Densify has just been recognized by GigaOm as a Leader and “Fast Mover” in the market for Kubernetes Resource Management. This is the second year in a row that Densify has gained this distinction and comes in addition to also being named a leader and outperformer in GigaOm’s report on Cloud Resource Optimization in June of last year.

Software development is a sophisticated process that comes with complexity built in. Enter DevOps (many years ago, of course) to foster an environment where developers can build complex applications while minimizing backend overhead, ensuring that processes are replicable and software design is standardized. One of the first examples of DevOps in action was the surge in popularity for service-oriented architecture.

The FinOps Foundation sets out six FinOps principles cloud-based companies should follow to achieve and maintain optimal control over their cloud spending and cost efficiency. On the surface, they seem straightforward enough. The first principle, for example, is that teams should always collaborate in real-time to “continuously improve for efficiency and innovation” when it comes to staying on top of software development cloud costs.

Carmakers are facing numerous challenges on the path towards software-defined vehicles (SDVs), such as legacy vendor dependence, which is leading to a lack of scalability, and high maintenance costs. Adopting a software-centric approach should reduce complexity and costs, accelerate time to market, improve product quality, increase flexibility, and provide more robust cybersecurity.

In today’s digital age, the ability to collaborate effectively and manage documents efficiently is more critical than ever. Enter SharePoint Online, a powerful cloud-based platform by Microsoft that is revolutionizing the way organizations operate. It’s more than just a tool; it’s a game-changer in the realm of digital collaboration and content management.

A short history of software monitoring, from the 00s. What has changed? Why are things so arcane?

Your cloud platform probably came with tools to secure and manage the resources you create. We call those cloud-native security tools because they’re proprietary to the vendor you’re using them on. Third-party alternatives, on the other hand, are usually created to be compatible with several cloud provider platforms at once.

Software engineering key performance indicators (KPIs) help engineer leadings keep teams accountable while ensuring focus on highest leverage activities. They are essential for driving process improvement, managing risks, supporting data-driven decision making, and ensuring customer satisfaction. Without KPIs, teams may encounter challenges related to visibility, efficiency, decision-making, quality, and customer satisfaction, which can ultimately impact project success and organizational performance.

An Internal Developer Platform (IDP) is an ecosystem that empowers developers to manage the entire application lifecycle from development to deployment autonomously. As a vital component for organizations, the implementation of an IDP often presents a ‘Build vs. Buy’ dilemma: should you construct your own IDP, tailored to your unique needs, or would it be more efficient to purchase a pre-built solution?

In a world of too many acronyms and initialisms, we’re here to talk about one more – TDM, aka DevOps test data management.
