We have almost 50 developers working with different technologies to develop, test and ship apps for our demanding clients. With multiple git pushes and merge requests per hour there is a need for fast and optimized flow.

This is how we use powerful Jenkins Pipeline with Shared Pipeline Library with Jenkins and Gitlab.

Google Launcher vs. Google Container Engine MongoDB benchmark

Amazon RDS vs. Google SQL benchmark
We have tested two database-as-a-service solutions from two major players: Google Cloud SQL Second Generation, Amazon RDS for MySQL and official MariaDB Docker container running as a single instance without any replication on Google Container Engine. MariaDB was used in the test as a baseline, only to see if there is any significant performance overhead of replication and the difference between MySQL and MariaDB. What are the benchmark results?

At Ackee, we develop quite a lot of static websites using React. When using Google Storage Buckets behind Cloudflare’s CDN, you will probably run into a few problems with the React Router, limited Bucket’s webserver, and https settings. Cloudflare also needs custom settings to serve the React app properly.
