Kubernetes observability at scale: how to cut APM costs without losing visibility

The instinct when setting up Kubernetes observability is to instrument everything and send it all to your APM vendor. That works fine at ten nodes. At a hundred, the bill becomes a board-level conversation. The less obvious problem is the fix most teams reach for: aggressive sampling. That is how intermittent failures affecting 1% of requests disappear from your monitoring entirely.

How We Create API Tokens Using Spring Boot

Have you ever wondered how much effort goes into providing a seamless authentication process on a platform such as the Qovery console? Needless to say, we do not take security or user experience lightly. That’s why we decided to combine SSO through our users’ Git provider accounts (GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket) with an external authentication service called Auth0. In order to accommodate our users' need to access the Qovery console through their CI/CD pipelines, we also elected to provide API Token generation for each organization, and relied on Spring Boot security to implement this feature.  Let me show you how we did it. But first things first, for improved security, we need to put JSON web token (JWT) authentication and authorization into place. Then, we can dive into the nitty gritty, and effectively create our API token using Spring Boot.

Perform Database Schema Migrations in Just 5 min Using Flyway and Spring Boot

At Qovery, we rely on Kotlin with Spring Boot to develop our API and Postgres as a database. When I joined the backend team a couple of months ago, we didn’t have a straightforward solution to handle database migrations. As production access is strictly limited, I had to depend on a teammate with admin rights every time I wanted to update the schema of the database. We needed to find a more appropriate long-term solution, as our team is fast-growing, and managing authorizations is bound to become even more painful. Eventually, we agreed to start using a database-migration tool and picked Flyway as the best tool for this job. The following article is about to show you how easily Flyway can integrate with an existing database using the Spring framework. It is not meant to provide a deep insight into Flyway, nor is it a step-by-step tutorial to set up the tool.
