SmartNICs with P4 support

In the first part of this blogpost we discuss the idea of using smartNIC solutions to optimize network performance in a data center. In the second part, we review the currently available (July 2020) smartNIC solutions that can be programmed with P4. A paradigm of edge-computing has been gaining in popularity of late. The term itself can refer to many sub-technologies and have many meanings. One of them is the existence, next to the centralized, large data center, of those small or very small, located closer to the end-user.

A guide to a UX prototype design

A physical demonstration of your ideas is the best way to check if they really work. For investors, a clickable prototype says more about the product’s business potential than a wordy description. For your clients, user experience is a decisive factor. Read on to see how a UX prototype can help you develop your software product, even those destined for the most complex network systems. In a nutshell, a clickable UX prototype is an interactive version of a product that allows you to show its functionalities and the user’s navigation flow in practice.

User experience in network systems: dos and don’ts

Developing complex network systems dedicated to network professionals is a huge challenge. Well-designed software will make your everyday work faster, easier and more enjoyable. An outdated UX design, on the other hand, can significantly decrease your productivity and result in errors when you’re using the system. If you are planning UX strategy for your product, read our blog post to see what guidelines you should follow. They’ll help you provide the best user experience in network applications and also avoid errors.

P4 Network Programming Language — what is it all about?

The programming language P4 is gaining in popularity in the network industry and is considered the next step in the SDN evolution. In this blog post, I will take a closer look at P4 and try to show why it is so important. Network devices like switches or routers are most commonly designed ”bottom-up.” The switch vendors that offer products to their clients usually rely on external chips from 3rd party silicon vendors. The chip is the heart of the system and in practice determines how device OS is realized and what functionality it can offer.

UX principles for complex network applications

Every application has essential elements that together lead to great user experience. Information-heavy network applications are no exception here. Yet in many cases their usability is poor due to technological debt or lack of UX expertise during the design phase. In this blog post I will highlight UX best practices in designing applications for network monitoring that will enhance user experience. The very first thing a user appreciates in an app is its smooth navigation, the real backbone of sound user experience.

A traffic generator for measuring network performance

It is probably the cloud that first comes to mind when you think about the architecture of modern services. It is an obvious choice for building large, distributed systems from scratch, as well as for the many enterprises migrating their infrastructure and services to the cloud. It is all very appealing, and modern, and intelligent. But that does not mean there are not serious challenges in going cloud. How should the infrastructure in use be tested? How can network performance be measured reliably in a cloud environment?

Business benefits of CI/CD

Rare releases, tons of manual work, critical bugs detected too late, ineffective and late feedback—these problems plague the software development process many companies keep in place. They can be tackled by turning to continuous integration coupled with Continuous Delivery/Continuous Deployment, which will also generate more value for your customers/clients. Read on to understand what business benefits of CI/CD you may expect in your company. In the traditional approach to software development, major releases were spread out, occurring quite rarely—every six months, for example.

Continuous monitoring and observability in CI/CD

Deploying a CI/CD pipeline is only a half success. To complete the deployment, you need to establish continuous monitoring and observability which will allow you to collect metrics and actionable insights. In this blogpost you will learn about the principles of monitoring and observability, how they are related and how automation can streamline the entire deployment process. DevOps culture is a good starting point here, as understanding the DevOps advantages and its principles will allow you to contextualize continuous monitoring and observability.

CI/CD process — how to handle it in 2021

This article was updated on 7/22/2021Both CI/CD and the benefits of automating software delivery were widely discussed during the FOSDEM conference held in Brussels on 1-2 February 2020. Our team was in the center of the action and brought back a great deal of news from the CI/CD world. Read on to learn all about it. Successfully implementing a CI/CD pipeline means measuring—measuring everything. Gathering and monitoring extended statistics allows you to have full control over what is happening in your CI/CD process.
