JFrog and Upswift: Bringing IoT Software Updates to DevOps Upswift Acquistion

JFrog has acquired Upswift to bring the world of connected devices into the DevOps pipeline! Managing fleets of devices and edge applications remotely - including over-the-air (OTA) updates, security, monitoring, controlling and more - has quickly become unwieldy for most companies, with growth of connected devices expected to reach 24 billion in 2026.

GitLens for Visual Studio Code, and its Creator Eric Amodio, Join GitKraken

For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Eric Amodio, creator of GitLens. I’m an innovator, leader, architect, and seasoned full-stack developer. I started developing GitLens way back in 2016 when I fell in love with Visual Studio Code and wanted to play with what was then newly released extension support. It all started with a simple question: could I add Git insights via CodeLens (hence GitLens) to any document? Which of course was yes, and a whole lot more.

Managing IoT Software Updates at Scale: Our Acquisition of Upswift

With the increasing proliferation of connected devices, it might be assumed that deploying software to devices, providing incremental updates, application security and IoT device management at scale are all rolled into companies’ DevOps pipelines as one big happy portfolio. Sadly, this has not been the case to date. Most IoT software updates and management solutions today are operated in a complete silo from corporations’ DevOps processes.
