Mocking API requests with Mirage

Building full-stack applications can be challenging, especially when developing the backend and frontend at the same time. In this scenario, frontend teams may have to wait for the backend team to finish building an API before they implement. This is where Mirage.js comes in. In this tutorial, you will explore how to use Mirage.js in frontend applications and mock backend requests for services that have not yet been developed.

Without guardrails, engineering teams head for a deadly crash

Every team has guardrails, whether you recognize them or not. They’re a form of automation that can have significant impact on your software development process and the people doing the work. They’re another way to give toil the boot and keep developers in the flow. We’ve made the case for engineering automation in a previous article; here’s how guardrails as automations ensure that agreed upon boundaries and ways of working are codified into team processes.

GitOps the Planet #13: eBPF - what's all the buzz about with Liz Rice

Liz Rice has a knack for predicting the future of DevOps and she's all a buzz about eBPF, a revolutionary technology to dynamically program kernels for networking, observability, tracing, and security. The technology is driving a lot of excitement but what does the ability to hook into the kernel really give us and how is it changing software delivery?

Introduction to SBOMs - What is it and do I need one? - Cloudsmith's Unpacked Conference 2023

Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) are new and exciting, but what do they actually do and do you REALLY need one? If you read any security news lately, it seems like everyone is talking about how an SBOM can solve whatever problem they have, and they are years into their SBOM journey. But many of us don’t even know what they are.

Real World Strategies for Securing the Software Supply Chain - Cloudsmith's Unpacked Conference 2023

While "secure software supply chain" can feel like a buzzword, the past 18 months have shown companies, open-source communities, and vendors making significant progress toward making it a reality. In this panel discussion, real-world practitioners will share their insights and experiences in securing the software supply chain. The panelists will cover a range of topics, from best practices in vulnerability management, risk assessment of open-source dependencies, and generating authenticated provenance, to the challenges of integrating security into the DevOps workflow. They will provide actionable strategies for improving security while maintaining development speed, and share real-world examples of how their organizations have successfully secured their software supply chains.

Reduce cycle time with effective pull requests

A pull request (PR) is (quite literally) a request to pull a change into a project’s code or documentation. It is a popular change management process supported by many VCS providers including GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Codeberg, and others. Typically these come with features to track open pull requests, tools to assist in reviewing the changes, the ability to approve—or reject—PRs, and finally to merge approved PRs.
