Annual reports often feel full of fluff, but the 2024 State of Git Collaboration Report, developed by GitKraken in partnership with JetBrains and drawing on insights from 150,000 developers worldwide, gets straight to the heart of what makes the best development teams stand out in 2024.

Many organizations who are looking to introduce Fault Injection as a testing technique start with non-production environments, but don't always go back and reconsider that choice as they mature beyond initial assessment. However, there's a strong case for running these tests in your live systems. It's important to consider the trade-offs when choosing to test in production or non-production environments, as it can have far-reaching impacts on the efficacy and cost of improving the resilience of software.

What does the platform engineering roadmap look like as we head into its continued maturity? We recently conducted a survey to better understand the role and state of platform engineering — emphasizing those organizations who are using this tactic to greater success. Using this data, we will peek into the future and see where platform engineering is headed next.

Today, we are thrilled to announce our brand-new product, “Turbo360”—an ultimate Cloud Management Platform for Microsoft Azure. It’s not a completely new product; we are rebranding and repositioning our successful product Serverless360, to Turbo360 to serve a bigger market and customer base. Serverless360 has evolved into a full-blown cloud management platform in the past seven years.

This was: “Mike, we really like Azure Documenter in Turbo360, but what would be awesome is if I can generate the documentation from a DevOps pipeline so each time we deploy updates to Azure, we can regenerate the documentation” In this article, we will look at how to do it.

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is a sophisticated method designed to streamline the management of user permissions within software environments, including SharePoint Online. At its core, RBAC allows administrators to assign system access to users based on their role within an organization rather than on an individual basis. This approach simplifies the process of granting appropriate access levels by grouping permissions into roles that correspond to job functions.

In February 2001, 17 people met at the Snowbird ski resort in Utah. They were the leading exponents of Extreme Programming, Scrum, and Adaptive Software Development, and they were seeking a set of compatible values based on trust, respect and collaboration. They wanted to make software development easier. And they found it in the form of a manifesto. Their only concern was that the term describing the manifesto came from a ‘Brit’ and they weren’t sure how to pronounce it.

It has been lightly revised and reposted with his permission from the original article on Medium. So, you’re training incident commanders (IC), and you have your group read Google’s SRE books. Everyone knows what they are supposed to do and you are ready for any incident, right? Not quite. Half of your team complains that the descriptions are too vague or don’t apply to their situations, and the other half just starts to improvise. The result?
