SonarQube is a universal tool for code analysis that provides continuous inspection of your code to highlight existing and newly introduced issues. This allows you to “Clean as You Code”, which aims to reach the maximum code quality in your newly written code. This post will: The SonarQube architecture consists of a server and a SonarScanner. The Scanner is a separate client type application that is used to analyze projects in connection with SonarQube.

Today Amazon, Codefresh, GitHub, Microsoft, and Weaveworks are announcing the creation of the GitOps Working Group. This will be an open CNCF community project created inside the CNCF fluxcd GitHub organization as the initial venue for collaboration and open governance.

Creating preview environments as a result of making pull requests is one of those practices that have vast potential and are yet largely overlooked. There is a strong chance that you are not using them, even though they can drastically increase productivity. I will not explain what preview environments are, besides stating that they are temporary environments created when pull requests are made and destroyed when PRs are closed.

Today marks our first step towards the future. Codefresh is launching a number of new features aimed at improving the experience and speed of continuous integration and deployment with GitOps.

The Docker infrastructure abstracts a lot of aspects of the creation of images and running them as containers, which we usually do not know about nor interact with. One of those aspects is the handling of the filesystem inside the container. This post is a case study on how we discovered that writing large amounts of data inside a container has side effects with memory caching. Initially, we thought that we had an issue with our source code, but this was never the case.

The conversation usually starts with a question like “should we let ArgoCD/Flux/whatever synchronize the actual state automatically whenever the desired state changes in Git?” Truth be told, the question is usually not that elaborated, and it is more like “should I enable the auto-sync feature?” But, I wanted to save you from follow-up questions that help me better understand what that means, so I gave you a more extended and more precise version of the inquiry.

Managing dependencies across multiple repositories and implementing updates to multiple repositories at the same time can be a time consuming and error-prone task. Thus, organizations have taken the approach of managing multiple projects in the same repository, called a Monorepo. The benefits of using a Monorepo become clear with the right tooling. One of those tools is Lerna, which can be used to manage Node-based Monorepos.
