The software bill of materials, often referred to as an SBoM or BOM, has gained a tremendous amount of popularity in the past year and a half. It’s mentioned in the US White House’s 14028 Executive Order and is referenced in innumerable secure software supply chain articles. While the SBoM has been around for many years, awareness and adoption seems to be hitting an inflection point.

Lineage to the saying “canary in a coal mine”, the canary deployment/release methodology is an incremental release focused on safety. If the canary does not pass, the deployment does not continue or is rolled back. Taking a jog down memory lane, like Kubernetes the Hard Way, a few years ago a canary deployment in Kubernetes was quite the undertaking.

While Heroku is ideal for startups because it provides tremendous simplicity and time-saving; Still, when your application starts growing and its architecture becomes complex, challenges related to DevOps, data security, and scalability begin to jump in. That’s where AWS takes over to overcome these limitations. In this article, we will walk you through exactly how to migrate your applications from Heroku to AWS in 5 simple steps with Qovery.

In this article, we will analyze some new features and the impact they might have on the Prometheus community. Here’s our editor’s pick.

Continuous integration has become a widely accepted practice for software projects. As more technologies are introduced in both continuous integration and software development, developers are looking for practical ways to benefit from them. Basic tutorials that cover toy examples are not always enough for real-life practitioners. As an actual user of Django, Docker, and CircleCI, this was certainly a pain point for me. That is why I wrote this tutorial.

A quick guide on the advantages of using Qovery as your preferred apps deployment platform—and how to build a faster AWS production-ready with it.

Cloud-native technologies allow you to more efficiently deploy your applications at the enterprise level. But the learning curve can be steep, and it may be confusing to figure out the world of cloud-native tech and establish how you’ll make your development workflow as efficient as possible. A working knowledge of DevOps technology is crucial to effectively start your deployment and creating a sustainable and manageable workflow.

Managing a Kubernetes cluster is a complex endeavor. As demands on a cluster grow, increasing the number of deployed pods can help ease the load on the system. But what do you do when you run out of nodes to host those pods, or when the load decreases and some nodes are no longer needed? Manually adding or removing nodes is possible, but wouldn’t it be better if there was a way to automate that task? Fortunately, that’s exactly what the Kubernetes Autoscaler charm is for!

Security can certainly be a broad brush topic. As a software engineer, you design and build to the best of your ability. In delivery methodologies of years gone by, sometimes security can be viewed as an afterthought e.g running security testing last before deploying. Today with the DevSecOps movement, one more set of concerns moves left towards the developer which is now security.
