AMA: Achieving code reliability across the release cycle

Code coverage, arguably a very important measure that we as development teams don’t pay enough attention to. That is until Sentry notifies you of a frustrating/critical/oh s*#t moment. Then we all think: “how could this have been avoided?”, “why didn’t our tests catch it?”, “oh… we didn’t have any coverage on this flow.” With our new Codecov integration, you can avoid regressions (and awkward conversations) by being able to see which lines that caused an issue are covered and which ones are not - right in the stack trace we kick out on every error report.

Deploy a Dockerized Go application to Azure

As a software engineer, one of your goals is to ensure that your product can be accessed globally by your customers. It’s not enough that an app is bug-free and works flawlessly if it only works on localhost. Docker was introduced to solve the “it works on my machine” problem. For example, the particular version of a programming language a developer is using on Windows or MacOS may not be working on the hosting server.

Pulse-check your engineering team performance

If you're being asked to do more with less on your software engineering team, you need to be able to see at a glance how your team is doing. Are you deploying at a consistent rate? What's your lead time for changes? Where are your bottlenecks? Our CTO, Don Brown, shows how we take a pulse of our performance at Sleuth using DORA metrics.
