Automated Deployment Monitoring with Lightstep and Codefresh

Today’s development environment demands fast iterations and frequent deployments. How do you know if the changes that you’re making to your microservices are having the desired impact on your end-users? With Codefresh and Lightstep, you’re able to more quickly, more accurately, and more confidently ensure that any commit and build results in a better experience for your end-users.

Announcing Native Support for Kubernetes Secrets in Codefresh Pipelines

Secret management has been one of the most challenging areas when it comes to application deployments. Especially in the era of containers and dynamic services that come and go all the time, secret storage and rotation is more important than ever. Today we release our brand-new secret management integration that allows you to use Kubernetes secrets and configmaps straight into Codefresh pipelines in the easiest way possible.

Shifting Security Left with Prisma Cloud and Codefresh

The move to DevOps, high-frequency deployments and containerization has introduced two new asset classes along with the opportunities to significantly improve the security posture of applications throughout the CI/CD pipeline. These new assets are templates in order to deploy infrastructure and applications, defined as code. The second of these asset classes are the container images which contain the packages, code, and binaries for a specific application. However, more often than not security is an afterthought, bolted on and addressed at runtime.

Logging Best Practices in the CI/CD Era

With the overabundance of log data available today, it’s easy to simply limit logging events. However, this pattern overlooks the latent value in your log data. To be proactive, rather than reactive. Utilizing their experience serving 1,500+ customers worldwide, Ariel Assaraf, CEO of Coralogix, will show you how to transform your logs into a treasure trove of opportunities for improving your CICD process and anticipating operational problems before they happen.

Observability: From Push to Production

Developers are building and deploying to production with greater frequency. Elite organizations are deploying to production multiple times per day. All the while we continue to distribute our applications even wider with the adoption of micro-services, and global deployments. This consistent churn and increasing code complexity create the perfect storm that makes finding problems even harder. How do you know the changes just committed actually deployed? How do you know the changes worked?

How to Run and Apply a Codefresh Helmfile: a Step-by-Step Guide

If you’re looking to deploy your services to Kubernetes, Helm works great. However, once you start deploying to multiple environments, developing code as a team, or automating in a CI/CD pipeline, you start to run into limitations with Helm. Codefresh Pipelines using Helmfile has the power and flexibility to address these issues and many others. It’s also one of the best ways to organize your Helm code and values.
