  • New prices and plans for Flownative Beach

    For the first time since we launched Beach we make adjustments to our pricing model, based on how our customers use Beach today and what is planned for the future. We added some plans, removed others and updated prices for most of them.

    tldr; We love transparency, so I'm going to give you some insights into how our prices come to be. However, if you're only interested in the actual changes and not the background information, you can skip to "what we changed" further below.

    The Guess Work

    PHP 8 is now available in Beach and Local Beach, with support in Flow and Neos right around the corner!

    Throughout the last weeks we've been busy with a major rework behind the scenes: We introduced a centralized authentication service for Flownative Beach and future services we are going to offer.

  • Semantic Versioning and version number formats

    In an automated build and deployment pipeline you deal a lot with version numbers. At Flownative, we generally follow the rules of Semantic Versioning, since it's a widely-used standard.

    One of the benefits of using such a standard is, that many tools play well together. There are also regular expressions you can use to check your own made up version numbers. So, since there is a standard, and your tool claims to support it, everything should be clear, right?

  • Choosing a secure Docker base image

    When you are looking for a secure Docker base image, what are you looking for excactly?

    At Flownative, we run a lot of tools and applications in Docker containers – most prominently Flownative Beach. Early on, we decided to not rely on off-the-shelf images for PHP, Redis and all the other components we need, because we wanted to know what we are running and not just hope that image maintainers will keep an eye on security issues.
