In this DevOps 101 series, I introduce the concept of DevOps and talk about how you can include the database as a natural partner. In the previous post in the series, I discussed how automation introduces faster and more frequent deployments as a key benefit. We’re now going to take a deep dive into the value you can unlock through frequent deployments using database DevOps, along with how you get started doing them.

We've all done it: "that'll be simple, I'll just write a quick script and..." In the case of calculating on-call pay, we really have done it before: our team have built the on-call pay scripts for several companies, and each attempt was a painful, error prone process. While we believe everyone on-call should be paid for their inconvenience, relying on someones side-project or back-of-napkin maths to calculate pay leads to mistakes, frustration, and wasted time.

The last few years have brought immense change in telco technology adoption trends, with the introduction of 5G, artificial intelligence (AI), the internet of things (IoT), cloud computing, and mobile edge computing.

With the growing complexity of IT environments, it is essential to have robust security processes that can safeguard IT environments from cyber threats. In this blog, we will explore how security operation centers (SOCs), help you monitor, identify and prevent cyber threats to safeguard your IT environments. This blog covers the following pointers.

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.

Managing gas bills has a lot in common with managing cloud spend. In the summer, our gas bill increased with our summer adventures. Sitting home with the kids out of school and the warm summer months was not an option. Likewise, while discounts on gas certainly help, in reality they do not put much of a dent in the overall bill. The cheapest gallon of gas is still the one not used. If you’re a modern cloud-native business, you can’t just stop using the cloud.

A prelude to our upcoming six-part Observability Maturity Model Fundamentals blog series. By Lodewijk Bogaards At StackState, we have spent eight years in the monitoring and observability spaces. During this time, we have spoken with countless DevOps engineers, architects, SREs, heads of IT operations and CTOs, and we have heard the same struggles over and over.

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.
