Package promotion workflows are a great way to isolate and protect production repositories away from pubic upstreams, so they only receive clear and vetted packages.

Development operations (DevOps) combines best practices, cultural transformation, and tools to improve your organization’s software development and delivery velocity.

We are happy to announce that Bitbucket Pipelines now supports non-containerized Linux Shell Self-Hosted Runners. We have moved from beta to an official release.

Mend is an automated vulnerability scanning tool that helps teams detect and resolve issues quickly. Mend can discover outdated packages and tell you if you’re relying on tools with known issues. Then, through automated remediation, Mend creates pull requests for developers with specific guidance on resolving those issues. Mend conducts static code analysis as well as package and dependency management analysis to identify weaknesses.

The Serverless framework is an open-source framework written in Node.js that simplifies the development and deployment of AWS Lambda functions. It frees you from worrying about how to package and deploy the application to the cloud, so you can focus on your application logic. Serverless applications are distributed by design, so good code coverage is vital, and should include unit testing.

As you might be aware, each team has its own unique workflow based on the project type, size of the company, team preferences, and a number of other factors. The larger the team, the more difficult it is to keep things under control: disputes become more regular, delivery deadlines may postpone, priorities always change - the list may go on and on. Adapting Git is the first step in resolving these challenges, as it can be used in almost any workflow.
