Company CEO Oren Rubin said the Testim Development Kit makes it possible […]
The Power of Embedded Analytics and the Build Versus Buy Dilemma
Embedded analytics are a powerful tool for adding value and stickiness to your desktop and mobile apps. Many app developers are providing these features as standard in their tools. But should independent software vendors (ISVs), systems integrators (SIs) or companies building internal apps build analytics tools in-house, or should they buy them from specialist providers? […]
How Organizations Benefit from AWS App Patterns
As a startup, an organization thrives by breaking rules, challenging the status quo and standing for all that is against the norm. The same rules don’t apply once the same organization grows, matures, becomes popular, gains a long list of clients and expands to a global footprint. With scale and growth comes the need for […]

Mario’s Adventures in Tekton Land
Tekton is an open source, cloud-native CI/CD pipelines engine. The project has its roots in the Knative project, where about a year ago it started under the name “Knative Pipeline,” with the aim of providing an extension to build Knative’s own “source to image” service. About eight months ago the project was reborn as Tekton […]
The NVMF Boogie: How Kubernetes and NVMF Will Rock
I recently wrote a blog about how Kubernetes creates a global computing grid that delivers unprecedented compute flexibility. Then I wrote a blog about the importance of going fully Kubernetes-native. In today’s blog I would like to drill down into the role that the NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF or just NVMF) standard will play in […]
What Are AWS Application Patterns?
The cloud-native approach is not just about compute power and cloud services. A “set it and forget it” attitude won’t work with cloud native; there are far too many moving pieces and there is just way too much complexity. Instead, this approach requires constant testing, optimization and improvement. This is epitomized in the two key […]
DevOps at a Distance
How do you successfully follow DevOps practices when the two parts of your team are 5,000 miles (8,000km) and two time zones apart? Airwallex is a global fintech founded in Melbourne, Australia just four years ago. It is Australia’s fastest-growth tech unicorn with a valuation of over $1 billion thanks in part to investments from […]
Using Open Source for Better DevOps Outcomes
Many insurers have jumped on the DevOps bandwagon in order to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their systems and systems implementations. Very few insurers, however, spend much time thinking about the open source software community as a way to improve their DevOps approach–and the skills of their developers–and in that regard they’re missing a […]
The Challenge of Scaling Metrics in Distributed Systems
Whether migrating from a monolithic architecture or building a distributed system from ground zero, there are many benefits to leverage from a microservices architecture–faster software deployment cycles, enhanced scalability, improved isolation of risk. However, distributed systems are complex and as such, accompanied by many challenges, particularly when it comes to the scalability of metrics. The […]
IBM Advances DevOps on the Mainframe
IBM has expanded its efforts to bring DevOps best practices to the mainframe by adding automated unit testing capabilities for CICS COBOL programs using Db2 to IBM Developer for z/OS (IDz) V14.2.1. The company is also making an instance of z/OS available within a Docker container that can be deployed on an x86 platform. Sanjay […]
Identifying and Abstracting Business Intelligence from Kubernetes Workloads
In the age of big data, businesses are inundated with data points. While they know there’s an abundance of valuable resources available to them, making sense of this data to derive actionable insights is often still a challenge. CNCF industry survey data shows workload complexity and monitoring remain top challenges for enterprises in terms of […]
Continuous Optimization: An Idea Whose Time Has Come?
Agile makes development deliver code faster. CI makes testing move faster and CD makes delivery faster, but what keeps track of the volume of change all of this introduces and delivers optimizations faster? That is the question Opsani wants you to be asking. And it’s a valid question. Optimization in a complex and constantly changing […]
Dell Boomi Dives Into DevOps
Boomi, a Dell Technologies business, today announced it has extended its integration platform-as-a-service (iPaaS) platform to include application programming interface (API) lifecycle management capabilities. Announced at the Boomi World 2019 conference, the API lifecycle management tools are an extension of a larger initiative to bring apply best DevOps practices to the building of APIs deployed […]
Kong Employs Machine Learning to Extend Services Control
At the Kong Summit 2019 conference, Kong today announced it has acquired Insomnia, an open source testing tool for application programming interfaces (APIs). In addition, it has added support for REST, Kafka Streams, gRPC, GraphQL and plugins written in Go to its service control platform. Kong also added more capabilities based on machine learning algorithms […]
How to Implement an Effective CI/CD Pipeline
DevOps bridges the gap between development, operations and IT services teams efficiently. To foster a DevOps culture, implementing the right DevOps tools with the right DevOps process is essential. Continuous integration/continuous delivery/continuous deployment (CI/CD/CD) help developers and testers ship the software faster and safer in a structured environment. Unlike the traditional software life cycle, the […]

The rate at which DevOps teams that rely on cloud services from Render will be able to discover new tools is about to increase significantly, thanks to Render’s new alliance with Manifold, a provider of a marketplace-as-a-service platform. Render already offers logging, monitoring and other DevOps tools, and will use the Manifold technology to create […]
Red Hat Unveils Ansible Platform
At the AnsibleFest 2019 conference, Red Hat this week announced the general availability of the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform that combines several IT automation technologies into a single subscription. Built on top of Red Hat Ansible Engine, the platform also includes Red Hat Ansible Tower, a management console, and Red Hat Network Automation, an […]
Split Software Adds Feature Monitoring to Feature Delivery Toolset
One of the issues that has long plagued both development and test is determining exactly where problem code exists. The increasing rate of change that agile and DevOps have brought to projects makes this problem worse than ever because changes today can impact code from yesterday–or yesteryear. The constant flux that modern software is in […]
Deadline Extended! Get Your Tools Included in Our DevOps Tools Directory
We’ve extended the deadline for inclusion in the DevOps Tools Directory, due to the number of last-minute entries we’ve received so far. The new deadline is this Friday, Sept. 20, so don’t wait! The DevOps market is growing so fast that it’s getting difficult for us (and, I’m sure, you) to keep up with all […]
Why COBOL Still Matters After 60 Years
In the world of DevOps, the Agile Manifesto and countless other application delivery frameworks, one has to wonder how an anachronism such as the programming language COBOL (common business-oriented language) has managed to remain relevant. After all, COBOL has its roots back in the 1940s, and was built upon Rear Admiral Grace Hopper’s work on […]
The Bedrock of Digital Transformation
Trends come and go. I’m old enough to have been persuaded, twice, about the good sense of flared jeans. I had a space hopper. I had a Betamax video player. Fads and cool ideas are a constant white noise, vying for our attention. Some will stick, some won’t. And that’s true in technology. No-one admits […]
