Rust is a powerful language built on the promise of performance and reliability. With no runtime or garbage collector, it easily runs in any environment and can be integrated into any existing language or framework. With the advent of WebAssembly . Rust has become even more valued in the web development space. Rust’s seamless peering with Node.js to build highly performant functionalities has made it a delight for web developers.

Last year, GitHub announced the release of their new CLI tool . The new gh CLI wraps around the standard git cli and offers a suite of additional GitHub.com specific commands. These new commands include the ability to create a new pull request and to create a release directly from your terminal. We here on the CircleCI Community and Partner Engineering team at CircleCI use the gh pr checkout command all the time to safely test pull requests from the community (you!) on our various orbs .

Shifting left security means you, the developer, catching and fixing vulnerabilities and license violations early in the SDLC. That’s why Xray scans binaries pushed to Artifactory by your builds, and alerts you when there are issues with your dependencies. But catching them earlier, even before checking in code, can be important for developers shifting left.

For five years running, Rust has taken the top spot in Stackoverflow’s survey of most loved programming languages. Seen by many as the next step after C/C++, the language is fast becoming embraced by embedded device developers and as a robust system for IoT. At JFrog, we took notice and are eager to welcome Rust developers to the empowerment of robust binaries management and how it contributes to continuous integration.

Software package repositories are becoming a popular target for supply chain attacks. Recently, there has been news about malware attacks on popular repositories like npm, PyPI, and RubyGems. Developers are blindly trusting repositories and installing packages from these sources, assuming they are secure.

Continuous Packaging (CP) is a term that we use a lot at Cloudsmith, and it is one that we think will become a cornerstone in a secure software development process.

Being a software developer is an amazing job with a growing job field ensuring there is great security and need in the market. But, with a great job that is highly skilled comes the demand of having a high understanding of the tools and languages needed to properly develop software efficiently.

JFrog customers will soon enjoy end-to-end, holistic security across their software lifecycle — from development to devices — as the technology of recently-acquired Vdoo gets integrated into the JFrog DevOps Platform. That was the pledge made by JFrog and Vdoo leaders during their first joint webinar, in which they explained why JFrog acquired Vdoo, how the platform’s security and compliance capabilities will expand, and what’s the integration timeline.
