We recently held an internal hackathon at Chariot and invited all employees — including non-technical staff — to participate. The aim was to have some fun, work on something interesting, and potentially learn a new skill.
Recently AWS released EKS Pod Identity which simplifies how cluster administrators can configure Kubernetes applications to obtain AWS IAM permissions. With Pod Identity you can assign an IAM role to a K8s service account using the new AWS API create-pod-identity-association and the EKS pod identity agent. When a pod starts with the associated service account, the identity agent will inject credentials so the pod can call AWS services. Here we will create a simple demo allowing a pod to access…
Hiring good candidates is difficult. After nearly 40 years in this business, and interviewing hundreds of candidates, I’m not going to claim that I have the answer. Just some ideas.
Lear how to fetch metrics and create custom endpoints for a Prometheus ServiceMonitor to scrape using the prometheus_client library in Python.
Amazon CodeGuru Reviewer promises to “detect potential defects that are difficult for developers to find,” using machine learning to identify potential problems. But how does it compare to existing rule-based tools? In this post I turn CodeGuru loose on a seven-year-old library that’s in use by 3,000 people, to see what issues it flags.
With version 21, Java got virtual (lightweight) threads. This feature has received a lot of press, but will it actually help you? In this post I review the theoretical benefits of virtual threads, and then show actual results from a benchmark.
When Kubernetes first hit the scene for container orchestration, devops engineers all asked, “Can I run my database in here?” We quickly learned the answer, “Hell no!”
Chariot Day is a tradition here at Chariot Solutions where our colleagues share what they’ve been thinking about and hacking on.
Our development teams are structured as extensions of every client and are committed to helping them achieve their goals and look great in the process.
A Deep Dive into IndexedDB In a previous article, I compared client-side storage solutions: localStorage, sessionStorage, cookies, and touched briefly on IndexedDB. In the vast ecosystem of web storage solutions, IndexedDB stands out as a powerful, low-level API for client-side storage of significant amounts of structured data. While cookies, localStorage, and sessionStorage are suited for storing smaller data sets, IndexedDB is designed to manage larger volumes of data, including complex data types that shouldn’t be stored as strings like files…
