Imagine this: you're in the middle of an important presentation when all of a sudden your video feed starts to stutter. You hear other people speaking, but their words are choppy. A message comes through Slack from one of your co-workers: "I think your connection cut out."

Software companies face more challenges than ever before to keep pace in an ever-evolving industry that requires innovation and reliability. The pressure to adapt to fast-moving and sophisticated technologies can easily create silos amongst teams and a lack of visibility within organizations. With legacy technology stacks and systems now in the rearview mirror, the focus of large-scale software development has shifted to ensuring standardization and distributed computing in a growingly serverless world.

Automated testing is the foundation of your continuous integration practice. Automated testing clarifies the status of build processes for your team’s applications, ensures that tests run on every commit or pull request, and guarantees that you can make quick bug fixes before deploying to the production environment. In this tutorial, I will show you how to automate the testing of an Angular application.

One of the benefits of deploying software on the cloud is allocating a variable amount of resources to your platform as needed. To do this, your platform must be built in a scalable way. The platform must be able to detect when more resources are required and assign them. One method of doing this is the Elastic Load Balancer provided by AWS. Elastic load balancing will distribute traffic in your platform to multiple, healthy targets. It can automatically scale according to changes in your traffic.

Welcome to the engineering metrics guide for team success. Engineering metrics are data that teams can use to make informed decisions and operate at maximum efficiency. Don’t use CI on your team? Learn why continuous integration is key to increasing deployment frequency.
