Companies are under immense pressure to get “good” at software development in order to quickly adapt to changing business needs and provide a better experience for their customers. At the core of being “good” at software is developer experience.

We’ve all been there. After countless hours of development, you’re ready to take that app that works awesome on “localhost” live to production, but production services will only interface over https. Or maybe, your DNS is managed on Cycle, but some third-party app you want under the same domain requires a TLS certificate.

Suppose you've built a web application and started getting a few customers. After some feedback and iterations, you are ready with a product that people want. From now, your application is drawing attention to more and more users, with more and more requests per minute (RPM). Suddenly, a wave of new people use your app, and at one point, they can't use it anymore. While testing your app, you realize that it's working correctly. So what happened? You are simply facing a scalability problem.

Five worthy reads is a regular column on five noteworthy items we’ve discovered while researching trending and timeless topics. In this edition, we’ll learn what hyperautomation is all about, why it is a growing trend, and much more. Illustrated by Derrick Deepak Roy Digital transformation has been accelerating at a pace so fast that organizations all over the globe are making frantic changes to their infrastructures to keep up.

CircleCI’s scheduled pipelines let you run pipelines at regular intervals; hourly, daily, or weekly. If you have used scheduled workflows, you will find that replacing them with scheduled pipelines gives you much more power, control, and flexibility. In this tutorial, I will guide you through how scheduled pipelines work, describe some of their cool use cases, and show you how to get started setting up scheduled pipelines for your team.

Kubernetes is changing the tech space as it becomes increasingly prominent across various industries and environments. Kubernetes can now be found in on-premise data centers, cloud environments, edge solutions, and even space. As a container orchestration system, Kubernetes automatically manages the availability and scalability of your containerized applications. Its architecture consists of various planes that make up what is known as a cluster.

Modern-day applications aim to cover a wide range of users’ needs in a flexible and scalable manner. The software development landscape is moving at a fast pace, and the competition is so fierce that a business simply can’t afford to offer a low-quality product. Thorough testing of both functional and non-functional aspects of a software application has become an essential step in the software development process. It ensures that users get the best version of your product.

A summary of the Log4j vulnerability, and key takeaways for SREs.

Data visualization is the process of translating large data sets and metrics into charts, graphs, and other visuals. The resulting visual representation of data makes it easier to identify and share real-time trends, outliers, and new insights about the information represented in the data. Using CircleCI webhooks, we can gather data on workflow and job events. In this tutorial, I will lead you through the steps to create a React-based dashboard to visualize this data.
