Benchmarking Redis with k6

Previously, I have covered an article on Load Testing SQL Databases with k6 . For your information, from k6 version 0.29.0 onwards, you can write a k6 Go extension and build your own k6 binaries. This comes in handy as you can use a single framework for load testing different protocols, such as ZMTQ, SQL, Avro, MLLP, etc. In this series of k6 extensions, let’s benchmark Redis now.

5 Steps to Serverless Security With the AWS Lambda Plugin

For the DevOps-averse developer, lambdas are heaven. They can focus on writing self-contained and modularized pieces of code, deploying these functions for on-demand execution without being concerned about resource management or infrastructure. Lambda execution , however, can be tricky. Serverless security with the AWS API Gateway can feel daunting, especially when all you want to do is call a simple function as an API endpoint. For this, there’s the ease of Kong Gateway .

Game Development After Jira Server: Where Should Game Studios Turn?

As Atlassian has decided to deprecate their server products, including Jira Server and Confluence Server, game studios using these products have to look for alternatives, or swallow the cost to migrate to Atlassian’s other products (Cloud or Data Center). Let’s explore how life may look like after Jira, as this is something we have discussed with several game studios since Atlassian made their announcement .

NAN to Node-API Migration: A Short Story

Throughout the years I’ve created my fair share of native addons. The first ones were created by using the native C++ Node.js and v8 API’s. When NAN was created which made life much easier, especially in terms of maintenance, there was no question that I should move all my addons to use it. The years passed and Node-API was created and though it was on my radar and saw the benefits of using it, I never had the time to try it on my own modules.

The Citizen Integrator: Key to Business Agility

With the rapidly changing pace of innovative technology, companies must be able to pivot quickly or perish. The ability to adapt to change is critical to a company’s success. A key factor in the ability to pivot is access to real-time information to facilitate data-driven decisions. Traditionally, that data has existed across multiple systems with no simple method for bringing it all together meaningfully.

Automating Data Pipelines in CDP with CDE Managed Airflow Service

When we announced the GA of Cloudera Data Engineering back in September of last year, a key vision we had was to simplify the automation of data transformation pipelines at scale. By leveraging Spark on Kubernetes as the foundation along with a first class job management API many of our customers have been able to quickly deploy, monitor and manage the life cycle of their spark jobs with ease. In addition, we allowed users to automate their jobs based on a time-based schedule.
