After countless conversations with platform engineering teams, I've gathered a wealth of insights into the practicalities and pitfalls of adopting various Internal Developer Portals. One such portal, Backstage, developed by Spotify, has gained significant attention for its centralized approach to tooling and resources. However, based on my experiences and discussions, there are three key reasons why Backstage might not be the best fit for every organization, particularly smaller teams or those with certain technical constraints.

Imagine a scenario where your developers spend less time waiting for resources and approvals, and more time focusing on the core aspects of building exceptional software. This vision becomes reality with the implementation of an internal developer platform (IDP), a revolutionary tool that acts as a catalyst for innovation within your organization. IDPs centralize key resources and automate workflows, empowering developers with self-service capabilities and promoting a more collaborative and efficient development environment. This empowers them to move faster, innovate more, and ultimately deliver superior software solutions. Let's explore six core elements that support successful IDPs and allow you to unlock the full potential of your development teams and drive your organization to the forefront of innovation.

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.
