Trunk-based development: best practices and strategies

All development teams strive for an agile, flexible, and efficient software development process. There are many ways to achieve it. Trunk-based development is one of the more modern approaches that is gaining attention. Let’s take a closer look at what it is, how it works, and what benefits it can bring your team. Trunk-based development is a management practice. It is a source-control branching model focusing on a single branch of code called the trunk. Trunk-based development aims to keep the trunk ready for deployment at all times.

SRE vs. DevOps — what’s the difference?

DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) are two approaches in modern software development and operations. DevOps is a methodology that embraces lean and agile principles, focusing on continuous delivery and automation throughout the software development life cycle. This approach enables frequent releases and efficient software development and deployment processes. In 2003 SRE emerged as a solution designed to support the construction of large-scale applications. Today, SRE involves a team of experts with development backgrounds, applying engineering practices to tackle common challenges in production systems.

Tungsten Fabric is closing down — what next?

Tungsten Fabric is an open-source project developed under the umbrella of the Linux Foundation. It serves as an important part of many network infrastructures. The project is, however, ending its development. Due to the community’s decision, active development and project services have ceased but the resources will remain accessible until August 1, 2024.

Platform engineering — everything you need to know

As the popularity of cloud-native applications rises steadily, software development becomes a more and more complex process. With multiple smaller autonomous teams working on separate components of your application, where each team often has a different tech stack, an isolated codebase, and even separate release procedures, it is not surprising that the amount of overhead snowballs too. Modern DevOps best practices like containerization, automated continuous deployment, infrastructure as code, and others allow developers to shorten the release cycle and develop cloud-native applications in any type of cloud environment, using complex architectures, especially those based on microservices.

Reliability engineering — its significance and key principles

Choosing a product or a service to buy is a complex process. Your own tastes play an important role, of course, but very often product reliability is what impacts your decision most of all. It is especially important when you are looking at something that can potentially serve you for many years to come. Nobody likes spending a ton of money on a device that works right now but will fail in a couple of months. However, we can all agree that nothing lasts forever. Any product or system can fail, which is why warranties exist.

Essential monitoring metrics for better decision-making

Any company dealing with software development knows the importance of reliable infrastructure. Whether you have multiple environments for testing and production which are needed to allow your own teams to work without interruptions or you provide mobile or web services to customers, you will have to keep an eye on your systems. So it goes without saying, you will need a good monitoring system to make sure your systems and infrastructure keep performing as they should. But modern monitoring systems provide tons of raw data when the performance metrics are collected.

How the rapid application development model helps boost your business growth

With rapid growth and teams starting to expand, businesses often see the need to improve and speed up software development processes. At some point, you need a solution that is cost-efficient, agile in nature, and low-to-no code because traditional development methodologies don’t cut it any longer. This is when rapid application development comes in. It focuses on developing rapidly through frequent iterations and continuous feedback. How to implement it properly? What are the advantages of such a methodology?

[interview] How to use data to navigate complex systems better? Talking about monitoring and observability.

In today's constantly developing technological landscape, businesses are looking for solutions that help them manage complex systems and ensure optimal performance. However, although 90% of IT professionals believe observability is important and strategic to their business, only 26% said their observability practice was mature. Why this difference? What are the reasons why businesses don’t manage to implement monitoring and observability at a high level? In this interview, we explore the significance of monitoring and observability - our guests Edyta Kałka, Senior Engineering Manager, and Maciej Manturewicz, Director of Engineering, will share their insights, real-world experiences, and opinions on how to create effective monitoring and observability solutions.

Prototype vs. Final Product: key differences and similarities

Prototypes and final products hold distinct roles in the development process. In this article, we will delve into their differences, similarities, the dynamics between them, and the importance of incorporating a prototyping phase in your product’s development. Please keep in mind this article focuses on a product-centered approach. Prototype has a different meaning for backend development. Let’s start by understanding the concepts:A prototype is a preliminary version or early model of a product. In software development, a prototype is a digital simulation of an application or system, created to test the functionality, user experience, and to validate the design and interface.

The PoC concept for software testing automation

Introducing automation into any stage of the software development workflow has great potential. It can be exactly what your team needs to save a lot of time and effort, and, as a result, money. Test automation can arguably be especially beneficial, since covering all the test cases manually is non an optimal use of resources. But choosing the right automation tools for your software testing is not a quick and simple process. Testing tool evaluation without a PoC can take weeks and at the end you might still get a tool with certain limitations that won’t make it the right fit for your project.
