What is the SPACE developer productivity framework?
The SPACE framework is an acronym for an approach to measuring, understanding, and optimizing engineering productivity. Outlined by researchers from GitHub, Microsoft, and the University of Victoria, it encourages leaders to look at productivity holistically, placing leading metrics in context with each other and linking them to output, often team goals, rather than individual effort. The SPACE framework breaks productivity into five metrics.
How to secure your database
Cybersecurity threats are increasing in volume, complexity and impact. Yet, organisations struggle to counter these growing threats. Cyber attacks often intend to steal, damage, hijack or alter value-generating data. In this article around database security, we use the NIST framework to lay out the common controls that you can implement to secure your databases. Let’s start by discussing the potential impact of unsecured databases.
Database Migrations in the Era of Kubernetes Microservices
In our extensive guide of best ci/cd practices we included a dedicated section for database migrations and why they should be completely automated and given the same attention as application deployments. We explained the theory behind automatic database migrations, but never had the opportunity to talk about the actual tools and give some examples on how database migrations should be handled by a well disciplined software team.

How to mitigate the challenges of data growth
Over the last decade, I’ve rarely met a data professional whose organization wasn’t experiencing data growth and making more demands of their data. We build and deploy new applications faster than we retire old ones, and new data is accumulating dramatically faster on our existing systems than our ability to decide to delete older information. Additionally, the ever-growing number of users and devices interacting with that data increases the strain on the infrastructure underpinning it.
