At swampUP2020 we were delighted to have a keynote interview with Splunk CTO & SVP Tim Tully. In this fireside chat Tim talks at length about how Splunk has evolved over the last two decades, and how he is driving technical innovation to equip customers far beyond log analytics.

Faithful operation of your JFrog Platform can be best assured by tracking usage data of Artifactory and Xray. With insights gained through real-time observability and log analytics, you can boost the efficiency of your DevOps pipeline and keep your software releases running joyfully. Datadog is a SaaS-based data analytics platform that is a popularly used monitoring service for cloud-scale applications.

At swampUP 2020, DevOps platform engineer Roman Roberman spoke about AppsFlyer’s need to gain control and automate their development environment. AppsFlyer’s mobile app Attribution Analytics platform helps marketers measure and optimize their user acquisition funnel. Headquartered in San Francisco, AppsFlyer operates 18 global offices, and its platform is integrated with over 2,000 ad networks, including Yahoo, Google, and Bing.

At this year’s swamUP 2020 conference, we were fortunate to have several customers who showcased their skillful use of our products for achieving ambitious goals. One such session presentation was delivered by Navin Ramineni, Director of Infrastructure Engineering at Salesforce.

Running the JFrog DevOps Platform on Kubernetes in your enterprise can mean serving millions of artifacts to developers and customers each day. But operating at top performance requires being able to answer some vital questions. Like what is the most requested artifact? What is the most popular repo? Who are your heaviest users? For security, which users are doing bad things, and from which IPs?

Most modern software today has moved aggressively into using third-party open source dependencies to reduce duplication and accelerate development by using pre-existing code.

Long release cycles are no longer viable in the world of software development. The promise of DevOps has been to materially shrink time to value. Like most meaningful transitions, this one hasn’t always been a simple flip of a switch. For many organizations, development teams have become complex and unwieldy. So, the custodians of DevOps have found it difficult to achieve broader adoption of DevOps principles across engineering teams.

In the annual roadmap keynote of our SwampUP 2020 conference, JFrog CTO and co-founder Yoav Landman, CPO Dror Bereznitsky and VP of Engineering Avi Cavale delivered a landmark message: If you’re not focused on binaries and distributing them to the edge, you’re risking the future of your business. Under the theme DevOps, Fast Forward, JFrog’s annual user conference showcased how the impact of the global pandemic has accelerated companies’ digital transformation plans.

DevOps teams rely on Artifactory as the bread and butter tool of universal binary repo managers, but observing its operations can be challenging. With multiple high availability nodes and unification with Xray as the JFrog DevOps Platform, that operations data is spread out across logs for each service in the JFrog Platform deployment. Operations teams need a view into valuable data insights that can only be gained through real time data mining and observation of the platform.

Operations teams need to automate deployment of applications, and Helm is the industry-standard solution for deploying to Kubernetes. Like many software vendors, we provide Helm charts for installing Artifactory and other JFrog DevOps platform products, designed for the standard/recommended configurations most teams will need. These templates provide customers a limited set of configuration options.
