Establishing a Cloud Center of Excellence (CCOE) is an important milestone in every company’s cloud computing journey. While it is usually not the first milestone — which is focused on delivering value to customers — this milestone is reached as the company grows and scales. Turning ad-hoc cloud initiatives into a company-wide strategy, the CCOE helps the business to manage the cloud process and adopt best practices.

Shifting left security means you, the developer, catching and fixing vulnerabilities and license violations early in the SDLC. That’s why Xray scans binaries pushed to Artifactory by your builds, and alerts you when there are issues with your dependencies.

We here on the CircleCI Community and Partner Engineering team at CircleCI use the gh pr checkout command all the time to safely test pull requests from the community (you!) on our various orbs .

Rust is a powerful language built on the promise of performance and reliability. With no runtime or garbage collector, it easily runs in any environment and can be integrated into any existing language or framework. With the advent of WebAssembly . Rust has become even more valued in the web development space. Rust’s seamless peering with Node.js to build highly performant functionalities has made it a delight for web developers.

Continuous integration seems like a smart choice, right? Why would anyone think that integrating your code into the product as soon as possible is a bad idea? Let me take you back to August 2000, when a fresh-faced young engineer was starting her first engineering role. She was given a desk, a computer, and a detailed project plan that included a release date three months in the future.

Although the fundamental concepts of site reliability engineering are the same in any environment, SREs must adapt practices to different technologies, like microservices.
