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.

When working on the new Federated Reporting feature for CFEngine we had to solve the problem of collecting data from multiple CFEngine hubs (feeders) on a single hub (superhub). CFEngine hubs are using PostgreSQL to store data, so, more specifically, the problem was how to collect data from multiple PostgreSQL databases in one PostgreSQL database.

Modern technology organizations are required to be adaptive in their approach to incident management. A single project will have multiple teams working as different branches on integrated systems. Even if all the members have unified communication channels when an interruption occurs in the service there’s bound to be chaos. The frontline response team will have to be on their toes to get to the root issues at the first signs of trouble.
