As web applications become more complex, software engineering teams must rely on many different products and services to create the best developer experience. The application development ecosystem has grown beyond version control and hosting deployment. Manually managing the deployment of new features across all services can create a serious bottleneck in the software development lifecycle. It also introduces the risk of human error.

The team at GitKraken is thrilled to announce a brand new, free extension for Git Integration for Jira, the top-rated tool on the Atlassian Marketplace for using Git with Jira. Now, users can enhance their Jira DevOps workflow with build and deployment data directly in Jira Cloud. The CI/CD for Jira extension will allow teams to seamlessly connect data from their CI/CD pipeline with Jira Cloud.

It’s no secret that CI/CD pipelines make the lives of engineering and operations easier by accelerating the feedback loop for higher quality code and apps. They build code, run tests, and safely deploy new versions of your application. But just like any aspect of development, poor integration, invisible bottlenecks, and bugs can plague your pipelines. And debugging them? Well, it’s complicated.

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.
