Zero-downtime deployment with Flagsmith and CircleCI

As developers, we continually strive to improve our software. This often means rolling out new software features at a rapid pace. However, deploying new features to production is not without risk. From no real production testing to limited rollback options, traditional deployment can quickly become frustrating. The worst issues, though, usually stem from one thing: buggy features making their way into the hands of users.

Migrate to Bitbucket Pipelines from Jenkins

In this video, we briefly discuss developer experience before diving into the details of setting up and running a simple CI/CD system using Jenkins and AWS EC2. Using tightly integrated, cloud-native products like Bitbucket Pipelines provides a better developer experience than using self-hosted on-prem tools like Jenkins. With self-hosted on-prem, developers spend less time building software and solving problems for their customers and more time maintaining their on-prem software.

Stop Guessing with OAuth: Understanding CI/CD

OAuth 2.0 is the leading open authorization framework that enables secure delegated access to protected resources. From traditional web apps and browser-based apps to native apps and desktop applications, OAuth allows client apps to grant access on a user’s behalf without exposing login credentials, enabling powerful third-party applications, custom data flows, and powerful user experiences. However, while OAuth is secure, it’s not always fast.
