Gremlin's API makes it easy to integrate testing in your CI/CD pipeline

Thinking about integrating Gremlin into your existing pipeline? Look no farther than the Gremlin API. "The next step then was to build the right tooling such that the resiliency tests can be run from a pipeline. Gremlin's API first approach made it possible to do this in a very easy manner because everything that we could do from the UI and manually, we could replicate all of that through the API as well.

Spot Instances Explained: How They Can Lower Cloud Costs

An Introduction to Distributive Computing with Dan Desjardins & Jeroen van Bemmel

In this talk at the Navigate Local talk, Dan Desjardins and Jeroen van Bemmel from explore the potential of ubiquitous computing and compute economies. They highlight how harnessing idle compute power from everyday devices can transform the digital economy and benefit communities worldwide. Watch the live demo to see secure, distributed computing in action, and learn how this approach can reduce costs, improve efficiency, and promote sustainability.

Enhancing DevOps with SQL Sentry: A Guide to Shift Left Strategies

Data drives decisions: no one argues this. But developers and DevOps professionals primarily care that their data is being stored… somewhere. At that point, many of them walk away without a care about what happens afterward. They leave that to the DBAs, cloud admins, and anyone else except themselves. But that idea doesn’t scale. Even though the data is a part of your continuous delivery/continuous integration (CI/CD) operations, the care and feeding of those datasets falls to others. Maybe it’s time to look at that data and make some recommendations.
