When it comes to data, let’s start with the obvious. Averages suck. As developers, we all know that percentiles are much more useful. Metrics like P90, P95, P99 give us a much better indication of how our software is performing. The challenge, historically, is how to track the underlying data and calculate the percentiles. Today I will show you how …
Kubernetes (k8s) enables you to efficiently orchestrate container management, in the cloud or on-premises. As a whole, k8s provides many benefits, including features for self-healing, automated rollouts and rollbacks, load distribution, and scalability. However, k8s is a highly complex platform and requires extensive configuration. To ensure your k8s operations are secure, you need to address key challenges related to architecture vulnerabilities and platform dependencies, and implement relevant security best practices.

Having developed web applications using Drupal 6, 7, and 8, the launch of Drupal 9 is incredibly exciting. Ironically, I started working with Drupal 6 at a time when Drupal 7 had already been released. However, there was a huge resistance in adopting Drupal 7 due to its incompatibility with contributed (open source) modules. This often meant that adoption of Drupal 7 would prevent companies from using the modules their websites relied upon to function in their entirety.
