  By Samir Behara on May 22, 2019 • ( 3 )

  

  Istio is a very popular Service Mesh Framework which uses Lyft’s Envoy as the sidecar proxy.

• My Favorite Feature in Azure Data Studio

  By Samir Behara on March 11, 2019 • ( 1 )

  

  Azure Data Studio provides a lot of Extensibility options and its Extension Model is actually my favorite feature of this tool. There is no need of huge software installs and in the process getting tools/functionalities which you don’t require. The base install of Azure Data Studio is very small & lightweight. With Azure Data Studio you can customize your environment with the tooling you need. Extensions provide an easy way to add more functionality to the installation.

• SonarQube – Issues with Cyclomatic Complexity Metrics

  By Samir Behara on August 20, 2018 • ( 1 )

  

  We have been using SonarQube for inspecting code quality of our applications for a long time now. We have integrated SonarQube with our CI/CD Pipeline and configured Quality Gates — hence with every code check in we perform a static code analysis of the changes. This provides developers an early feedback of their code changes. If the code changes does not meet quality standards, the code check-in is rejected.
