Integrate security into development with Snyk, now a seamless part of Bitbucket Cloud

While PR analysis within Code Insights and Snyk Pipes are available to use right now, we're rolling out a native Security tab in Bitbucket Cloud. This will be a gradual rollout through the month of May so watch out for it in the left nav. We look forward to your feedback. Even small vulnerabilities can cost a team a lot. All too frequently we see news reports of organisations that mishandled their code & build level security, causing customer data to be exposed.

JFrog and PagerDuty Extend Ecosystem Integration

JFrog and PagerDuty have deepened their technology integration to further boost IT operators’ and developers’ visibility into the software development lifecycle and accelerate incident resolution. The latest integration, which involves the JFrog Pipelines DevOps pipeline automation solution, simplifies and streamlines how to identify faulty builds that impact production environments.

Building CI/CD pipelines using dynamic config

Creating robust, manageable, and reusable functionality is a big part of my job as a CI/CD engineer. Recently, I wrote about managing reusable pipeline configuration by adopting and implementing pipeline variables within pipeline configuration files. As I showed in that tutorial, pipeline variables and orbs have added some flexibility to this process, but they are still a bit limited.

Introducing dynamic config via setup workflows

With the new release of dynamic config via setup workflows, CircleCI customers can now use jobs and workflows, not only to execute work but to determine the work they want to run. We built dynamic config because we know our users want more dynamism in the CircleCI build process. Historically, our platform has been very deterministic: the config is pre-set in a file based on the revision for a given pipeline.

Leaving the Nest: Guidelines, guardrails, and human error by Laura Santamaria Failover Conf 2021

When we talk about reliable systems, we talk a lot about human error. Human error in an incident or a bug report is often treated with a bit of a facepalm reaction. The term masks a lot of scenarios from accidents to exhaustion to everything in between. However, human error helps us understand where our processes failed and how we can prevent the same error from happening again. In short, we need to think in terms of a framework of guidelines and guardrails. In this short talk, let’s discuss how guidelines like runbooks and guardrails like automation can help us address the fact that everyone will, at some point, make mistakes.

Monitor cloud endpoint health with Datadog's cloud service autodetection

Your modern cloud-hosted applications rely on a number of key components—such as databases and load balancers—that are managed by the cloud provider. While these cloud resources can reduce the overhead of maintaining your own infrastructure, capturing and contextualizing monitoring data from services you don’t own can be difficult.
