How engineers can improve creativity ft. Corey Latislaw of Trainline

Engineering leadership isn't just about technical execution—it's about unlocking the creative potential that drives individual and team success. CircleCI CTO Rob Zuber sits down with Corey Latislaw, Head of Engineering at Trainline and executive coaching expert, to explore how creativity transforms both careers and team dynamics.

Platform Team Toolkit demo

Platform teams face an impossible choice: rigid standardization that slows developers down, or operational chaos that creates security gaps. CircleCI's new Platform Team Toolkit eliminates this tradeoff by delivering self-service developer experiences with built-in governance. What You'll See in This Demo: Key Benefits: Perfect for platform engineers, DevOps teams, and engineering leaders who need to scale software delivery without sacrificing speed or safety.

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.

Implementing IT Access Management: A DevOps Operations Guide for Streamlined Security Integration

Effective IT access management in DevOps requires implementing automated controls that scale with development workflows while maintaining security principles throughout the entire software lifecycle.

Balancing Speed and Safety with Continuous Delivery

The benefits of continuous delivery are well known these days: rapid feedback, speed of innovation, reduced fault recovery time, and increased confidence in release processes. Along the same lines, those who release less frequently are likely to encounter more stress. Continuous delivery is a spectrum; it doesn’t have to mean blasting every commit to all production environments at once. So, how do we strike a balance between speed and safety?

Patterns for safe and efficient cache purging in CI/CD pipelines

"There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things."—Phil Karlton In the age of increasingly frequent deploys, edge caching, and Jamstack adoption, caching plays a key role across the software delivery life cycle. In build and CI pipelines, caching compiled assets or dependencies helps reduce compute costs, speed up job runtimes, and lower the environmental impact (regarding energy usage) of repeated builds.

The Innovation vs. Control Syndrome: Unlocking Enterprise AI's Full Potential

From optimizing supply chains to personalizing customer experiences, artificial intelligence and machine learning models are no longer statistics-based revenue initiatives; they’re foundational to modern business strategy. Organizations are pouring resources into developing and deploying AI, driven by the promise of unprecedented efficiency, insight, and competitive advantage. Yet, beneath this surging wave of innovation lies a growing tension: the Innovation vs. Control Syndrome.
