Testing is a vital part of the software development lifecycle. It plays an important role in the continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline, enabling developers to release dependable, resilient, and secure software consistently. There are many types of testing and testing methodologies: end-to-end testing, dynamic testing, integration testing, and others. This article focuses on component testing and unit testing.

Since the beginning, our community has been at the forefront of what we do. Over the years, we have been able to highlight the knowledge and talent of our community by showcasing tutorials submitted to us via Write For Us. As we reach the end of 2022, we wanted to highlight some of our top guides from the Civo community that were published throughout the year.

Continuous Delivery (CD) frameworks for Kubernetes, like the one created by Rancher with Fleet, are quite robust and easy to implement. Still, there are some rough edges you should pay attention to. Jobs deployment is one of those scenarios where things may not be straightforward, so you may need to stop and think about the best way to process them. We’ll explain here the challenges you may face and will give some tips about how to overcome them.

We recently partnered with GameCI to bridge the gap between CircleCI and the game development scene. This partnership brought forth the Unity orb, a reusable component of config you can plug into your CircleCI configuration file to build and test your Unity projects. For a while now, continuous integration and delivery have been part of the software development cookbook of several software houses and IT departments. However, this is often not the case in game development.

3DS OUTSCALE aims to provide local cloud services with global reach.

With Datadog’s Dash conference right around the corner, we at Cortex have been thinking a lot about best practices for observability. To get the most out of an application performance monitoring (APM) vendor like Datadog, you want to make sure monitoring and observability are built into launch and production readiness checklists.

At incident.io, our number one priority in engineering is pace. The faster we can build great product, the more feedback we can get and the more value we can deliver for our customers. But pace is a funny thing. If you optimise for pace over a single month, you’ll quickly find yourself slowed down by the weight of your past mistakes.

Kubeflow is an open-source MLOps platform that runs on top of Kubernetes. Kubeflow 1.6 was released September 7 2022 with Canonical’s official distribution, Charmed Kubeflow, following shortly after. It came with support for Kubernetes 1.22. However, the MLOps landscape evolves quickly and so does Charmed Kubeflow. As of today, Canonical supports the deployment of Charmed Kubeflow 1.6 on Charmed Kubernetes 1.23 and 1.24.
