Many software developers build their product on Upsun. You can take several approaches, some of which are very straightforward. For instance, you can become a member of our Agency Partner Program. Or you can take advantage of our White-label offering to deliver a fully functional, fully-featured Upsun PaaS, branded with your organization’s logo. But if your business model doesn’t fit into either of the above scenarios, let’s explore some other options that might work for you.

Data center managers often struggle to accurately track and manage their data center parts inventory. Legacy management tools like Excel spreadsheets are commonly used, but they fail to support the complexity and distributed nature of modern data center environments. They are hard to use, difficult to maintain, time-consuming, and error-prone.

Every company is a software company and every company wants to get better at it. That’s the reason we built Software Development Optimization or SDO. SDO helps you track siloed data across the DevOps toolchain. It normalizes and correlates data, provides you with DORA’s 4 key metrics and gives you deep insights into the velocity and quality of delivery across services and teams.

The JFrog Security research team continuously monitors popular open source software (OSS) repositories with our automated tooling to report vulnerable and malicious packages to repository maintainers. Earlier this year we disclosed several malicious packages targeting developers’ private data that were downloaded approximately 30K times. Today, we will share details about 11 new malware packages that we’ve recently discovered and disclosed to the PyPI maintainers (who promptly removed them).

As developers, we’re passionate about creating and delivering high-quality software to our end-users and customers. Simply knowing that our software was shipped, deployed, and is being used is a great achievement. And it looks like we did a good job. Everything around us in our lives depends on high-quality software. Software needs to run for us to get water, energy, electricity, transportation, food, etc. Developers have a huge responsibility to keep this software updated and running efficiently.

Fast build times are great, which is why we aim for less than 5m between merging a PR and getting it into production. Not only is waiting on builds a waste of developer time — and an annoying concentration breaker — the speed at which you can deploy new changes has an impact on your shipping velocity. Put simply, you can ship faster and with more confidence when deploying a follow-up fix is a simple, quick change.

AIOps is an approach to managing the exponential growth of IT operations and the complexity of new technology through the application of artificial intelligence (AI). IT infrastructure increasingly relies on complicated deployments, multi-cloud architectures, and huge amounts of data. Traditionally, the tech industry responds to complexity by applying extra brainpower to the problem, bringing in more engineers, developers, and management.
