The latest News and Information on DevOps, CI/CD, Automation and related technologies.
When you think of TDD, you might lean towards Test-Driven-Development. Though in Tomasz Manugiewicz’s ACE 2022 talk, the ‘T’ in TDD could also mean Trust e.g Trust-Driven-Development. The talk, boils down to if there is trust, there is autonomy. If there is autonomy, creativity flourishes. Building trust is done incrementally, incremental success builds success. Software engineering is a team sport and an exercise in iteration.
Configuring applications, services, and environments by modifying plain text files is a standard part of modern software development. Configuration as Code (CaC) takes this one step further by systematically generating, storing, and managing configuration files. CaC allows development teams to automate config management for their applications and environments while ensuring consistency and traceability throughout the development life cycle.
When building serverless applications on AWS Lambda, Amazon CloudWatch provides out-of-the-box metrics that measure the performance, errors, and duration of your functions. Although these standard Lambda metrics provide visibility into your serverless applications, it can also be invaluable to monitor custom metrics that are unique to your use case and application.
Ciara details how and when to generate an SBoM with the help of open-source tooling. Learn how to host SBoMs, as well as other SBoM considerations.
Modern application deployments rely heavily on containerization for its scalability, availability and ease of maintenance. Legacy applications implemented before the containerization era often use monolithic, hardware-centric architectures that are difficult to scale and manage. These legacy applications may have multiple services bundled into the same deployment unit without a logical grouping.
The first continuous integration (CI) tools were all self-hosted, meaning they ran on a developer’s local computer or server. Although this setup was viewed favorably by dev teams at the time, it has limited flexibility, and developers had to spend time maintaining the infrastructure.
