For DevOps software developers, navigating the cloud landscape without a clear understanding of risks is equivalent to walking into a minefield blindfolded. Cloud risk management, therefore, becomes an indispensable tool for DevOps – enabling us with the ability to identify, assess, and mitigate potential threats that could jeopardize their applications, their data, and their organization’s reputation.
Every software team is constantly looking for ways to increase their velocity. DevOps has emerged as a leading methodology that combines software development and IT operations to shorten the system development life cycle and provide continuous delivery. However, ensuring software quality and security in a high-velocity environment can be challenging. This is where parallel testing comes into play.
It’s natural to want to believe that every new account creation or online purchase signals the legitimate growth of your business. But the alarming rise in financial and data losses attributed to fraud, suggests a different reality. There are thousands of bad actors actively looking to nickel and dime businesses and consumers. In 2022, a staggering 2.4 million fraud reports flooded the Consumer Sentinel Record.
DevOps is more than just a buzzword and the dev behind the magic is more than just a tech wizard who orchestrates software delivery single-handedly. Behind the curtains is an assembly line of toolchains that makes DevOps possible. 44% of DevOps teams use between 2-5 tools, with 41% using 6-10 tools. High-performing teams also tend to use more tools, resulting in faster deployment cycles and delivering multiple times a month.
Compliance is something that developers dislike. Traditionally led by risk and information security teams, compliance standard enforcement in organizations is not something software engineers are trained to do. So when the words “PCI compliance” are tossed around, for many developers it mentally translates to limitations, guardrails, bottlenecks, and drastic changes to their workflows that impact productivity. But that doesn’t have to be the case.
Step into a future where your business isn’t just operating in the cloud – it’s thriving there, bulletproofing customer trust and data like a fortress in the sky. It sounds like something from a sci-fi novel, but guess what? With the magic of cloud compliance, this futuristic vision is already coming to life. The cloud is home to 83% across the globe.
There’s one thing every developer should do – prepare for the unknown. MongoDB is a NoSQL database widely used in web development, designed to handle unstructured or semi-structured data. MongoDB’s core concept revolves around storing data in flexible, JSON-like documents, allowing developers to easily use them for different purposes. Over 87,000 companies worldwide use MongoDB, and one of the standout features is its robust support for replication.
It’s unsettling to think that our systems can betray us. With SSRF attacks, harmless-looking web requests turn into weapons for cybercriminals. They can exploit vulnerabilities from within our networks, and these attacks often slip under the radar, quietly compromising data, breaching security, and potentially leading to catastrophic consequences. SSRF attacks have hit over 100,000 businesses globally since the end of 2022, and this number will rise due to the increasing use of web applications.
Imagine you have a perfectly working Kubernetes cluster, and when everything seems on course, you get an “ImagePullBackOff” error. Although this is a popular issue in Kubernetes, understanding and troubleshooting the root cause can be a real headache. Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform originally developed by Google.
Docker has revolutionized how developers work by offering a powerful platform for creating, shipping, and running container applications. It helps developers conquer the complexity of application development and significantly increases software shipping frequency. Despite setbacks in recent years, Docker brings home $50 million in revenue every year, driven by the ongoing demand for new applications.
