A large percentage of Kubernetes deployments fail because organizations underestimate the complexity of Kubernetes and overestimate their ability to implement and manage a Kubernetes environment — a recent study showed that 100% of companies surveyed thought there were challenges with Kubernetes deployment ... Let's dive into 5 early indicators that a Kubernetes project is destined to fail ...
The most innovative and prepared developers understand the value in continuous testing strategies, testing early and often in the process. Rather than waiting for development to be completed before testing begins, it occurs continuously as features are added ... As continuous testing becomes more widely adopted in the mobile space, teams must consider three key elements to ensuring mobile success: people, processes and technology ...
A new report from observability data platform provider Mezmo and Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) shows that the current adoption of DevSecOps is low but it's poised for future growth. Based on a survey of 200 DevOps and IT/information security professionals, only 22% of organizations have a formal DevSecOps strategy, but 62% are evaluating use cases or have a plan to implement it ...
In software delivery, there is no question that speed is important. When software teams move fast, good things happen and business value is delivered more frequently. But, speed comes with a tradeoff: complexity. As this complexity grows, how can engineering teams succeed? After analyzing millions of workflows from more than 50,000 organizations across the world, I've outlined some ways teams can start optimizing their software delivery for high performance ...
How do government agencies remedy the need for efficient, multi-cloud communications with existing on-prem solutions? And how do they do so without neglecting cybersecurity, which remains a priority for organizations handling confidential data? The answer is simple: They don't ...
Developers have been more productive than ever during the past couple of years due largely to the shift to remote work, as they often thrive in isolated workspaces and need long periods of uninterrupted focus.

Threat modeling has become an integral part of the software development process, providing developers with an opportunity to identify security threats and vulnerabilities and create logical remediation methods ... Let's look more at threat modeling, how the practice started and how it continues to flourish today ...
The broad adoption of containers and the emergence of Kubernetes as a de facto standard have pushed the boundaries of cloud native development's impact even further. Containers, though not a prerequisite for microservices, provide the right packaging for the mass adoption of microservices. As with all new tech, however, when one problem is solved, another often emerges ...
In the last six months, organizations from Microsoft to the Red Cross have been hit by cybersecurity breaches. Widespread open-source vulnerabilities, such as Log4j and Spring4shell, have also shaken the software industry, reminding us just how entwined source code has become. These recurring incidents raise the question, are we making progress in securing our software? ...
