What is CI/CD — all you need to know

The CI/CD process is now one of the essential paradigms in modern software development, oriented on delivery and quality. Continuous integration, continuous delivery, and continuous deployment benefit both software development and business. But what exactly stands behind the acronym CI/CD, and what is its added value? CI/CD stands for Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment or Continuous Delivery (CD). Although the basics of each are relatively similar, there are fundamental differences that define the key beneficiaries, and the results that can be achieved.

CI/CD tools in DevOps — which should you choose?

Automation is now a must in software development if a business wants to keep pace with dynamic market trends and customer needs. It helps with process optimization and makes the most of the budget. DevOps is an approach that allows businesses to achieve these goals as it implements a set of norms and practices. However, to make the final product really stand out, it is worth supporting the process with tools that facilitate DevOps engineers' work. CI/CD, or Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery or Continuous Deployment (CD), is one of the core paradigms in software development that benefit both process and business, thanks to its focus on delivery and quality.

Day 0/Day 1/Day 2 — the software lifecycle in the cloud age

The topic of "Day 0/Day 1/Day 2" in the context of the software lifecycle is very prominent in the professional IT media today. Presentations and conference talks are often focused on making software development processes effective and easy to manage. To do so, it is necessary to clearly define the notions that are used. The basic terms "Day 0/Day 1/Day 2" are often understood intuitively, which can introduce some ambiguity when talking about the software life cycle. For that reason, I have decided to define them more accurately to show the entire process of software development and how they are used in real projects.

CI/CD pipeline: why it makes sense for your startup

Today, the world of software and app development evolves rapidly. Both startups and larger companies keep bringing more and faster enhancements and functionality to the market to stay ahead of the competition. In order to maintain the pace of development and increase efficiency, development teams need to constantly optimize their workflow. One of the methods to both develop and sustain business reliability is the implementation of a CI/CD pipeline. It is now one of the fundamental practices for DevOps implementation in startups and one of the best practices that allow DevOps teams to deliver code more frequently and reliably.

Network monitoring challenges in heterogeneous environments

The growing complexity of network environments poses great challenges to effective network monitoring. This should come as no surprise: such environments can include bare metals (on-prem solutions), data centers, private and public clouds. Additionally, automation, orchestration and SDNs can greatly enhance your network management, but at the same time add yet another level of complexity. In this blog post, we will discuss the main challenges related to monitoring and how to solve them to streamline the entire monitoring process.

Business benefits of CI/CD

Rare releases, tons of manual work, critical bugs detected too late, ineffective and late feedback—these problems plague the software development process many companies keep in place. They can be tackled by turning to continuous integration coupled with Continuous Delivery/Continuous Deployment, which will also generate more value for your customers/clients. Read on to understand what business benefits of CI/CD you may expect in your company. In the traditional approach to software development, major releases were spread out, occurring quite rarely—every six months, for example.

Continuous monitoring and observability in CI/CD

Deploying a CI/CD pipeline is only a half success. To complete the deployment, you need to establish continuous monitoring and observability which will allow you to collect metrics and actionable insights. In this blogpost you will learn about the principles of monitoring and observability, how they are related and how automation can streamline the entire deployment process. DevOps culture is a good starting point here, as understanding the DevOps advantages and its principles will allow you to contextualize continuous monitoring and observability.

CI/CD process — how to handle it in 2021

This article was updated on 7/22/2021Both CI/CD and the benefits of automating software delivery were widely discussed during the FOSDEM conference held in Brussels on 1-2 February 2020. Our team was in the center of the action and brought back a great deal of news from the CI/CD world. Read on to learn all about it. Successfully implementing a CI/CD pipeline means measuring—measuring everything. Gathering and monitoring extended statistics allows you to have full control over what is happening in your CI/CD process.

How to set up and optimize a CI/CD pipeline

Nowadays you will hear that if you want your SDLC (Software Development Lifecycle) to be efficient, you need to have a proper, well-established CI/CD setup. In most cases, it’s true. In this blog post I am going to focus on how to go about creating such a setup when creating a new CI/CD pipeline and optimizing an existing one. I will also look at best practices to follow and outline errors to avoid. Finally, I will analyze the possible reasons why your CI/CD setup may not work as expected and propose solutions to turn things around.

Sharing configuration between your CI, build and development environments

This post is a follow-up to our presentation at the OpenStack Summit in Berlin, where we discussed maintaining a unified CI and building pipelines using the open source CI system, Zuul. You’ll find a recording of the talk here and a related OpenStack Superuser writeup here. I thought it would be useful for some of you to expand the concept of unifying environments and to include also the development one. I will also explain why this may help you ensure your project is progressing smoothly. DevOps practitioners are always on the lookout for ways to optimize and bulletproof their development workflows.
