Learn how and why GreenSock became our animation pick

Feeling uncertain about how to add animation to a Web site or single page app? We’ve been in the same boat. There are plenty of CSS and JS animation frameworks available, ranging from free and easy (but limited and inflexible) to steeper learning curve, robust, can-do-almost-anything paid options. None are necessarily a “bad” choice, but you definitely don’t want to make a choice and find out later it can’t do everything you need, then have to start over with something new (losing valuable project time and developer resources, maybe even client confidence).

We're going to create an operations repo that creates and manages an AWS EKS cluster using Terraform and deploys a Helm chart to the cluster. We'll use BitOps to orchestrate this whole process.

Building complex web applications is hard. Building complex web applications that you can still understand once you’ve built them is even harder.

When you design a microservice system, there are some key topics and tools you should be familiar with. Designing a successful microservice system differs from developing a successful monolithic application in several key ways, and the better understanding you have of these differences the better you’ll be able to ensure that your environment is reliable, secure, and consistent. In this article, we’ll discuss eight topics that NodeJS microservice developers should be familiar with.

Terraform is one of the best tools for provisioning cloud infrastructure, but when working with virtual machines lacks good support for SSH'ing on to the server to configure it. This is where Ansible shines.

Passing the output of Terraform in to Ansible is not a documented process, so we'll be looking at a practical example using Terraform to create an AWS EC2 instance and configure NGINX on it with Ansible. The whole process will be orchestrated using BitOps - an open source deployment tool that bundles and runs terraform and ansible executables.
