Yesterday was buy a company day! First, Atlassian announced their acquisition of StatusPage. This is yet another step in the DevOps and monitoring direction for Atlassian. Amazon acquired Cloud9, which gives them a development environment in the cloud. Basically, Amazon does not want to give you a reason to not use their services. In the not quite an acquisition category, we have a great post from Astronomer on their near investment and acquisition. It is an excellent look into what can happen during the both of those deals.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
