Dr. Anton Chuvakin, a noted warrior/poet/security cybersecurity expert, sums up my thoughts about RSAC 2023 marketing messaging perfectly with this post on Twitter. For those who are new to the vendor hall, the amount of just bad marketing can be overwhelming and confusing. . There’s only one chance to get your message across to your prospects, so make it short and sweet. Anton’s guess of “zero click zero trust” is closer than you think to the truth.

Azure Logic Apps is a cloud-based service provided by Microsoft Azure that allows users to create and run automated workflows. A trigger is the first step of a workflow that specifies the condition for running further steps in that workflow. Azure Logic Apps creates a workflow run each time the trigger fires successfully. The details of each run, including the status, inputs, and outputs of each step of the workflow instance, can be accessed in the run history section of the Logic App.

End-to-end visibility into pipelines is crucial for ensuring the health and performance of your CI system, especially at scale. Within extensive CI systems—which operate under the strain of numerous developers simultaneously pushing commits—even the slightest performance regression or uptick in failure rates can compound rapidly and have tremendous repercussions, causing major cost overruns and impeding release velocity across organizations.

CircleCI supports GitLab as a version control system (VCS). In this tutorial you will learn how to set up your first CircleCI CI/CD pipeline for a project hosted on GitLab. As GitLab can be used either as a SaaS tool, as well as self-managed on-premise installation, I will cover the steps to connect it with CircleCI for both.

We’ve known for years that context switching is detrimental to productivity. Both computers and humans become less productive with each additional concurrent task or priority. Every time you need to shift your focus between projects, you lose approximately 20% efficiency as you figure out where you left off, what needs to be done, how the work fits into the project, etc.
