CI/CD workflows are essential for modern software development, enabling scalability, seamless integration, and ease of workflow management. However, migrating these workflows between tools—such as from Jenkins to Bitbucket Pipelines—can feel daunting due to differences in syntax, custom configurations, and repository-specific setups. To address these challenges, we’re thrilled to announce the Jenkins to Bitbucket Pipelines Migration Tool.

We see it often. Too many companies struggle to optimize their cloud costs — whichever platform they use, from Microsoft Azure to Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). So, in this guide, we are sharing over 20 Azure cost optimization best practices you can apply right away — all in a calorie-free, snackable guide you can read in less than a coffee break.

As businesses migrate to the cloud, monitoring these environments becomes critically important. Digital Ocean is a popular developer choice due to its simplicity and scalability. However, effectively monitoring resources and applications within Digital Ocean can pose unique challenges. Hosted Graphite and Telegraf provide robust solutions for these challenges, allowing users to visualize data, track system metrics in real-time, and troubleshoot issues quickly.

In one of our previous articles, we discussed how to rename a database in MySQL in detail. In this article, we will focus specifically on renaming tables in MySQL. Rename table operations are common. Quite often, as business situations and requirements change, it becomes necessary to change the names of tables in MySQL databases.

In 2006, Amazon Web Services (AWS) pioneered cloud computing as we know it today. With about 34% of the market share, Amazon Web Services remains the largest cloud infrastructure provider today, followed by Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). AWS is a Cloud Service Provider (CSP). That means AWS builds, maintains, and continually improves multiple data centers worldwide and then rents the computing infrastructure to other companies over the Internet as needed.

As telecom providers evolve to support 5G and beyond, network complexity skyrockets. That’s where a “Dark NOC” comes into play. Contrary to what it might sound like, a Dark NOC doesn’t mean a completely deserted control room. Instead, it’s a NOC that can operate with minimal human oversight thanks to advanced automation. Routine and even some complex processes run autonomously, leaving human intervention only for specific, high-stakes scenarios.

Today, Canonical announced the availability of MicroCloud’s first long term support (LTS) release. MicroCloud is part of Canonical’s cloud infrastructure portfolio. As the publisher of Ubuntu, Canonical is known for providing Ubuntu LTS releases every two years in April. With the addition of a MicroCloud LTS, Canonical expands its commitment to long term support for organizations looking for a scalable virtualization solution for edge and low-touch clouds.

Do you often spend more time trying to understand code instead of writing it? Whether it’s finding dependencies, understanding data flows, or locating the right entry points, the lack of visibility in codebases, both new and old, can quickly slow devs down. With the right tools and practices, though, developers can access the full picture of the codebase from the start. This guide is all about making code visibility work for you.
