DevOps pipelines work best when they’re efficient, collaborative, and driven by data. In order to accomplish these objectives, it is necessary to have a view of the processes, measures, and performance of your pipeline. This is where business intelligence (BI) tools come in. BI tools were traditionally used for analyzing enterprises but are now being adopted in DevOps, contributing to processes and results in a positive way. Specifically, open-source BI tools are changing the tables in the DevOps pipelines because of their affordability, flexibility, and user implementation. They allow teams to track deployment intervals, monitor performance through lids, and troubleshoot issues with performance. Using Metabase, Redash, and Superset, organizations are integrating data analysis and DevOps practices, creating a smoother bridge from design to delivery.

At E-Card, an online gaming company, we’ve been using the open-source FreeBSD operating system all the way back to our company’s inception in 2000. As the CTO, I’ve witnessed the evolution of both FreeBSD and the broader technology landscape. Much has changed, but FreeBSD remains our open-source operating system of choice, despite the widespread use of Linux throughout the tech community.  Here’s why the open-source project has been so important to us for the past quarter-century.

This is an illustrated walkthrough for how to find the cause of high memory usage in Go programs with standard tools, based on our recent experience. There's plenty of information online, but it still took us considerable time and effort to find what works and what doesn't. Hopefully, this post will save time for everyone else. Context At Adiom, we're building an open-source tool for online database migration and real-time replication, called dsync. Our primary focus is on ease of use, robustness, and speed. One of the areas that we're focusing on heavily is data integrity, as Enterprise customers want to ensure data consistency between the source and the destination and know the differences, if there are any.

Fabrizio Ferri-Benedetti, who spent many years as a technical writer for Splunk and New Relic, joins Ben and Ryan for a conversation about the evolving role of documentation in software development. They explore how documentation can (and should) be integrated with code, the importance of quality control, and the hurdles to maintaining up-to-date documentation. Plus: Why technical writers shouldn’t be afraid of LLMs.

The Setting In a previous article, we introduced Dust, an open-source Actor system for Java 21 and above. We explained the basic ideas behind it and gave a tiny complete example consisting of two Actors ping-ponging messages between each other.  Assuming you have read that article, the time has come to move on to bigger things. So in this article, we will show you how to use Dust Actors to build a small demonstration application that will:

The quantity of data generated per second is astonishing in today's digital world. Big data allows organizations and businesses to create new products and services, enabling them to make decisions and enhance customer experiences.  However, processing and analyzing large volumes of data can be quite challenging. This is where cloud computing comes into play. Having worked as a cloud computing engineer, I have witnessed how much leeway the adoption of cloud technology has provided in terms of improving big data processing capabilities. This post discusses some advantages of cloud solutions for big data processing and how they ensure the success of organizations.
