At CircleCI, we care about security - in 2018, we became the first CI/CD tool to meet the rigorous security and privacy standards required by government agencies to get FedRAMP authorized. Now, CircleCI is SOC 2 certified, adding another industry-recognized security accreditation.

YAML is a digestible data serialization language that is often utilized to create configuration files and works in concurrence with any programming language. YAML is a data serialization language designed for human interaction. It’s a strict superset of JSON, another data serialization language. But because it’s a strict superset, it can do everything that JSON can and more.

The adoption of Infrastructure as Code(IaC) has skyrocketed in recent years as engineers seek ways to deploy cloud infrastructure faster and more efficiently. IaC refers to the technologies and processes that manage and provision infrastructure using machine-readable languages (code) as opposed to inefficient manual operations.

A build scan is a shareable and centralized record of an Android build that provides insights into what happened and why.

If you are looking for an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool, Terraform probably tops your list. In this tutorial, you will learn how to automate the deployment of changes to your infrastructure using Terraform and CircleCI workflows. The workflows will use Approval Jobs. For this project, we will deploy the infrastructure we build to Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

TL;DR: This year’s State of DevOps Report is the 10th anniversary edition of this annual research on how practitioners are making DevOps work for them. Whether you’re a big time CircleCI user or are just beginning your career, we want to hear from you. Please take the survey so your voice is represented in the 2021 State of DevOps.

CircleCI has released new Arm-based compute in preview. Arm processors and architectures are becoming widely available as development teams adopt them as compute nodes in many application infrastructures. Organizations that need to run microservices, application servers, databases, and other workloads in a cost-effective way will continue to turn to the Arm architecture.

Apache Cordova, since its release in 2009, has created a paradigm shift for mobile application development. Before Cordova, only developers who knew platform dedicated languages for a particular type of mobile operating system could develop native mobile applications. There was Objective-C for developing iOS apps, or Java for Android apps and platforms like Blackberry. Windows Phone also had languages dedicated to building their mobile applications.
