Like many software teams, here at Kosli we use a continuous delivery approach. This means that every commit to our trunk is automatically built, tested, and deployed to our production-like staging environment. This provides us with the confidence that every build is potentially deployable to production. We use our staging environment to perform final exploratory testing before we deploy to production. Deployments to production are “on-demand”.

With software delivery, speed is everything. But how do you balance rapid delivery with quality, security, and compliance? To answer this question, let’s embark on a journey - one that starts in a software factory to running on the production superhighway.

“What’s really running in prod?” Every engineer will hear these immortal words on a long enough timeline (or career). It might be because a new security zero day was dropped, alerts fired from the depths of a vast microservice architecture, or you might just be looking to know what commit was actually tested. Either way, it often comes with the promise of a stressful day.

IoT device management refers to processes or practices used to deploy, monitor and maintain IoT devices. As organizations scale up their IoT efforts, a solid device management approach is essential to running a secure, streamlined fleet of devices. The proliferation of connected devices worldwide (projected to reach 18.8 billion in 2024) means that IoT device management is growing more complex, a reality that has not gone unnoticed by bad actors.

Snowflake and Databricks are both robust data platforms. Both are built for speed, scale, and cloud-native applications. They also prioritize efficiency and adherence to strict data protection protocols. Yet each adopts a distinct approach and features suited to its architecture and various use cases. It is these differences that can make all the difference in the way your data is processed, analyzed, reported, and more.

For the past two years, AI enthusiasts have been treated to a nonstop procession of lightspeed innovations. ChatGPT rang the era in with a bang; millions of blogs, emails, trivia questions, and sonnets later, Microsoft etched the writing on the wall with its $10 billion investment in OpenAI, ChatGPT’s progenitor. Since then, companies from Alphabet to Zoom have scrambled to somehow, some way, integrate AI into their core offerings.

This guide will walk you through configuring GitHub Dependabot to authenticate with Cloudsmith using OIDC.

Businesses rely on accurate network monitoring data because the network is the backbone of IT infrastructure. Lacking internal or external communication about your network can be disastrous, especially if you provide digital goods or services. Network monitoring tools shouldn't be a "nice to have" that may or may not make this year's department budget. They are essential to monitoring performance, spotting anomalies, and identifying potential security issues.
