Bridging the ITIL vs DevOps Mindset: CI/CD Best Practices for ITIL Organizations

DevOps practices in software development have revolutionized the way updates are released. However, many companies entrenched in ITIL practices find it challenging to seamlessly integrate with the DevOps practice of Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery/Deployment (CI/CD). This is because ITIL focuses on stability, which suits older systems, while DevOps is ideal for modern setups with its agile, automated practices.

Re-Imagining Cloudsmith.io

When a headhunter reached out to me about the CEO role at Cloudsmith (where I started in August!), one of the first things I did was sign up for a trial account. The product's depth and sophistication really impressed me, and contributed to my decision to go ahead with the interviews. (Glad I did.) They were right; our web interface is still largely a Django web app, tightly coupled to the back end, and you can see the Bootstrap showing everywhere.

DORA myth debunked: You ARE ready for the metrics

DORA myth debunked: You ARE ready for the metrics. Even if your software development team doesn't deploy that frequently, you can still benefit from tracking DORA metrics, because they help teams focus on improving their software delivery performance. Give Sleuth a try and see how we give teams actionable insights on how to improve, no-code automations to instantly ship improvements, and metrics to measure their impact — all in a way that both managers and developers love.

Using Helm and Terraform for Codefresh Gitops Installations

Last year we launched the Codefresh delivery platform powered by Argo. After the initial launch we started collecting feedback from all companies that tried it (as well as existing customers) and cataloged all feature requests and implementation ideas. The main goal is always to iterate quickly and address the most common issues in the most efficient way possible.

Atlassian Intelligence features for Bitbucket Cloud are now in beta!

We're excited to announce that Atlassian Intelligence features are now in beta and are available to all workspace admins to activate in their workspace settings. Generative AI in the editor lets you generate, transform, and summarize content while you're writing Pull Request descriptions or comments in the Bitbucket Cloud code review experience.

Multi-Service Progressive Delivery with Argo Rollouts

In the previous article of the series, we explained how to use Configmap generators in order to use Progressive Delivery for your configuration (and not just the container images). In this post, we will also cover another popular question: how to use Argo Rollouts with multiple services. Argo Rollouts is a Kubernetes controller that allows you to perform advanced deployment methods in a Kubernetes cluster. By default, it only supports a single service/application.

Is this key finding from DORA Report 2023 holding back your team?

What's a key finding from the 2023 State of DevOps report? Nathen Harvey shared with us that teams' change review time is holding back their software delivery performance. You can use the DORA metrics to alleviate this bottleneck. Give Sleuth a try and see how we give teams actionable insights on how to improve, no-code automations to instantly ship improvements, and metrics to measure their impact — all in a way that both managers and developers love.

Testing a Spring Boot API with SpringBootTest and CircleCI

When it comes to building and delivering modern web applications, the importance of continuous integration cannot be overemphasized. With the rapid pace of software development, ensuring that every change in your codebase is thoroughly tested and seamlessly integrated into your project is essential for maintaining a robust and dependable application.

Better CI/CD with GitHub Actions and deployment tracking

Understanding the impact of each of your deployments is crucial, especially as they become increasingly frequent. Chances are, your team is either aiming to increase shipping velocity or has already started deploying "continuously" (which is to say, multiple times a day). The biggest tech teams at the likes of Amazon and Google deploy thousands of times daily, and Atlassian has found that 75% of enterprise DevOps teams call deployment frequency their most important success criteria. And while CD comes with a host of well-established benefits, it also introduces a heightened risk of introducing new errors and issues.
