Build better apps in a smaller bundle
Playtime is our annual global event series for Google Play and it kicked off last week with some exciting updates to the platform. Take a look at the post to learn about updates to app bundles, the instant apps size limit increase, reducing crash rates and improving quality, and much more.
Spinnaker’s Kubernetes support
Spinnaker now includes a new Kubernetes provider that allows you to take advantage of the full flexibility of Kubernetes, while abstracting away much of the complexity of managing manifests. It also integrates with the Helm package manager to template your manifests, and includes initial support for traffic shaping via Istio. Details and screenshots are on the post.
