I'm super excited to share something amazing our team at Qovery has been cooking up lately: the IAM EKS User Mapper. This isn't just any tool – it's our answer to a problem we know so many of you face: managing AWS IAM user access to Kubernetes clusters efficiently and securely. It's open-source and available to everyone now on GitHub.

In recent years, the tech world has witnessed a remarkable evolution in the way applications are developed, deployed, and managed, largely thanks to two groundbreaking technologies: Docker and Kubernetes. Containerization, spearheaded by Docker, is a method of packaging an application along with its dependencies in a virtual container so that the deployed application is executed without any inconsistency in different environments. On the other hand, Kubernetes emerges as a robust system for orchestrating the same containers packaged through docker. It automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications, ensuring their optimal performance and reliability. Despite the distinct nature of both technologies, it is easy to confuse one with the other. This is exactly what this article is going to focus on. We will look into the core concepts, architecture, use cases, and scalability of both Kubernetes and Docker, offering a comprehensive comparison to help readers understand their unique advantages, limitations, and use cases.

Kubernetes has become an indispensable tool in the world of modern application deployment. As a powerful system for managing containerized applications, it streamlines the process of deploying, scaling, and operating applications across clusters of hosts. This article will serve as a comprehensive guide to understanding Kubernetes deployments, a core feature of Kubernetes. We will discuss managing applications with Deployments, various deployment strategies, and the best practices for secure and efficient Kubernetes deployments. After reading this guide, you should have a solid understanding of Kubernetes deployments, making it easier for you to take advantage of their full potential in your application deployment processes.

Mastering ConfigMaps in Kubernetes is crucial for anyone looking to streamline their container orchestration processes. This guide dives into the pivotal role of ConfigMaps in Kubernetes, detailing their function in managing non-confidential data as key-value pairs. We will explore their crucial role in decoupling configuration from container images and enhancing adaptability across various environments like development and production. Additionally, the guide contrasts ConfigMaps with Kubernetes Secrets to illuminate their distinct roles in data management. Through a series of practical steps and best practices, you will gain insights into creating, implementing, and managing ConfigMaps effectively, ensuring streamlined deployment and management within your Kubernetes cluster.

Last October, we organised a Hackathon at Qovery. My teammate and I decided to work on an internal project to improve the onboarding process experience…with a limited budget!  Let me tell you more about what enabled us to win the 3rd prize! (I consider that, as I was in front of developers' teams working on Qovery’s product improvements, it is not that bad ;) )

In the journey of front-end development, choosing the right state management solution can significantly impact the efficiency and maintainability of your application. Two popular libraries, Redux and React Query, have emerged as key players in this domain. Redux has long been the default choice for managing application state in React applications, but React Query offers a fresh and potent alternative.
