DockerHub vs Cloudsmith Private Docker Registry

We’re a little late to the party. Fashionably late. By now the world knows that DockerHub has removed the free, untraceable goodness of anonymous pulls. How dare they? How dare they build a revolutionary technology, open-source it and give it away for free at a substantial cost to themselves. It’s worth calculating what a couple of petabytes of CloudFront bandwidth would cost, even with a substantial discount. It’s mind-blowing.

JFrog Support Providing Next Level Artificial Intelligence (AI) Experience

Let me share with you my story about finding the right AI Solution to improve our support self service. The starting point of my journey was pretty common, many will read this and think “Yes! I suffer the same pain”. At JFrog we produce tons of relevant and clever documentation. It’s all out there, available. And yet, we struggle to get to the right piece of information when looking for something specific.

Lightrun & JFrog - Achieving Complete Agility With Continuous Debugging And Continuous Observability

CI/CD has become the de facto standard for infusing the software development process with hardcoded agility. Organizations are now integrating DevOps concepts and practices into their workflows in order to get great features out of the door faster and reduce internal friction. But your ability to understand what’s going on in a production service is pre-defined by the logs, metrics and traces (i.e. the three pillars of observability) your developers pre-defined during development. There is, however, a need for agility even after the service is live - in order to adhere to strict SLAs, decrease MTTR and save on logging costs.

Steer OCI to Kubernetes with Artifactory and Helm 3

With the latest release of JFrog Artifactory, your Kubernetes world just got a lot bigger. Artifactory’s Docker registries are now compliant with the Open Container Initiative (OCI). Repository support for images compatible with OCI and support for the Helm 3 client mean you can run K8s with a high degree of versatility. Once you’re no longer locked exclusively into Docker, you can run either part of your container ecosystem or all of it using any OCI-compatible client.

Scale Your Devops With High Availability And Replication

NeuVector & JFrog - Integrating Container Security To Accelerate Your CI CD Pipeline

Container security must shift both left and right to protect environments across the full application lifecycle – from the beginning of development through production. In this webinar, we will discuss how the integration of JFrog Xray and NeuVector can provide you with the best Container protection while improving productivity.

Bitbucket Cloud's new code review experience is now available

We are excited to bring you our new and improved pull request experience. The entire Bitbucket engineering team has been enjoying the experience and are looking forward to you trying it. In the coming weeks, we'll begin to enroll more people into the new experience with the option to switch back to the old view if needed.

Expand your Sleuth monitoring reach with Datadog

One of our most commonly requested integrations, Datadog cloud monitoring, was announced last week on the Datadog blog! Sleuth organizes your deployments into projects, which collect and organize key data from your code sources and their associated staging environments. This data consists of metrics and errors.

What is CI/CD?

CI/CD is a software development strategy which allows for faster development by introducing automation while still maintaining the quality of code deployed to production. Implementing a CI/CD pipeline not only promotes a safer deployment process but also improves the incident response process. CI/CD is broken down into multiple parts. The CI refers to continuous integration, meanwhile, the CD can refer to continuous delivery and/or continuous deployment.
