Ownership isn’t for everyone — building and maintaining an abode is a lot of trouble when all you need is a place to hang your hat. That can also be true when you’re a creator of Helm charts. You’ll certainly want the benefits of a Helm chart repository to store, version, and share your charts for deploying applications to Kubernetes.

By industrializing software delivery, DevOps has the potential to transform IT in the same way that Henry Ford transformed manufacturing Back in 1913, Henry Ford started a manufacturing revolution. On December 1, the first automotive assembly line heralded the advent of mass production and reduced the time required to build a Model T to only 2 ½ hours. That allowed Ford to slash manufacturing costs as well as the price of his iconic automobile.

Big features make headlines, but they can be a challenge to deploy without staying dedicated to the finish line. Even the best laid projects can fall victim to time creep as more features are added and the idea gets refined. What’s on paper looks great!

One of the most critical activities for a developer is reviewing code. Code review helps developers fix bugs before shipping, learn about the codebase, and pass along a team’s values to new (and longstanding) developers. To double down on these benefits, we’re releasing a new tool to facilitate communication between pull request reviewers and authors: PR Reviewer Status. Until now, Bitbucket has only had one reviewer status: Approved.

Research firm IDC has recently published an infographic (check it out below!) outlining the new requirements for modern software distribution and key guidance for organizations to meet future needs and overcome the bottlenecks in the next era of large-scale application delivery. With the advent of DevOps and modern delivery practices, organizations are becoming better at rapidly developing and deploying new applications to better serve their customers and stay competitive in today’s digital age.

DigitalOcean has just announced the DigitalOcean Container Registry, which is directly integrated into the DigitalOcean Dashboard. While you can use any Container Registry in your DigitalOcean resources, the goal of the Container Registry is to provide for easy connection between the Container Registry and DigitalOcean Kubernetes resources.

If you’re using the JFrog DevOps Platform to manage your software artifacts, then there’s a good chance that one of the clients you’re already using is JFrog CLI. JFrog CLI is a robust tool, which enhances and extends the capabilities of the JFrog Platform, by connecting it to your build and automation agents.

Progressive delivery is arguably the most reliable and advanced set of deployment practices based on a simple idea. Instead of shutting down the old release and deploying a new one in its place, progressive delivery takes an iterative approach. It gradually increases the reach of a new release. That gives us quite a few benefits like zero-downtime deployments, reduced blast radius, increased security, and so on and so forth. I will not go into depth about what progressive delivery is.

Figma is a web-based graphic editor and prototyping tool that is commonly used for UI design. Independent of the size of your organization, it is considered good practice to use design components. This post provides a case study on how we utilize Figma components to manage different states in the Codefresh UI. Note that this blog post was written before the release of variants and the new auto-layout features. We will update the blog after we update our style guide with these new amazing features.

Earlier this year, we launched ChartCenter, our newest community platform to help Kubernetes developers find Helm charts. This new free Helm central repository was built with chart immutability  in mind— meaning every version of a Helm chart and every version in ChartCenter will always be available even if the original source goes down.
