We work best by coming together. That’s why we built the JFrog DevOps Platform, bringing together our set of solutions to operate as a single, unified user experience. That unity powered by Artifactory 7 helps bring total understanding and control of your software build pipelines. To keep it running, you also need a unified, real-time view of the entire platform’s operation.
The summary: Cloudsmith provides a way for vendors to sell, license and distribute software as packages. To any customer, anywhere in the world, across a reliable and performant infrastructure, and handling all licensing and invoicing / billing challenges. As most of the readership of this blog will know, a huge proportion of the software developed around the world is dependent upon the third-party packages and libraries we integrate into our projects.
A friend that can’t keep a secret isn’t one you’ll rely on. The same is true for your mission critical CI/CD tool that you have to entrust with credentials for each integrated component. Keeping your secrets safe can be a challenge for CI/CD tools, since they need to connect to such a variety of other services. Each one needs its own password or token that must be kept hidden from prying eyes.
The code we develop ends up being packaged into artifacts that are consumed as dependencies during the development of other software components. We rely on an artifact repository manager, like JFrog Artifactory, to resolve the complex challenges that come with consuming and developing all of these artifacts. Artifactory serves as the foundation for managing binaries in so many organizations, both large and small, as part of an effective CI/CD pipeline.
DevOps can successfully remove the bottlenecks created by waterfall methodology by improving development productivity through encouraging collaboration,continuous feedback loops, and automating processes. Collaboration. Feedback. Automation. These are the main building blocks of DevOps operations. However, not all DevOps implementations are successful. Why? Building blocks are not enough. You need to take these building blocks and design a DevOps pipeline that suits your needs.
How do you know if the changes that you’re making to your microservices are having the desired impact to your end-users? What happens after a deploy? Did your app’s performance remain the same? Were any bugs introduced? Do you need to roll back? With Codefresh and Lightstep, you’re able to more quickly, more accurately, and more easily ensure that any commit and build results in a better experience for your end-users.
Go Module vulnerabilities frustrate the lives of many Go developers and can turn a simple project into a battle of endurance between the dev and their patience. With the process of CI/CD shifting left more and more, it’s becoming even more pertinent for developers to be able to track and report vulnerabilities as early as possible. JFrog GoCenter can help track and mitigate vulnerabilities and make the lives of Go developers easier.
JFrog was honored to be recently interviewed by NYSE Floor Talk regarding the company’s efforts during the COVID-19 crisis. The quick video was shot at a safe social distance of course, but focused on JFrog’s FrogCare program. The program provides free software development and DevOps tools to accelerate delivery for research organizations that are supporting the fight against the novel coronavirus.
As a software producer, you need to keep releases moving, even as you need to move your technology ahead. Transitioning your Jenkins continuous integration (CI) pipelines to a newer, optimized system can’t be a roadblock, and your enterprise can’t afford the work stoppage a rip-and-replace rework would require. We understood that deeply when we built our CI/CD solution, JFrog Pipelines.
JFrog CLI now supports autocomplete for both bash and zsh, allowing you to get your work done faster. With this functionality, you can now simply start typing your Bash and zsh commands and the CLI client will provide you with possible options to use. You can scroll through the options using tab. JFrog CLI helps simplify your automation work with the JFrog solutions. For example, using CLI with JFrog Distribution workflows to manage your software releases in a centralized platform.
