Capital One offers a variety of financial products, such as credit cards, financial accounts, and auto financing. Now, Capital One might appear as a leading financial institution. But it views itself as a technology company that provides financial services — rather than a financial services company that uses technology. Capital One has differentiated itself as an innovator throughout its 30-year history.

In today’s increasingly data-driven business landscape, security and compliance are more important for enterprise software than ever before. In an age where high-profile data breaches and regulatory violations seem to make headlines more frequently, enterprises must prioritize the protection of sensitive information while ensuring compliance with an exceedingly complicated labyrinth of legal and industry-specific requirements.

Efficient monitoring and visualization of performance metrics are paramount for ensuring seamless user experiences and reliable system operations. Grafana and Graphite, two powerful open-source tools, form an unbeatable combination when it comes to monitoring and analyzing time-series data. Grafana provides a robust and flexible platform for visualizing data, while Graphite acts as a scalable and efficient backend for storing and retrieving metric data.

Monitoring CPU temperature is crucial for ensuring the smooth and efficient functioning of computer systems. As processors become more powerful, they generate more heat, which can lead to performance issues, system instability, and even hardware damage. Overheating is a common problem faced by many computer users, especially those who engage in resource-intensive tasks like gaming or running complex software.

Open source projects are a testament to the possibilities of collective action. From small libraries to large-scale systems, these projects rely on the volunteer efforts of communities to evolve, improve, and sustain. The principles behind successful open source projects resonate deeply with the divide-and-conquer strategy, a universal approach that has proven effective across multiple disciplines.

In today’s digital age, the need for efficient document storage and collaboration tools is more pressing than ever. Microsoft, being a leader in the enterprise solutions sector, offers two standout products in this category: SharePoint and OneDrive. While both tools hail from the same Microsoft family and integrate seamlessly with other Microsoft 365 apps, they serve distinct purposes. Let’s delve deeper into the nuances of each and understand their primary differences.

To excel in embedded development in 2023, it is essential to have a solid understanding of build systems, continuous integration, and deployment strategies. This workshop by Percepio training partner Jacob Beningo aims to provide a comprehensive primer on these practices, equipping participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to tackle complex firmware projects with confidence.

Are your CI/CD pipelines at risk? They might be if you use long-lived, static credentials and tokens. Long-lived, static credentials and tokens are one of the most common causes of data breaches in cloud environments. CI/CD tools need access to cloud services to publish artifacts, deploy software, and access resources on their cloud provider. So, they need credentials. It's tempting to hard-code them. But that's a bad idea.

Hey, Matt from GitKraken here. I’ll admit, we’re a tad obsessed with developer productivity. Tools like GitKraken Client and GitLens are great for helping any developer go further, faster. But building software is most often a team sport. So over the past year, customers of all sizes have been imploring us to fill two important voids.
