Chrome revolutionized the way to extend browsers with new features. Back in the day, extensions were annoying toolbars (remember the Ask toolbar?) and related spam-like additions. Today, I couldn't live without extensions. Here's a list of our favorite extensions used while developing elmah.io. Let's jump right into the extensions. All extensions are sorted alphabetically so make sure to go through the entire list for the best extensions for Chrome (and mostly Edge too).

Halloween is just around the corner, and while you can find plenty of scary movies, stories and spooky costumes, nothing can beat a good Developer nightmare, especially if the nightmare becomes a reality! Today, our Developer team will share with you the worst thing that happened to them in their career and trust me, some of them are painful to read. Grab a hot beverage, sit next to the fire and let us begin 🎃

Suppose you asked developers in the mid-2000s how they managed and compiled their binaries. You’d probably hear some anxiety-inducing answers (e.g., storing packages in git repositories or insecure file stores). Thankfully, organizations currently have various options for managing their first or third-party packages, dependencies, and containers.

We have released another update for Enterprise Alert 9 (version 9.4) which enhances the cloud bridge and MS Teams integrations. This will help you to setup scenarios where you wish to active your Enterprise Alert remote actions from with the Signl4 app as well as allowing for using a proxy to configure the MS Teams integration. Read all details in this article.

The spine is essential to perform every activity, like crawling, walking, or swimming. Just as the spine is necessary to enable these functions, your Kubernetes infrastructure needs a backbone to be efficient and effective. So if Kubernetes clusters act as the spine of your architecture, then Kubernetes nodes are like the vertebrae — they make up a Kubernetes cluster in the same way the vertebrae form the spinal column.

To make the developer experience as smooth as possible, we are simplifying the onboarding process. Howso? By making the Upsun configuration files optional (zero configuration!). Due to popular demands, we’re also giving you a simple way to control custom DNS entries directly in the YAML configuration files (see below). Previously, if you started from one of our many ready-to-use templates, those YAML files were automatically included.

Developers need all the information they can get on APIs to get them to work in alignment with their vision. There is no dearth of knowledge in the software development industry today, but only when that knowledge is documented well is it of use to others. In the context of APIs, developer portals offer an effective way to document and communicate relevant information. In this article, we answer the following questions about developer API portals.

Leaving software unpatched is one of the most basic, unforced errors an executive can make, but companies large and small keep learning this the hard way. Keeping software up-to-date is harder than it seems, so even when execs are aware of the importance of patching, the sheer volume of needed fixes and the high error rate mean that not every company stays protected.

At this point, we all know that reporting is an essential part of ITSM. It helps us to have clear information about the performance of the service desk and the support team and thus make better decisions. ITSM reporting tools consist of dashboards and reports, and though it might seem great to have only two, this often poses a question: when should I use each one? If you find yourself having a hard time deciding, this article is perfect for you! We’re about to oppose dashboards vs.

This post is authored by Marco Morales, Partner Solutions Architect, and Sarah Conway, Director of Partner Marketing, at Snyk. We're excited to announce a new Snyk App for Bitbucket Cloud. Snyk first announced this integration in June 2021, which brings Snyk scan results into the Bitbucket Cloud environment so you can identify vulnerabilities as they emerge, right next to the code in your everyday workflow.
