Version control systems are valuable tools for tracking and managing changes to software projects. They record every modification to software code and store the complete project history in a database, enabling developers to collaborate, experiment with new features, and roll back changes when necessary. Git is the most widely used version control system today.
Release notes provide essential documentation when a new software version is released. For release notes to be most effective, dev teams must consolidate all of the work that has been done since the previous release. It is a hectic task that requires a lot of effort and time sorting through weeks or even months of software issues and pull requests. Why not make the life of the release team easier by automating the creation of release notes?
Apple developers across the globe leverage CircleCI’s vast selection of macOS resources to swiftly build, test, and deploy software. Today, CircleCI introduced its first M1 resource to provide customers with record-breaking build speed that will bring their software delivery to the next level.
You can use CircleCI’s cloud resources to run your CI/CD jobs, but there may be times you want to run them on your infrastructure. If your team imposes privileged access and control requirements, a self-hosted infrastructure might be best for running your jobs. CircleCI’s self-hosted runners lets you do exactly that. It is easy to get started and start using self-hosted runners.
Containers are a useful tool for deploying applications because they allow for the packaging of an application’s code, libraries, and dependencies into a single, isolated unit. This makes it easy to deploy and run the application on any computer or server that has the necessary container software installed.
DevOps has become the de facto methodology in software development. With it, software engineers can take operations into their own hands, using techniques such as Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to automate infrastructure deployment. However, as the popularity of DevOps has grown, so has the complexity of modern application development. Developers must learn new tools and maintain infrastructure while coding and prioritizing ops tasks alongside feature development.
