ReleaseHub Adds Enterprise Class Capabilities with Remote Development Environments, Datadog Integration, and Instant Data Sets

ReleaseHub

ReleaseHub, the leading provider of Environments-as-a-Service (EaaS), today announced enterprise class technologies for remote development environments, Datadog integration, and instant data management to improve developer confidence and increase release velocity. The company also announced it hired Matt Carter, former Docker Vice President of Marketing, as CMO. “This is the era of Environments as a Service, which is driving fundamental changes throughout the application development process,” said Tommy McClung, ReleaseHub CEO. “Our goal is to provide developers with the ability to write and commit code without penalty. With ReleaseHub, developers can spin up identical copies of environments as needed, within minutes.” One of the biggest bottlenecks in software delivery happens when developers are stuck waiting for access to environments. This results in significant delays in testing, debugging, and deploying software. EaaS mimics true production environments but are spun up and down on demand, so developers avoid development paralysis. EaaS signals a leap in release velocity and developer confidence. Similar to how containers let developers isolate software code, EaaS frees developers from fixed environments, letting them move quickly, at low cost, and without disrupting the workflow of their team. “We’re seeing greater EaaS uptake as developer teams recognize traditional environments are a major bottleneck,” said Matt Carter, ReleaseHub CMO. “I’ve worked at Microsoft, Chef, and Docker, and have seen many technology transitions over the years. As we add more enterprise-class features, we’re seeing similar growth now, with greater adoption among a wider range of organizations.” Additionally, ReleaseHub announced a number of new features that extend EaaS platform value to application development teams, including: Remote Development Environments ReleaseHub is improving release velocity with new technology that lets developers build code locally while running it remotely within a customer’s cloud account. Remote development environments increase release velocity by letting developers use their full stack, while receiving immediate feedback from production or production-like data in their development environment. Datadog Integration ReleaseHub is introducing native support for Datadog, enabling developers to work from the leading cloud monitoring platform. Datadog observability gives developers ReleaseHub insights from their Datadog accounts as well as single sign-on, role-based access control, and secrets management within ReleaseHub. These enterprise class features help organizations manage their DevOps pipelines at scale. Instant Data Sets ReleaseHub is accelerating the replication of application data with Instant Data Sets, which lets developers create a replica of application data in minutes. Developers can build and test against the actual data their app uses. About ReleaseHub: ReleaseHub delivers Environments-as-a-Service. It lets developers easily share progress with stakeholders when a full stack environment is created with every pull request and is shareable via custom URLs and directly in Slack. Every environment is a full instance of the app with all its services. ReleaseHub was funded by CRV, Sequoia, Y Combinator, Bow Capital, Artisanal Ventures, Hack VC, and other investors.

COMCAST ANNOUNCES NETWORK CONSTRUCTION IN WHATCOM COUNTY

Comcast Washington

Comcast today announced it has begun construction in the public rights of way to expand service to hundreds of homes in the City of Sumas. Comcast is investing more than $4.2 million to bring the entire suite of Xfinity and Comcast Business services to the citizens and businesses in the rural community of Whatcom County. The company has created an online resource for local residents seeking information about the network construction in their neighborhood, including answers to frequently asked questions and product and service details at: https://washington.comcast.com/network-expansion/. The network expansion is the latest example of Comcast’s investment in Washington state. Comcast has made $1B in technology and infrastructure investments in Washington during the last three years, including expansion and upgrades to our network. As a result, more than 2.8 million Washington homes and businesses have access to Xfinity and Comcast Business products and services with access to speeds of 1.2 gigs or more from the company’s fiber-rich network. We also operate nearly 90,000 public Xfinity Wi-Fi hotspots that are available to Comcast customers statewide. “It is going to be great to have Comcast here. It will give us more options and better service to provide high-speed internet. Local businesses are all looking forward to the reliable service that Comcast provides,” said Bruce Bosch, Mayor, City of Sumas. “If you are a home buyer or a new business that wants to move into town, having Comcast makes your decision to move to an easy one.” Once construction is completed, Sumas residents will have access to the entire Xfinity product suite, from Internet Essentials – the largest and most comprehensive low-cost internet adoption program for low-income Americans – to Comcast Business services, which delivers up to 10 gigabits-per-second (Gbps) of network capacity to local businesses. “I think that internet connectivity and WiFi are somewhat taken for granted today. When you do move out this far, you really get to experience that,” said Herman Sihota, owner and operator, Tarsem Farms in Sumas. “Gig speed technology on our farm would be a game changer. Right now, there are not a lot of options, and I am excited to get a more reliable broadband service provider out to our area.” Comcast serves more than 1.7 million residential and business customers throughout Washington state. Comcast is Washington’s leading provider of Xfinity video, high-speed internet, smart home and phone services.

The Best Thing Since Sliced Bread: This Agtech Company Brings On Its New Product For Health-Conscious Millennials

AgriFORCE Growing Systems

Learn more about AgriFORCE from this latest report. In an age of widespread agricultural pollution and obesogenic foods, consumers are looking for sustainably farmed, healthy food options. The global organic agriculture market was worth $227.2 billion in 2021, with the U.S. claiming the most retail revenue for organic food. As concerns around climate change increase, consumers are also expecting agriculture to be more locally and sustainably sourced. And they are willing to pay for it, with 66% of consumers saying that despite inflation they would pay higher prices for sustainably produced food — a number that rises to 80% among millennials. AgriFORCE Growing Systems (NASDAQ: AGRI) is launching its un(Think) Awakened Flour to meet the demands of this market. Creating a New Standard for Sprouted Grains AgriFORCE is an agtech company that is bringing solutions to the table through controlled-environment agriculture. Despite market uncertainties, this Canada-based small-cap company has thrived and has continued its focus on intellectual property (IP) development and acquisition geared toward sustainable agriculture solutions. AgriFORCE plans to launch its new product, un(Think) Awakened Flour, soon – to be available in stores by late 2022. Using patent-pending processes, AgriFORCE controls the germination of its wheat in an environment where humidity and temperature are carefully managed. This activates the enzymes in the sprouted grains, which are then milled to become Awakened Flour, created to be both nutritious and tasty. There are multiple health benefits specifically associated with sprouted grains. Due to having been harvested during the germination process, they have a greater concentration of important fibres and vitamins than traditional grains while having less starch which makes them easier to digest. The refining process traditional grains undergo also strips the fully matured grains of much of their natural nutritional value. Beyond the increase in minerals like zinc, iron, magnesium, phosphorous and vitamin B, the greater amount of fibre present in Awakened Grains is seen as a major attraction. The recent attention consumers are giving to fibre comes from its role in better heart health, increased satiation and managed weight loss. Other companies looking for technological solutions in the controlled environment agriculture space include AeroFarms (NASDAQ: ARFM) and Hydrofarm Holdings Group Inc. (NASDAQ: HYFM). “un(Think)’s Awakened Flour was created to deliver what a sprouted grain can and should provide to consumers, bakeries and other food businesses,” Hernando Ruiz-Jimenez, un(Think) Food Co.’s general manager, said about the launch of the product. “Our highly precise sprouting process is designed to increase the bioavailability of vitamins and minerals, allowing them to be absorbed by the body while changing the total amount of fibre in whole grains and helping to improve digestion and gut health. The launch of Awakened Flour, and what comes next, marks an exciting time for AgriFORCE, the market, customers and consumers.” As an IP-focused agtech company with a mission to transform farming, AgriFORCE believes that innovation and creativity, like that seen in un(Think)’s Awakened products, are the driving forces behind the sustainable agriculture of the future. Learn more about AgriFORCE by visiting its website. AgriFORCE Growing Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: AGRI; AGRIW) is an agtech company focused on building an integrated agtech platform that combines the best technology, intellectual property and knowledge to solve an urgent problem – providing the best solutions to help drive sustainable crops and nutritious food for people around the world. Looking to serve the global market, the Company’s current focus is on North America, Europe and Asia. The AgriFORCE vision is to be a leader in delivering plant-based foods and products through an advanced and sustainable agtech platform that makes positive change in the world—from seed to table.

Tribevest

Tribevest, the leaders in community finance and group investing, announced it raised over $875,000 at a $20 million valuation through a fundraising round that closed this month via Wefunder. Over 400 investors participated in the round after Tribevest’s customers overwhelmingly requested to invest in the company, which allows friends, family, and like-minded people to easily and safely invest as a group. “I’m overwhelmed by the support of our Tribevestors who believe in the power of personal community finance,” said Travis Smith, Founder and CEO of Tribeveset. “As we bring more and more tribes onto our platform, the number one question we receive is, ‘how do we invest in your company and be part of this journey with you?’ We’re built on the concept that you can accomplish more as a team.

Through Tribevest’s collaborative dashboard, investor tribes can access their records, pool capital, and transact as a single entity. Based in Columbus, Ohio, Tribevest started in 2018 after its founder struggled with the process, roadblocks, and fees required to invest as a group with his brothers. “For founders, pulling off a Community Round is one of the strongest indicators that you’ve built something successful,” said Jonny Price, VP of Fundraising at Wefunder. “It’s the highest validation from the market.” To date, over 15,000 Tribevestors have started their group investing journey through the platform and have deployed over $36 million in capital. Average monthly deposits through Tribevest exceed $3 million and the company is on pace to 5x their revenue in 2022. More than half of the tribes invest in more than one asset class.

Tribes invest in small business ventures 45% of the time, while 24% invest in stocks, 22% invest in cryptocurrency, and 7% invest in collectibles.

Knowing When To Take Your Foot Off The Gas — Things To Keep In Mind In A Bear Market

Caleb & Brown

This educational guide exploring How To Protect Crypto Assets in a Bear Market was created in conjunction with Caleb & Brown. Caleb & Brown is the world’s leading cryptocurrency brokerage. Learn more here. For many inexperienced investors, the transition between the 2021 bull market and the 2022 bear market may have had dramatic effects on their portfolios. The simple reason is that both equities and cryptocurrencies do not behave the same way in a bull market as they do in a bear market. This seems like such a common sense conclusion that it’s barely worth stating, but, for those who have never experienced both ends of the market spectrum, it’s worth repeating. Investing in a bull market is like swimming with the tide. Guided by the strength of the current, your strokes lead you to your intended destination with ease. Investing in the 2021 bull market was more like swimming in the direction of a tsunami: A purchase of Bitcoin (BTC) Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) made on Jan. 1, 2021, resulted in 120%, 227% and 1,350% returns, respectively, by April 15 of the same year. Imagine the psychological conditioning one developed as a new crypto investor in 2021. The values that have been proven to be wealth generators in the market — discipline, patience, risk management and knowledge — were all seemingly tossed out of the window. Abandoning these prudent principles may be covered up in a bull market, but in bear markets, they shine like diamonds in a field of coal. As discussed in a previous post, bear markets may provide the opportunity for bargain-picking certain assets, both traditional and digital, but they must be approached differently to bull markets. Here’s how to stay on the right course. Know Thyself First on the Bear Market Survival Guide is self-reflection. No one can tell you what kind of drop in your portfolio you can handle, or what your relationship to risk is. Investors sit on different ends of the risk-tolerance spectrum, and it’s your obligation to know where you lie. This is particularly important in bear markets, as portfolios decline and paper losses materialize. Knowing your personal risk tolerance helps you avoid catastrophic behavioral impulses like panic selling or, on the other end of the spectrum, aggressive buying. Consider the following examples as reflections of the catastrophic nature of both behaviors: As discussed in a previous article, panic selling an investment in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEARCA: SPY) at the end of 2009 would have yielded a 57% loss on an investor’s portfolio (assuming they had made their purchase at 2007’s top). If held until the peak of 2022, this loss would’ve been a 450% gain. Starting at $100,000, panic selling in 2009 would have yielded a portfolio value of $43,000, while holding until 2022 would have yielded a portfolio value of $450,000. Similarly, aggressively buying risky crypto coins like Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB) in February 2022 would have yielded a nearly 80% drop in value by June. In four months, a $100,000 investment would have dropped to $20,000. Aggressively buying risky investments may have yielded spectacular results in the midst of a bull market, but in a bear market, it could mark the end of your investing career. The first step to preventing that outcome is knowing your risk tolerance. The second is considering that you are in a bear market and that behaviors that worked before may not work now. Let The Professionals Guide You Self-awareness and self-control are keys to success in the investing field, but that doesn’t mean you have to develop these skills on your own. By enlisting help from experienced professionals, traders can shorten the learning curve required to adopt a psychological edge in the market. For Caleb & Brown, providing investors with the tools and knowledge to make sound decisions in bear markets is a fundamental business pursuit.

The Best Way To Survive A Bear Market? Some Say, “Do Nothing”

Caleb & Brown

This educational guide exploring How To Protect Crypto Assets in a Bear Market was created in conjunction with Caleb & Brown. Caleb & Brown is the world’s leading cryptocurrency brokerage. Learn more here. Between 2007 and 2009, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEARCA: SPY) declined by 56.8% — the greatest price fall in the exchange-traded fund’s (ETF) history. Few could prepare for the psychological toll of that kind of drop. At the time, many had been informed that index funds and ETFs were safe bets. Undoubtedly, professionals would have informed investors that the S&P 500 had survived two world wars and presidential assassinations, and that the 2008 crash, in due time, would be just another addition to that list. Without help from professionals, it takes substantial willpower and courage to stop emotions from taking over during tough times. However, it is the decisions you make at these pivotal moments that could define the trajectory of your wealth. History tells the story in vivid detail: Since the SPY’s apocalyptic decline between 2007 and 2009, the S&P 500 has increased by more than 450%. In a world which celebrates quick fortunes, it takes a special kind of person to appreciate the value of time as a compounder of wealth. For business magnate Warren Buffett, times of crisis represent buying opportunities. In a 1997 letter to shareholders, Buffett wrote, “Smile when you read a headline that says: ‘Investors lose as market falls.’ Edit it in your mind to, ‘ Dis investors lose as market falls — but investors gain.’” Investors gain by getting bargains and avoiding the panic sell. Here’s how to do the same. Average Wins Versus Losses In Bull And Bear Markets The stock market’s history and the figures surrounding bull and bear markets support the argument that time is a great investing tool. By widening time horizons, traders and investors can avoid panic selling in times of crisis and maintain low-cost positions in anticipation of the next bull market. Here are some figures to support this idea: According to Hartford Funds, stocks lose 36% on average in bear markets and gain 110% on average in bull markets. There have been 26 bear markets – as defined by a drop of over 20% – in the S&P 500 Index since 1928, and 27 bull markets. On average, bull market gains far outweigh bear market losses. The average length of a bear market is 289 days (0.8 years), while the average length of a bull market is 991 days (2.7 years). In 98 years of market history, stocks have been on the rise 78% of the time. The figures above are in line with the idea of an ever-growing economy with occasional drops — corrections or recessions — ultimately fueling future growth. This is reflected in the cryptocurrency market, as well. Holding Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) over any five-year span has always resulted in financial gain. Avoiding The Panic Sell? In his book “The Psychology of Money,” Morgan Housel says, “A genius who loses control of their emotions can be a financial disaster. The opposite is also true. Ordinary folks with no financial education can be wealthy if they have a handful of behavioral skills that have nothing to do with formal measures of intelligence.” One of the greatest behavioral skills the long-term investor can develop is the ability to do nothing in times of crisis. While seemingly counterintuitive, the figures above, and the greatest value investor of our time, tell us this is sound advice. Acting rationally on this information, however, can be difficult when emotions are tied to investors’ money. Objectivity, patience and calm are key. For Caleb & Brown, the world’s leading cryptocurrency brokerage, providing investors with education and professional guidance is a fundamental business value. Unlike exchanges and other brokerages that just provide a platform to execute trades, Caleb & Brown offers personalized service, and is available 24/7 to help clients better understand and navigate the crypto markets through bearish conditions and bull runs. When emotions start to take control of the wheel, it never hurts to have a professional who’s just a phone call away by your side. Make sure you’ve got the guidance you require to help you avoid the panic sell. Click here to learn more about Caleb & Brown.
