Ansible is a configuration management tool that helps you automatically deploy, manage, and configure software on your hosts. By turning manual workflows into automated processes, you can quicken your deployment lifecycle and ensure that all hosts are equipped with the proper configurations and tools. The Datadog collection is now available in both Ansible Galaxy and Ansible Automation Hub.

This short tutorial demonstrates how you can work on data stored on your own infrastructure or in hybrid cloud CI/CD environments using CircleCI’s shared workspaces functionality — without having to configure VPNs, SSH tunnels, or other additional infrastructure.

As part of our product strategy to build for scale, security, and compliance, Bitbucket Cloud is continuing to invest in features that help enterprise teams operate at scale and build world-class software. In this blog, we'll share some of our recently shipped features and five exciting features we have lined up for you.

Version control is a system for tracking and managing changes to a software project over time. It provides a structured way to document modifications, ensuring that every alteration is recorded along with details such as who made the change and when it occurred. This history allows multiple team members to work on the same project without overwriting each other’s work and to easily revert to previous versions of the project when necessary.

JFrog’s IDE integrations such as IntelliJ and VS Code, allow developers to work with the JFrog Platform right from within their existing dev environment. By leveraging the advantages of JFrog’s features, developers can develop, build, and deploy applications quickly and securely. Large organizations working with the JFrog Platform, can now easily use a SSO (single-sign-on) login to authenticate access, directly from within IntelliJ IDEA and VS Code.

Effective user experience (UX) design is a key factor in creating compelling software products. UX considers the quality of interaction that users have with a product and takes the user’s point of view as the most sacred thing in software and product design. A great UX includes accessibility, which ensures that software is inclusive and usable by the widest possible audience.

In our previous article about Database migrations we explained why you should treat your databases with the same respect as your application source code. Database migrations should be fully automated and handled in a similar manner to applications (including history, rollbacks, traceability etc).

Since inception in 2008, JFrog has hosted its own development environments on-prem. While this approach worked well for a time, the increasing need to deploy faster, while sustaining high quality and reducing hosting costs made us realize that we needed to leverage the JFrog SaaS Production environment. So in 2022, we started an effort to migrate our RnD environments from an on-prem solution to JFrog SaaS Production.

Most modern infrastructure architectures are complex to deploy, involving many parts. Despite the benefits of automation, many teams still chose to configure their architecture manually, carried out by a deployment expert or, in some cases, teams of deployment engineers. Manual configurations open up the door for human error. While DevOps is very useful in developing and deploying software, using Git combined with CI/CD is useful beyond the world of software engineering.

Kubernetes has become the backbone of modern container orchestration, enabling seamless deployment and management of containerized applications. However, as applications grow in complexity, so do the challenges of managing their Kubernetes infrastructure. Enter cdk8s, a revolutionary toolset that transforms Kubernetes configuration into a developer-friendly experience.
