Automating database cleanup with scheduled pipelines

RESTful API projects often require that developers grant temporary access to a particular resource. Sometimes this happens within a specific interval, such as a few days or months. Revoking permissions when they expire could mean including extra logic during the authentication process or writing a middleware function to attach to the secured endpoint. Or, this logic could be abstracted to a separate part and configured to check and manage permissions at a regular interval.

Technical debt: how to measure and manage it with DevOps

Every technical team in the software industry is familiar with technical debt. That is because every software team incurs technical debt along the way. This article answers some critical questions about technical debt. It reviews what technical debt is and what its causes are, why it is essential to address technical debt, and how this debt accumulates.

Advanced pipeline orchestration with the circleback pattern

With multiple teams working on many projects, having a single pipeline for your software is just not enough. These projects need to be built and integrated before they can be tested and released. So how do dev teams handle this situation? Many teams approach the problem by breaking down software into smaller parts that do less, and are easier to maintain and build. This approach has resulted in the microservices architectures that are increasingly common in our industry.

Deploying a React application to Netlify

React, a front-end framework for building user interfaces, uses component-based architecture and non-opinionated design principles, making it a developer favorite. React has been widely adopted and has a large community of developers behind it. Netlify is a popular framework for hosting React applications, but it does not provide your team with the highest level of control over the deployment process. As a result, you are not able to perform important tasks like running automated tests.

Customizing the JFrog Xray Horizontal Pod Autoscaler

In cloud native computing (Kubernetes in our case), there is a requirement to automatically scale the compute resources used for performing a task. The autoscaling cloud computer strategy allows to dynamically adjust the active number of application servers and allocated resources instead of responding manually in real-time to traffic surges that necessitate more resources and instances.

Getting Started With GitOps and Argo CD

Today we are going to explore getting started using Argo CD. This post is going to assume you know a bit about containers, and that you already have an empty cluster in place (or know how to create one). If any of this is unfamiliar, head over to Understanding the Basics to get a bit of practice. Before we get started, let’s talk about GitOps.

How to set up a Private, Remote and Virtual Go Registry

The simplest way to manage and organize your Go dependencies is with a Go Repository. You need reliable, secure, consistent and efficient access to your dependencies that are shared across your team, in a central location. Including a place to set up multiple registries, that work transparently with the Go client. With the JFrog free cloud subscription, including JFrog Artifactory, Xray and Pipelines, you can set up a free local, remote and virtual Go Registry in minutes.
