One of the game changers in modern software development is Continuous Integration and Continuous Development (CI/CD). Both large, established organizations and small, growing companies use CI/CD to deliver software faster and to detect bugs in the software lifecycle. In this tutorial, I’ll create a full pipeline to practice CI/CD using Jenkins, including how to set up Jenkins on Docker. I’ll give an in-depth view of a Jenkins pipeline example using Jenkinsfile.

Continuous integration and continuous delivery/deployment (CI/CD) pipelines are integral to software development and management nowadays, yet there seems to be a lot of confusion about what CI/CD actually is. In this article, learn about the definitions and explanations of CI/CD, the difference between CI and CD—and the difference between CI/CD and DevOps.

Code, features, pull requests, code reviews and so much more! 2022 has been a year of dramatic growth and change for Codefresh. Join us for a review of the year! As companies that build software, you rewarded Codefresh with healthy revenue growth throughout 2022 because you’ve told us progressive software delivery remains a critical investment and top priority.

State of DevOps moderator Ciara Carey recaps the Dec 15 session.

Continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) optimizes team development flows by automating build, test, and deployment processes to ensure fast and reliable delivery of high-quality software. Adopting best-in-class CI/CD tooling is one of the best investments your organization can make to shorten delivery cycles, eliminate painful manual processes, and keep infrastructure costs in check.

Organizations are under pressure to deliver software faster than ever before. Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) help them meet that demand. Companies are turning to CI/CD to speed up the software development process and increase efficiency. In this article, learn about what CI/CD is, the benefits of using it and some of the challenges that come with it.

Platform engineering is an emerging discipline focused on enhancing developer productivity by reducing the complexity and uncertainty of modern software delivery. It addresses some of the biggest challenges of doing DevOps at scale, including aligning development practices with business priorities and reducing the burden of managing a complicated web of tools and infrastructure across the application lifecycle.

Organizing a software release is a cross-team effort and a large undertaking. Leveraging the power of Mattermost Playbooks can help your team stay on deadline and keep confusion at bay. In this post, we’ll learn how to quickly integrate Mattermost into your GitLab release pipeline to help streamline your release processes. At the end of the blog post, there’s a link to a release management demo that you can try out in the browser to see these ideas in action.

CI pipelines have become an integral part of the development workflow, helping teams automate the continuous building and testing of new updates to application code. The growing importance of CI pipelines has naturally led to a need for increased visibility into their performance. In 2021, Datadog introduced CI Visibility to deliver granular performance metrics for each individual pipeline, allowing you to monitor build duration and related telemetry across all recent commits.

After 33k commits, nearly 200k contributions, 9.6k contributors, and almost 15k pull requests, the Argo Project has officially graduated within the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). The Argo Project was first created and open-sourced in 2017 by Applatix who was later acquired by Intuit. Shortly thereafter, BlackRock, Codefresh, and RedHat joined the project as it moved into the CNCF.

There are hundreds of capabilities on CircleCI that were designed to create the best possible CI/CD experience for our users. But one feature that users often point to as the most valuable on the platform is the CircleCI Insights dashboard. The Insights dashboard provides full visibility into metrics like job status, duration monitoring, and solutions for pipeline optimization.

In the world of IT, there are two main approaches to managing changes—the information technology infrastructure library (ITIL) and continuous integration and continuous delivery/deployment (CI/CD). Both have their own benefits and drawbacks, so it’s important to understand the difference between them before deciding which one is right for your organization. In this article, learn about the difference between CI/CD and ITIL, and find out which approach is best for your needs.

We recently announced a new open source project called Grafana Phlare. This highly available continuous profiling data source is built into Grafana core, allowing you to seamlessly monitor your profiling data. With continuous profiling, you can see which parts of your applications are consuming the most resources. You can then use that data to make any necessary tweaks to reduce consumption, which translates to lower costs.

Managing workplace technology is more complex now than ever before. The world as we see it has changed, leading to a burst of technological innovations aimed at creating efficient digital workplaces creating more flexibility for employees but are something of a monster for IT to manage. Managing the complexity of the digital workplace at an enterprise level requires visibility into every digital asset.
