Building a SaaS architecture with a single tenant application

The short version of what we did was leverage the orchestration power of Kubernetes and add another layer of orchestration on top of that, which was much more Mattermost-aware, to be able to deploy individual instances of Mattermost quickly and on-demand when a customer signs up for a workspace. This means that each customer who has their own workspace gets their own deployment of single-tenant Mattermost and a set of pods that is only for them.

Additionally, all of this wouldn’t be possible without a ton of other great, open source CNCF projects that we built our Cloud with:

Prometheus and Thanos for monitoring
Fluent Bit for log collection
Flux and ArgoCD for automated deployments
Helm and the Operator Framework for building and managing deployments
Chaos Mesh for chaos fault simulation and reliability testing
And others!

How to improve hiring and retention of software developers

What do software developers want out of their careers in 2022? According to a recent survey by Stack Overflow, 39% want to work with the latest technologies. This is where open source can help.

The open source community provides many of the new technologies developers enjoy. The community is responsible for introducing popular programming languages like Go, JavaScript and Rust, which make it easier for developers to create code and produce high-quality work at high speed. Without open source we would not have cloud services like AWS, GCP or Digital Ocean.

Open source acts as a force multiplier for projects. Applications can be built and delivered faster with the aid of community contributions. Developers can also customize their technology stacks, optimize productivity and experiment with and learn new techniques from other open source projects. With all of these capabilities, it’s no wonder that one of the main reasons companies adopt and embrace open source is to increase developer satisfaction.

How CIOs Can Help (Or Hurt) Your Ability To Hire And Retain Software Developers

In the world of remote work, when organizations skimp on developer collaboration (i.e., by asking engineers to use general collaboration tools for specialized, mission-critical functions), they can often end up in a downward spiral for tech talent.

As just one example, without actionable playbooks being integrated into workflows, incidents will likely continue to pull the wrong engineers into panicked conference calls. Processes and leadership won’t be clear. Half the time, incidents actually get worse as lack of context leads to the wrong actions being taken. Remediations can be slow and painful. Frustrated and exhausted, your best engineers will likely leave, taking their institutional knowledge with them. As the downward spiral accelerates, it will be harder than ever to backfill their roles, and your engineering managers will probably leave as well.
