Knowing how to handle it when things break is more important than preventing things from ever breaking.
Dynamic application security testing (DAST) can help catch security flaws in your code. And it can do it automatically in your build process.
Most organizations struggle to change their culture or find a formula for success in difficult-to-mature processes. They don't always understand their own systems.
For a successful Agile and DevOps practice, organizations need to think beyond tooling. Engineering organizations need a strong community of practice culture that supports the collecting and distributing of knowledge, greater cross-organizational collaboration, and breaks down the silos that can happen in companies of all sizes.
When the bots came for us, we strengthened our defenses. Here's what we learned about parrying a few DDoS attacks.
If there is one thing developers like less than writing documentation, it's responding to unnecessary escalations.
Recently, Stack Overflow’s Chief Product and Technology Officer, Teresa Dietrich, sat down with Justin Stone, Senior Director of Secure DevOps Platforms at Liberty Mutual, for a conversation about building a high-velocity DevOps culture.
Observability platforms enable you to easily figure out what’s happening with every request and to identify the cause of issues fast. Learning the principles of observability and OpenTelemetry will set you apart from the crowd and provide you with a skill set that will be in increasing demand as more companies perform cloud migrations.
Many companies run parallel development and operations organizations. But what if you just ran one team that did both?
How to create a positive feedback loop between your developers and your SRE team.
DevOps job posts often ask for automation skills, which is a positive way of asking for someone who’s professionally lazy in a way that results in efficiency. The good news is that developers can also learn a few tricks from the land of ops to make their days easier and their work better.
