The latest News and Information on DevOps, CI/CD, Automation and related technologies.
In this episode of Mooving to… Stability: The Role of Catastrophic Failure in Software Design, we had the opportunity to chat with Jeff Atwood, yes that Jeff Atwood of, Coding Horror, Stack Overflow, and Discourse (Chief Happiness Officer). Jeff started writing 911 software in Boulder, Colorado for a small company, which was a crash-course in writing code for software that has real consequences. With this unique and deep perspective, B.J.
A CI/CD pipeline is the most fundamental component of automated software development. While the term has been used to describe many different aspects of computer science, at CircleCI, and within much of the DevOps industry, we use “pipeline” to illustrate the broad applications of behaviors and processes involved in continuous integration (CI).
While Go provides a testing package and a go test command, the former only offers basic testing capabilities. The package also has some drawbacks, such as missing assertions and increasing repetition with large-scale tests. As a result, several Go testing frameworks have been created to augment it. Go testing frameworks consist of tools and resources for creating and designing tests. Some of these frameworks incorporate the testing package and go test command, while others take a different approach.
Over the past few months, we set out to drastically reduce the amount of time Code Manager takes to deploy code and sand down some rough edges to make it more stable and robust. In order to understand what we were able to achieve, we need a quick primer on how code is deployed to a Puppet Server in the first place. There are three parts to a Code Manager code deployment: We’ve improved each of these three parts of the Code Manager code deployment.
