Our user community spoke and we listened. You asked for Xray to be even more universal and support more package types… in particular Go and PHP Composer. With Visual Studio Code (VSCode) now having more than 4.5 million monthly active users, we also added a new VSCode plugin for Xray. This broad adoption of multiple programming languages and package types across organizations, is driving up the need for a more universal DevSecOps solution supporting more package types.

At Codefresh we are all about collaboration and reusing existing standards instead of implementing proprietary solutions. A Codefresh pipeline is based on a series of Docker containers that act as individual steps. All Codefresh plugins are also just Docker images which means that extending a Codefresh pipeline is the same thing as writing a Dockerfile. Github has recently announced an integrated automation solution called Actions.

Cloudsmith provides first-class support for CircleCI with our official orb. Using the orb, users can easily integrate publishing to Cloudsmith with their existing CircleCI workflows.

Chef and Puppet are two popular tools for configuration management. These type of tools help engineers to maintain a consistent configuration in all servers. For instance, all servers might need to have IIS with a binding to port 443 for HTTPS access and the respective firewall rule for inbound traffic. More importantly, if anyone removes the firewall rule, these type of tools will keep consistency by creating the firewall rule again.

Software that treats the container as the first-class unit of infrastructure.

We recently sponsored our partner CloudBees’ conference DevOps World & JenkinsWorld in San Francisco and our message “Observe how Customers Experience Your Build” resonated well with the folks we met. Release engineers are critical to the continuous delivery cycle and knowing the right time to ship is important for internal business stakeholders but more importantly end-user customers and especially if it’s a significant release.

Palantir orbs, the Globe of Peace, Thief Raid, Trine, Prophecy Records, Ood Translators — the list of important orbs throughout history is quite long. However, the Honeybadger orb for CircleCI gives you deployment super powers. Do those other “important” orbs offer this feature? I didn’t think so!

An optimized DevOps process flow is vital for DevOps teams. It allows for seamless development and operations integration through the implementation of the CICD pipeline for development, deployment, and feedback.
