Transform Mobile DevOps into Mobile DevSecOps
Mobile developers are mostly focused on adding new features and functionality to their apps. Security features—such as RASP protection, obfuscation, encryption, jailbreak/root prevention and MiTM prevention—are usually addressed at the end of the development cycle if they are addressed at all. Unfortunately, most apps ship with significant vulnerabilities. One internal app test showed that most […]
Harnessing the Value of Log Data Analytics
Each day, the average enterprise’s cloud applications, containers, compute nodes and other components throw off millions of tiny logs. Each log is a file whose data describes an event such as a user action, service request, application task or compute error. Logs also capture messages that applications and other components send to one another. There’s […]

…And all Those Other DevOps Tools
When we started going through the DevOps toolchain for our new project, we found a ton of bits that normally we (and most likely you) wouldn’t pay too much attention to, because they don’t matter—until they do. Then we all pay attention. That’s why we added them to the toolchain list of options before they […]

5 App Modernization Best Practices
An organization’s digital transformation is ineffectual if it doesn’t bring out the best from its applications. This is a near-universal concern since most enterprises still have core applications that are architected primarily to work in legacy IT landscapes in an on-premises dedicated environment, slowing down IT and business performance, stymieing innovation and increasing vulnerability to […]
Zero-Trust Network Access Platforms Slash DevOps Bottlenecks
In a prior article, I indicated why a new remote zero-trust platform is needed to support DevOps teams. Traditional remote access configurations are not well-suited for DevOps given a shifting user population comprised of employees, contractors and other third parties often using their own devices; the large number of tools and systems to which access […]

EP 18: Does Standardization Disrupt Innovation?
Although everyone has their own definition of DevOps, it all comes down to creating better software faster, empowering development and operations teams and delivering value to customers. However, there really isn’t a standard approach to DevOps.
How to Apply GitOps on Infrastructure
GitOps has become more than a buzzword in the DevOps community. It consists of a set of best practices designed to better deploy, manage and monitor Kubernetes clusters and applications. By adopting GitOps everything becomes code, therefore empowering DevOps teams to control every aspect of the development process from beginning to end. Viktor Farcic, developer […]

Empowering Teams to Make Mission: Impossible Possible
“Your mission, should you choose to accept it….” That’s the way the original Mission: Impossible TV show and, later, the movie series drew us in. The bad guy’s operation was explained. The goal was clearly defined; infiltrate and destroy. And although the task at hand was extremely difficult and fraught with unknowns, the team of […]

3 Ways to Prevent Developer Burnout
Without developers, software companies wouldn’t exist—and yet, the experience of these experts can be far from ideal. A recent report from Haystack found that nearly 80% of developers report being burned out and the pandemic isn’t even one of the primary factors. Despite similar job requirements, the experience of developers significantly varies across the industry, […]

Solving the DevOps Accountability Problem
DevOps accountability is the idea that both the development and operations teams have equal responsibility for success. But putting this approach into practice has been a thorn in the side of DevOps teams for the past decade, largely due to outdated organizational structures that place responsibilities on a single employee or team. These outmoded structures […]
