For the past three years, I have been running and facilitating a community where folks from all levels and departments at CircleCI can come together to discuss diverse topics. We call it “Let’s Talk Engineering.” Some of the topics we’ve covered have been technical in nature, while others have focused more on leadership: how different teams operate, personal growth, and writing to name a few. Let’s Talk Engineering celebrates interdisciplinarity and multidisciplinarity.

As open-source software evolves and grows, it’s important that organizations, both large and small, can scale to keep up with their end user’s needs. At Codefresh, we are announcing a new release of our platform, Codefresh Software Delivery Platform, powered by Argo (CSDP) which delivers a scalable deployment management platform with Argo. Some of the major new features include the following support: These are some of the major new features in Codefresh’s new platform.

One of the major components of the Codefresh Software Delivery Platform is the Workflows capability that allows you to define any kind of software process for creating artifacts, running unit tests, running security scans, and all other actions that are typically used in Continuous Integration (CI). At first glance, Codefresh Workflows might look like the typical pipelines that you would find in any popular CI product but if you look under the hood you will realize looks can be deceiving.

Delivering new software is the single most important function of businesses trying to compete today. Many companies get stuck with flaky scripting, manual interventions, complex processes, and large unreliable tool stacks across diverse infrastructure. Software teams are left scrambling to understand their software supply chain and discover the root cause of failures. It’s time for a new approach.

Today, we’re announcing that one of our most popular feature requests, IP ranges, is now generally available for CircleCI Cloud customers. This feature enables teams to meet compliance requirements by limiting the connections that communicate with their infrastructure. No company wants to give the entire internet access to their artifact repositories or other sensitive environments. With IP ranges, teams are able to open up their IP-based firewalls to only CircleCI.

At Cloudsmith, our core mission is to be THE universal package repository. That is why we support so many different packages, artifacts, and image formats and constantly improve the functionality and support we provide. With this in mind, we are happy to announce the latest improvements to our support for Dart packages.

Continuous integration (CI) has become the mainstream approach to software development as it enables organizations to iterate quickly while minimizing the risk of releasing faulty code. To implement CI, many organizations rely on Jenkins—one of the most mature and widely used automation servers on the market. Jenkins comes with hundreds of community-backed plugins to help you easily integrate it with other tools in your development workflow.
