Improve Observability in Your CI/CD Pipeline

Nov 11, 2025 By Janani In Atatus

The backbone of modern software development is automation and at the heart of that lies the CI/CD pipeline. It’s what turns code into deployable software, delivering changes to users faster, safer, and more predictably. In simple terms, a CI/CD pipeline automates everything from the moment developers push code to when it reaches production. It integrates, tests, builds, and deploys software continuously ensuring faster releases with fewer human errors.

API testing with Playwright

Nov 7, 2025 By Waweru Mwaura In CircleCI

The Playwright framework is known for its UI testing features, but it also has robust tools for testing API capabilities. Playwright API testing tools allow you to build faster and more reliable end-to-end tests. Because you can combine both the UI and API tests into one test suite, your testing efforts become more efficient.

You're Late to the OpenTofu Party. Here's Why That's a Problem.

Nov 6, 2025 By Richard Black In Harness

OpenTofu has emerged as the true open successor to Terraform, restoring transparency and community ownership after Terraform’s shift to a restrictive BSL license. With features like OCI registries, encryption at rest, and a public RFC process, it’s already outpacing Terraform’s innovation.

Deploying a SolidStart app to Vercel with CircleCI

Nov 6, 2025 By Marcelo Oliveira In CircleCI

Deploying web apps can feel overwhelming. Multiple moving parts, including frameworks, hosting, databases, and automation tools make having a smooth, automated workflow seem impossible. But having an automated workflow is worth the effort; you can focus on building features and improving your app instead of worrying about manual deployments or server management.

Manage your Pipelines usage with the new billing panel

Oct 30, 2025 By Ash Moosa In Atlassian

Until recently, the Pipelines Billing Panel has only displayed the total pipeline minutes used across your workspace. You didn’t have visibility into how usage was distributed across your repositories. We’ve now enhanced the billing panel to show you build minute usage by repository for the current and previous billing periods so you can identify and manage high-usage repositories.

Enforce type safety with TypeScript checks before deployments

Oct 30, 2025 By John Abraham In CircleCI

TypeScript introduces the benefits of static typing to JavaScript, allowing developers to identify bugs at an earlier stage. However, relying solely on developers to run type checks locally isn’t enough. Without tsc being called, a person can just leave the invalid code and it may pass to production. This tutorial will show you how to set up CircleCI to automatically run the TypeScript type checks on each push.

Validate CDC data in your CI/CD pipeline using CircleCI

Oct 27, 2025 By Kevin Kimani In CircleCI

Change Data Capture (CDC) is a technique used to identify and capture changes, such as inserts, updates, and deletes, in a source database so they can be replicated to another system in real-time. This approach is crucial in modern data pipelines, especially for powering data lakes, analytics platforms, and event-driven applications that depend on up-to-date information. Setting up a CDC pipeline is only the first step.
