Cloud CI Project

Puppet supports a lot of platforms, including some that aren't well represented in the cloud world, like AIX or Solaris. To cover all these platforms, much of our module testing happened on an internal Jenkins server and our in-house vmpooler infrastructure. This worked pretty well, but had the unfortunate side effect that PRs from community contributors would often get rejected by an opaque process that didn't even tell them what tests failed!

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.
