing chatbots for multiple platforms. Earlier when Dialogflow was known as API.ai, they had an Android and iOS client library to integrate chatbot into mobile apps.
