Developers are building features at an unprecedented speed using what they need from the software ecosystem. These ever-expanding options include open-source libraries and packages, SaaS tools, deployment systems, cloud services, and more. To keep things secure, we always need the same thing: a secret.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to build a custom ASP.NET Core container with Docker and host the container image on Azure Container Registry, a platform owned by Microsoft that allows you to build, store, and manage container images in a private registry. At the end of this tutorial, you will be able to apply the knowledge gained here to link your container image on the Microsoft Azure registry with a web app service and launch your application.
In just a decade, smartphones have become ubiquitous. They facilitate communication via texting and calling, provide entertainment, enable administration, and offer utilities for their users in the form of applications. Users access these mobile applications through their app store, whether it is Apple’s App Store or the Google Play Store. Developers construct them with the smartphone’s operating system in mind. The two mainstream operating systems that are targeted are Android and iOS.
The CircleCI visual config editor (VCE) is now generally available as an open source project. Development teams can now create and modify CircleCI config files in a visual drag-and-drop, low-code environment. The VCE is a node-graph editor that you can use to modify CircleCI config elements and generate config files. It provides a frictionless way to build CI/CD pipelines and interact with CircleCI’s platform in an efficient, user-friendly visual interface.
This is the second tutorial in a two-part series. You can also learn how to automate AWS Lambda function deployments to AWS CDK.
This is one of a two-part series. You can also learn how to automate the deployment of FeathersJS apps to Heroku. In the software development lifecycle, testing offers benefits that reach far beyond the code itself. Testing assures all parties (developers, clients, project managers, etc) that, while the application may not be completely bug-free, it does what is expected, as expected.
Testing is a vital part of the mobile app development process. Your team can use testing to evaluate the quality, security, and reliability of mobile apps before releasing them to your users. Users who expect their applications to be highly performant and intuitive. There are two ways DevOps teams can perform testing for mobile apps: on-premise (also called self-hosted) or in the cloud. But which of these is the best option for your team?
When you build a cloud-based application, you can choose to deploy the resources using the GUI (Graphical User Interface) or CLI (Command Line Interface) provided by the cloud provider. This approach can work well with just a handful of resources, but as the complexity of your application increases, it can become difficult to manage the infrastructure manually.
When creating an application, developers often rely on many different tools, programs, and people. This collection of agents and actors involved in the software development lifecycle (SDLC) is called the software supply chain. The software supply chain refers to anything that touches or influences applications during development, production, and deployment — including developers, dependencies, network interfaces, and DevOps practices.
Web and browser technology continues to advance, narrowing the gap between the performance of web and native applications. Features that were once exclusive to native applications can be implemented in web applications. This is due in part to the emergence of progressive web applications (PWAs). Web applications can now be installed, receive push notifications, and even work offline.
