The technology ecosystem is continually evolving but one truth remains, if there is a new and emerging coding language that captures the heart and minds of developers JFrog will be there. JFrog provides a DevOps Platform to store and secure its artifacts while engaging with the community and foundations that support developers using that language. We have a long history of working with Java, Python, C/C++ and more recently Go, Swift and Rust.

Code that an organization’s developers create is only the beginning of modern software development. In fact, first-party code is likely to be only a small proportion of an application – sometimes as little as 10% of the application’s artifact ecosystem. An enterprise’s software supply chain is made of many parts, from many sources: open source packages, commercial software, infrastructure-as-code (IaC) files, and more.

Many platforms offer free hosting services for React and other JavaScript frameworks. These frameworks can be used for building single-page applications, which is handy when you need to launch a minimum viable product or a quick proof of concept. Your fellow developers are taking advantage of these tools, and you can too. To narrow down options, I will focus on Firebase in this tutorial.

Developers commonly integrate the code and these frequent modifications in a central repository as part of the software development method is known as continuous integration (CI). Improved software quality, faster quality audit and bug fixes, and quick validation and release cycles are all major goals of continuous integration. Continuous Delivery (CD), which builds on top of Continuous Integration(CI), includes automating both builds and the complete software release process.

As of 2021, roughly 5.7 million mobile apps are available in app stores — 2.2 million for iOS and 3.48 million for Android users. Given the massive numbers, customers have a wide variety of choices. With such a high number of apps available, customer satisfaction is paramount, which means avoiding customer churn and retaining users.

If you’re reading this blog you’re probably at least somewhat familiar with Hashicorp Terraform and the value it brings to managing the deployment and provisioning of infrastructure resources at scale. We’re big fans and users of it ourselves here at JFrog (see how in our recent webinar!).

CircleCI is popular among Android developers for several reasons: it’s quick to get started, fast to execute your builds with high parallelism, (whether native, cross- or multi-platform), and even supports running Android emulators right from CircleCI with our Android machine images. This article will show you how to build and test Android applications for an example project on the CircleCI platform.
