What is the best Kubernetes tool for development in 2023? This article compares three of the most popular solutions. Getdeck Beiboot, created by Blueshoe, is a new alternative to local Kubernetes development entering the market.

In this article, we'll compare Podman and Docker to see how they stack up against each other. We'll start with an overview of what each tool is and why you might want to choose one over the other. Then, we'll dive into the details of what makes each tool unique before coming to our conclusion about which one is best for your needs: Podman or Docker!

The solid performance of managed Kubernetes platforms is generally regarded as a given and is hardly ever put into question. However, maybe there is a difference in how containers perform on different popular managed Kubernetes platforms. I wanted to take a deeper look and selected the two most popular Kubernetes services we use at Blueshoe for our clients: Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) and the Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).

Kubernetes is currently the big thing in IT. But even developers struggle with it at times. And it’s infinitely more difficult for non-developers. But what can Kubernetes do exactly? What’s the difference between individual Kubernetes service providers? And what are the benefits of Kubernetes?

We’re going to look at these questions and provide a broad overview of Kubernetes and related subjects.

Reading logs from multiple Kubernetes Pods using kubectl can become cumbersome fast. What if there was a way to collect logs from across the cluster in a single place and make them easy to filter, query and analyze? Enter Promtail, Loki, and Grafana.

We’ve had another think about how to make the running of Django applications more Cloud Native and ready for Kubernetes. The result was Django-Hurricane which we’d like to introduce in this blog post and which we will make available as an open-source project.

Reddit can be a wonderful community, not just for entertainment but also for professional purposes. We regularly skim through r/kubernetes and the level of discussion can be quite enlightening.

A couple of weeks ago we came across the following question:

“How are your developers testing their code locally?”

When it comes to error tracking in our Cloud Native applications Sentry has become our go-to solution. We do love the ease of use, the deep insights and the well-structured documentation. This blog post aims to provide you with our learnings on using Sentry on Unikube’s VueJS based frontend.

There are plenty of possibilities for orchestrating your container landscape and we want to give you a quick little introduction to your possibilities. Taking a look at both cloud-offerings and on-site options.

Becoming a truly Cloud Native company is not easy. It takes evolution. But what stages of evolution do companies have to go through to arrive at the desired stage? And what does that stage entail? Take a look with us!

‘Local Kubernetes development’ aka ‘development of containerised microservices in a local Kubernetes cluster’ means that applications are designed and developed for a Kubernetes architecture – i. e. a developer works with a Kubernetes architecture locally. In this blog post, we’ll show you how local Kubernetes development works.

Docker has become more and more popular in recent years and has now essentially become the industry-standard for containerisation – be it via docker-compose or Kubernetes. When creating Dockerfiles, there are certain aspects that need to be considered. In this blog post, we’ll show you some strategies with which to create slim Docker images.

We are pushing the development in the areas of Django and Kubernetes with our open-source project Django-Hurricane. Today, we’d like to show you some new features.

We’ve noticed an increasing interest in Kubernetes (K8s) when speaking to techies and even more so when speaking to our clients. So in this blog article, we’re asking the question of what managed and unmanaged Kubernetes actually is.

Whether a project runs like clockwork or drags on forever depends on how precisely the client requests were identified and implemented. In this article, we’d like to share the experiences we gained from various projects. We’ll show where the challenges lurk when analysing the client requirements and how this process can be integrated into the project schedule.

Why does Blueshoe trust in Django and Python even though PHP is much more widespread? We’ve certainly got our reasons and don’t want to keep them from you.

In this article, we’ll compare Python and Django with PHP.
