Most pipelines require secrets to authenticate with some external resources.All secrets should live outside of our code repository and should be fed directly into the pipeline. Jenkins offers a credentials store where we can keep our secrets and access them in a couple of different ways. Why dump credentials Jenkins is an easy pick when it comes to intelligence gathering. ...

Setting the stage For the last two years I’ve worked on a Node.js project. We used GitHub for source management and Jenkins for continuous integration. We also had a deployment tool based on Docker and Terraform. We have done a few improvements to the configuration during this time. One of the changes that had a positive impact was to run ...

Continuous integration (CI) can seem like a waste of time or added work that does not push features forward. But when you think about your project’s “health” and how you foresee future processes working with other developers, it leaves an underlining issue. Processes need to be automated to save us time! In the last few years, continuous integration and deployment ...

Overcome the challenge of maintaining code quality in a CI/CD workflow with Continuous Reliability CI/CD practices encourage frequent code integration in development, speed up preparations for new releases and automate deployments. And with this new tooling, these parts of the software development lifecycle have all improved and accelerated. At the same time, the data that we use to evaluate the ...

Successful teams know that CI/CD isn’t enough. With things breaking faster than ever, many are adding Continuous Reliability to their workflows. Most engineering teams have adopted an agile development practice and are pushing for shorter and faster release cycles. The difficulties associated with more frequent deployments to production, not to mention evergrowing code bases, led to the rise of Continuous ...

Chat bots are everywhere. Suddenly our messaging services are inundated with small automated systems inhabiting spaces in the domain of human-to-human communication. We can now have conversations with bots that help us buy products, book travel, make meetings, solve customer service issues, and much more. Here in Berlin, there are now two meetups dedicated to bots, and they piqued my ...
