Keep OSS supply chain attacks off the menu: Tidelift catalogs + JFrog serve known-good components

How does your organization keep track of all of the open source components being used to develop applications and ensure they are secure and properly maintained? Our recent survey data shows that the larger an organization gets, the less confident they are in in their open source management practices. In companies over 10,000 employees, 39% are not very or not at all confident their open source components are secure, up to date, and well maintained.

Continuous deployment for Azure functions

Serverless computing, a model in which the provider manages the server, lets developers focus on writing dedicated pieces of application logic. Serverless computing has been adopted by many development teams because it auto-scales. Auto-scaling relieves developers of allocation management tasks, so they do not need to worry about the allocation of server resources or being charged for resources they are not consuming.

Turbocharging your Android Gradle builds using the build cache

The Gradle Build Cache is designed to help you save time by reusing outputs produced by previous builds. It works by storing (locally or remotely) build outputs, and allowing builds to fetch these outputs from the cache when it determines that inputs have not changed. The build cache gives you the ability to avoid the redundant work and cost of regenerating time-consuming and expensive processes.

Troubleshooting Kubernetes Clusters as a Developer with Komodor

The container ecosystem is moving very fast and new tools designed specifically for Kubernetes clusters are introduced at a very fast pace. Even though several times a new tool is simply implementing a well-known mechanism (already present in the VM world) with a focus on containers, every once in a while we see tools that are designed from scratch rather than adapting a preexisting idea. One such tool is Komodor.

Continuous delivery with Ketch, GitHub Actions, and k3d

Can we combine the simplicity of deploying applications with Ketch with GitHub Actions and accomplish a fully automated continuous delivery pipeline? Here's what we'll do. We'll create GitHub Actions that will fully automate all the tasks starting from creating a pull request all the way until a release is deployed to production.

Continuous deployment of Node.js to Azure VM

Virtual machines (VM) offer great flexibility for hosting web applications. A developer/engineer is able to configure and control every piece of software and every setting that the application needs to run. Azure, one of the largest cloud hosting platforms, has virtual machine offerings for both Linux and Windows-based operating systems. In this tutorial, you will learn how to set up a continuous deployment pipeline to deploy a Node.js application to an Azure virtual machine.
