Introduction to Automation Testing Strategies For Microservices

Microservices are distributed applications deployed in different environments and could be developed in different programming languages having different databases with too many internal and external communications. A microservice architecture is dependent on multiple interdependent applications for its end-to-end functionalities. This complex microservices architecture requires a systematic testing strategy to ensure end-to-end (E2E) testing for any given use case. In this blog, we will discuss some of the most adopted automation testing strategies for microservices and to do that we will use the testing triangle approach.

Enterprise Package Management for Everyone

Suppose you asked developers in the mid-2000s how they managed and compiled their binaries. You’d probably hear some anxiety-inducing answers (e.g., storing packages in git repositories or insecure file stores). Thankfully, organizations currently have various options for managing their first or third-party packages, dependencies, and containers.

Introducing a leaner and more flexible config (and support for custom hosts!)

To make the developer experience as smooth as possible, we are simplifying the onboarding process. Howso? By making the Upsun configuration files optional (zero configuration!). Due to popular demands, we’re also giving you a simple way to control custom DNS entries directly in the YAML configuration files (see below). Previously, if you started from one of our many ready-to-use templates, those YAML files were automatically included.

Introducing the New Snyk App for Bitbucket Cloud

This post is authored by Marco Morales, Partner Solutions Architect, and Sarah Conway, Director of Partner Marketing, at Snyk. We're excited to announce a new Snyk App for Bitbucket Cloud. Snyk first announced this integration in June 2021, which brings Snyk scan results into the Bitbucket Cloud environment so you can identify vulnerabilities as they emerge, right next to the code in your everyday workflow.

Managing and improving reliability using Gremlin's Reliability Dashboard

Part of a successful reliability program is being able to monitor and review your progress toward improving reliability. Being able to run tests on services is a big part of it, but how can you tell you're making progress if you can only see your latest test results? There should be a way to track improvements or regressions in your reliability testing practice across your organization in a way that's easy to digest. That's where the Reliability Dashboard comes in.

Point Solution Monitoring vs. Domain-Agnostic AIOps. Which is Right for You?

Just consider how much of your day relies on online digital technologies. Perhaps you hopped on an app to pre-order your morning coffee and then logged onto a platform to book a car to work. Or, perhaps you stayed home to work, using digital tools to connect with your colleagues and exchange information.

Accelerate IT/OT convergence in Industry 4.0 [Part I]

Welcome to this three-part mini-series on bridging the gap between operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) in Industry 4.0. Throughout this series, we will discuss the key challenges industrial manufacturers face when trying to accelerate their digital transformation. We will understand why legacy update approaches and lack of security in OT do not suit the Industry 4.0 world and assess how adopting open source software can help bridge the gap.
