We just opened a time capsule from 2003 and couldn't believe what we found. An AOL CD-ROM with 2,000 free hours; a Dell blade server chassis; and a Blue Collar Comedy Tour DVD. We were reminded again about Jeff Foxworthy’s “You might be a redneck” skits as the star of the show. So we channeled our inner blue collar comedy and applied it to container orchestration—because, hey, why not?

A good user interface (UI) is not just about aesthetics. It plays a pivotal role in the overall developer experience. A thoughtfully designed UI abstracts away the complexity of the underlying systems and delivers intuitive interaction, clear visuals, and seamless navigation. And ultimately enables developers to focus on what truly matters: building, testing, and deploying quality code.

For any first time users, simply sign up for Aptible, deploy your first application, and you’ll receive a t-shirt.

Centralized logging isn’t a novel feature, but that doesn’t make it easy to build. It’s complex, tends to require a lot of iteration, and early architecture decisions can have long-term consequences you didn’t anticipate.

Explore the challenges of container orchestration and scaling in Kubernetes. Discover strategies to overcome these obstacles and ensure efficient management of containerized applications in dynamic environments. Gain insights into scaling considerations, resource allocation, and workload distribution to optimize performance and maximize the benefits of Kubernetes orchestration.

Memory policies play a major role in how Docker applications function. Docker containers share the same underlying hardware, which can result in issues if a single process eats up a core resource (such as memory). Known as the noisy neighbor problem, one memory-hungry process could shut down an entire application without the right safeguards.

We’ve redesigned our docs site to provide users with a more intuitive experience and rewrote our docs to ensure that it is clear and concise.

In honor of Earth Day, Aptible is planting 25 trees for every developer who signs up and deploys an app on Aptible. Let’s grow a forest together. 🌲🌳🌲

Learn why developers are questioning the future of PaaS and why PaaS will dominate the future of software development, despite the current limitations.
