There is a mindboggling amount of data today; to even measure it requires using a byte measurement called a zettabyte, which is one sextillion bytes (that’s 21 zeros). Currently, because such a ridiculous amount of data exists, there is a growing urgency to end wasteful data processes. From this environment, DataOps was born. Similar to […]
0 CommentsWe’ve got decades of experience in programming and language adoption under our belt at this point, and there are a few things we can say definitively that developers in general (and DevOps engineers specifically) should be aware of. First, it doesn’t matter as much as you think. It really doesn’t. Most developers don’t choose programming […]
0 CommentsDatadog has launched a Datadog Cloud Security Platform that promises to advance DevSecOps by identifying potential threats using the same agent software many DevOps teams already rely on to instrument applications. Renaud Boutet, senior vice president of product for Datadog, said organizations that rely on the Datadog software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform can now more easily invoke […]
0 CommentsNew requirements for Securing Microservices Vs. Monolithic Apps Enterprises are migrating from monolithic applications to microservices, hoping to accelerate software deployment and improve scalability. Security is sometimes glossed over in these transitions. Simple best practices like authenticating users and using SSL are still important to follow. But teams need to think through important differences between […]
0 CommentsNew technologies are evolving the way societies function, and as a result, how businesses are carried out. In the networking industry, these emerging technologies coupled with the long-lasting impact of the past year–such as remote working–are changing the way customers and communication service providers (CSPs) interact. To that end, these shifts in behavior subsequently bring […]
0 CommentsQuite often, when developing applications, it becomes necessary to execute long-running code at the same time as performing other tasks. More recently, to run a program on the Java virtual machine (JVM) it was necessary to write the program in Java. Those days are long gone due to the wide variety of programming languages for […]
0 CommentsThe rise of hybrid IT and the accelerated adoption of cloud-native apps have evolved traditional database design, management and monitoring. Workloads are rapidly shifting to the cloud and application performance is heavily dependent on the performance of the underlying database. Meanwhile, the global COVID-19 pandemic has forced companies to make significant changes in the last […]
0 CommentsTest environment management is bottlenecking DevOps transformations and is driving the need for a new test environment management platform solution. On-demand test environments in which developers and testers do not have to wait for a shared environment are sorely needed. The evidence is clear. In my book Engineering DevOps I indicated that finding and setting up […]
0 CommentsDevelopers today are under great pressure to create apps faster than ever before, and they must continuously update them, adding new features and incorporating new technologies. Many companies have adopted DevOps, cloud-native architectures, and low-code development solutions to accelerate the development and updating cycle. But another critical aspect to modern application development has been to […]
