Microservices offer a lot of things; they increase performance, elasticity and resilience. Truth be told, though, if you don’t have a phenomenal monitoring strategy in place, they will become just a distributed nightmare at the touch of a button. Just imagine a significant incident that occurs in your system, and guess what? Your team is ill-equipped to guess which of your dozens (or hundreds!) of services is failing. Without solid monitoring, that’s the horror story.  So that’s where Middleware comes in to help the organizations properly monitor all the microservices in detail to get the proper insights. Collecting data is not…

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA Sometimes, they are demonized, and sometimes, they are useful. Infinite loops come in a variety of options in PHP, so let’s put them neatly on a shelf, with all theirs variations. Classic while (true) To make an infinite loop, the most simple is to take a loop, and make it unconditional. The poster child for this is while (true). Using do…while(true) Obviously, do…while can do the same than while, but it is seldom mentionned anywhere. Indeed, do…while is roughly used 10 times less than while. The main difference is that the loop will be executed at least…
We recently launched a new, reimagined Docker MCP Catalog with improved discovery and a new submission process. Containerized MCP servers offer a secure way to run and scale agentic applications and minimize risks tied to host access and secret management. Developers can submit servers in two ways: Docker-built servers, which include our full security suite (signatures, SBOMs, attestations, and continuous scanning), or community-built servers, which are built and maintained by developers using their own Docker images. In this blog, we’ll share 5 MCP server best practices for designing, testing, and packaging them for submission. These recommendations are based on our…

For decades, telecom operators have relied on legacy systems that are highly customized, deeply intertwined and challenging to scale. These systems have supported critical functions such as billing, provisioning and customer management, but in many cases, they are now holding providers back from innovation, agility and long-term growth. As the industry pivots toward cloud-native, data-driven architectures, modernizing these legacy environments has become a business priority. Today, a combination of generative AI, DevOps practices and modular system design is enabling telecom organizations to transform with greater speed, intelligence and resilience, without destabilizing the core of their operations. Using GenAI and DevOps to Streamline…
These days, almost every tech company is looking for ways to integrate AI into their apps and workflows, and Docker is no exception. They’ve been rolling out some impressive AI capabilities across their products. This is my first post as a Docker Captain and in this post, I want to shine a spotlight on a feature that hasn’t gotten nearly enough attention in my opinion: Docker’s AI Agent Gordon (also known as Docker AI), which is built into Docker Desktop and CLI. Gordon is really helpful when it comes to containerizing applications. Not only does it help you understand how…
