Software development, the adoption of DevOps practices has become imperative for teams aiming to streamline workflows, boost collaboration, and deliver high-quality products efficiently. At the heart of successful DevOps implementation lies a robust toolchain—a set of interconnected tools and technologies designed to automate, monitor, and manage the software development lifecycle.

Your applications are only as powerful as they are iterable. To keep up with their rapidly changing production environments, your teams need reliable CI/CD systems that implement best practices—including build and test automation, flaky test management, and deployment management. By optimizing their CI/CD pipelines, your teams can build their apps more efficiently, deploy them more safely, and catch bugs and security vulnerabilities before they make it to production.

Kubernetes (also known as k8s or “kube”) is an open source container orchestration platform that automates many of the manual processes involved in deploying, managing, and scaling containerized applications.

As the "new guy" here at Cloudsmith (I was named CEO in August), I'm learning more every day about how customers use us to protect their software supply chains. We're doing everything we can to give you a single source of truth for every artifact - whether it's an open source package, a Docker container, a Linux image - that enters your software supply chain, and everything that you produce on the other side.
