While early versions of Go lacked a package manager, they've made up for lost time. In this article, Ayooluwa Isaiah introduces us to go's module ecosystem to help us decide if go is "a go" for our next project.

Announcing Codefresh Runner: a foolproof, easy way to run pipelines on your own Kubernetes clusters.

Running and maintaining CI/CD infrastructure has long been a headache for engineering teams which has led to the popularity of SAAS solutions like Codefresh cloud. But for many, this doesn’t meet their strict security requirements or allow them to access on-prem code, artifacts, or other resources.

Achieving AWS DevOps Competency Status (and What it Means for You)

Chaos Engineering was conceived as a direct response to the complexity and nondeterministic nature of cloud-based applications. Thoughtful fault injection closes the gap between traditional testing methodologies and modern approaches to software engineering like microservices, continuous delivery, and DevOps.
