Expanding OCI support in JFrog Artifactory with dedicated OCI repos

Great news for developers who leverage containers — JFrog has expanded its support for the OCI Container standard with dedicated OCI repositories! Before we touch on that, let’s do a quick recap on OCI containers for those unfamiliar with them outside the context of Docker.

Leveraging AI for community moderation: A tale of two assistants

Ask any community member who’s ever donned the moderator tag in a new forum and they’ll agree that handling a multitude of new general questions, technical queries, and troubleshooting scenarios can be challenging at first. However, thanks to the rise of AI-powered chatbots, there are a lot of new opportunities to find innovative ways to tackle these challenges. The Mattermost Peer-to-Peer Forum is a good example of a community consisting primarily of developers.

Webinar: Engineering Productivity: Beyond the Metrics

In 2023 most engineering organizations have some way of measuring productivity. Metrics like story points and cycle time help us assess team-wide impact, while code coverage and commits tell us more about individual contributions. While we know these numbers don’t tell the whole story, we rarely hear about how to find the missing pieces. Or what to do next when we learn the culprit is poor testing practices versus bad design. What’s the plan for improvement? Where does it live, and who owns it?

Captain's Log: Diving into our scheduling design

Edge storage with MicroCeph

Data is everywhere, not just in large centralised data centres, but in smaller outposts, like retail outlets, remote or branch offices, filming locations and even cars. Use cases for edge storage include local processing, content collaboration that cannot take place with high network latency, and for ingest – where locally created content is captured, protected and then made available to other systems.
