Open source projects are a testament to the possibilities of collective action. From small libraries to large-scale systems, these projects rely on the volunteer efforts of communities to evolve, improve, and sustain. The principles behind successful open source projects resonate deeply with the divide-and-conquer strategy, a universal approach that has proven effective across multiple disciplines.

In today’s digital age, the need for efficient document storage and collaboration tools is more pressing than ever. Microsoft, being a leader in the enterprise solutions sector, offers two standout products in this category: SharePoint and OneDrive. While both tools hail from the same Microsoft family and integrate seamlessly with other Microsoft 365 apps, they serve distinct purposes. Let’s delve deeper into the nuances of each and understand their primary differences.

To excel in embedded development in 2023, it is essential to have a solid understanding of build systems, continuous integration, and deployment strategies. This workshop by Percepio training partner Jacob Beningo aims to provide a comprehensive primer on these practices, equipping participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to tackle complex firmware projects with confidence.

Are your CI/CD pipelines at risk? They might be if you use long-lived, static credentials and tokens. Long-lived, static credentials and tokens are one of the most common causes of data breaches in cloud environments. CI/CD tools need access to cloud services to publish artifacts, deploy software, and access resources on their cloud provider. So, they need credentials. It's tempting to hard-code them. But that's a bad idea.

Hey, Matt from GitKraken here. I’ll admit, we’re a tad obsessed with developer productivity. Tools like GitKraken Client and GitLens are great for helping any developer go further, faster. But building software is most often a team sport. So over the past year, customers of all sizes have been imploring us to fill two important voids.

To get the most out of your incident response processes, consistency is crucial. The more predictable you can be whenever issues crop up, whether a small bug or a major outage, the quicker and more confidently you can respond. In practice, incident response is equal parts knowing how to actually resolve the issue and having the confidence that the processes in place will help get you through without added stress.

In this post we adopt a slightly different lens through which to “see” and understand IT orchestration understood to be an orderly sequence of automations executed across disparate domains, including servers, networks, security, apps, cloud and more.

Internal developer platforms (IDPs) have become a necessity for software development in today's ever-changing technological landscape. These platforms not only support engineering team velocity and business product strategies but also enhance communication and information flow, impacting successful product launches.

This final part of the “Implementing Backstage” series focuses on how to deploy Backstage on Kubernetes. This tutorial is a direct continuation of Using the Kubernetes Plugin in Backstage, which you should complete before tackling this one. The other installments in this series covered getting started, using the core features, integrating with existing tools using plugins, and security and compliance.
