As an orchestration tool, Kubernetes solves many IT issues that are, unfortunately, part and parcel of using containers, including the need for high availability, reliability, scalability, fault tolerance, and spiraling costs. It's clear Kubernetes makes sense for organizations looking to manage containerized applications, but it's also a smart tool to help scale digital transformations — here's why ...

As engineering leaders, we've all become familiar with DORA metrics ... In fact, our industry has started to view success through the lens of DORA metrics. That view is incomplete and, worse, often misunderstood. For a complete view on how to view DORA metrics and use them to improve engineering teams, we need to acknowledge some long-held misinterpretations ...

The best tools and processes cannot produce true DevOps without a culture of collaboration and buy-in. Some organizations still fail to see the role of culture in DevOps, while others expect a mature DevOps culture to evolve overnight. Either way, this reveals a misunderstanding of what DevOps culture is and how teams can successfully create one. In what follows, we address the what and the how of DevOps culture by debunking six of the most common misconceptions ...

As a developer ... the expectation for you to maintain velocity and security only keeps growing. The "Shift Left" approach is the outcome and epitome of this accelerated pace of software development. In this instance, tests and validations are conducted early in the development cycle to arrest any risks associated with software quality. This post will unravel the opposite (and perhaps obvious) "Shift Right" concept ...

Three crucial factors hinder the effectiveness of shifting left: test coverage, business context, and the disparity between production and pre-production environments. By critically examining and addressing these limitations, we can establish a more proactive approach to application security — ensuring that systems remain resilient by detecting vulnerabilities early on. Let's dive in ...

My colleagues and I at cloud-native application security provider Backslash Security have been fascinated by the fact that dev teams outnumber AppSec teams and the amount of alert noise the latter struggle with on a daily basis. We wanted to dig deeper, so we commissioned a report to find out from US-based AppSec professionals (managers and engineers) themselves how they are faring with these dynamics at play ...
