The technology ecosystem is continually evolving but one truth remains, if there is a new and emerging coding language that captures the heart and minds of developers JFrog will be there. JFrog provides a DevOps Platform to store and secure its artifacts while engaging with the community and foundations that support developers using that language. We have a long history of working with Java, Python, C/C++ and more recently Go, Swift and Rust.

Code that an organization’s developers create is only the beginning of modern software development. In fact, first-party code is likely to be only a small proportion of an application – sometimes as little as 10% of the application’s artifact ecosystem. An enterprise’s software supply chain is made of many parts, from many sources: open source packages, commercial software, infrastructure-as-code (IaC) files, and more.

Many platforms offer free hosting services for React and other JavaScript frameworks. These frameworks can be used for building single-page applications, which is handy when you need to launch a minimum viable product or a quick proof of concept. Your fellow developers are taking advantage of these tools, and you can too. To narrow down options, I will focus on Firebase in this tutorial.

Monitoring and troubleshooting; unfortunately, these terms are still used interchangeably, which can lead to misunderstandings about data collection strategies. In this article we aim to clarify some important definitions, processes, and common data collection strategies for monitoring solutions. We will specify the limitations of the described strategies, as well as key benefits which can potentially be also used for troubleshooting needs.

We've all done it: "that'll be simple, I'll just write a quick script and..." In the case of calculating on-call pay, we really have done it before: our team have built the on-call pay scripts for several companies, and each attempt was a painful, error prone process. While we believe everyone on-call should be paid for their inconvenience, relying on someones side-project or back-of-napkin maths to calculate pay leads to mistakes, frustration, and wasted time.

We get it – incidents happen. What differentiates resilient teams from others is how they learn from them: using them as an opportunity to find the biggest improvements in how they work. Incident timelines are one of the most simple and effective tools available to you when it comes to learning from an incident. It’s vital that you ensure they’re accurate and useful, in order to make the biggest improvements after an incident.

Running or operating applications requires several tasks throughout their lifecycle: scaling instances, checking the health, integrating with other applications, running backups, and applying updates – to name a few examples. It’s a time and labour-intensive process. To automate these tasks, developers can implement scripts for repeated execution. This is where the software operator comes in.

When it comes to starting your IoT project, organisations have a wider selection of connectivity options than ever before. In this blog, we consider which connectivity type might suit your IoT project best.

At Civo we aim to provide users with the tools and knowledge to succeed in the cloud native landscape. So, we’re super excited to announce a brand new tech event, Civo Navigate! Whether you’re looking to join us in person or take part in the event, here’s your guide to all things Civo Navigate.

I remember how excited I was to build my first Network Operations Center (NOC). It was a new idea at the time (yes, I know I’m dating myself), and boy, did we feel like we were cutting edge. The mere idea that we needed a place and a set of tools to monitor our entire infrastructure (because it’s never really been about just the network) was a big transition at the time. How things have changed.
