The Death of DevOps Has Been Greatly Exaggerated, but Platform Engineering Is Here to Stay

No, DevOps is not dead, and anyone who says anything different is selling something. However, the kernel of truth beneath the obnoxious hype is this: there is a post-devops era on the horizon, and platform engineering is at its vanguard. Let’s talk about the tectonic shifts in infrastructure, reliability, and product that are reshuffling the landscape of engineering roles, and in particular, what that means for those of us who have made a career on the operations/devops/SRE/DBRE side of the house.

From Intern to DevOps Engineer: Lessons Learned in My First Two Years

I quickly learned that my Computer Science degree barely prepared me for a career in DevOps. As an intern at The New York Times, I joined the Cloud Infrastructure team and was thrown into the deep end. I had used AWS before to deploy a simple app in a class, but I had yet to learn how these deployments happened at the scale of a company like the New York Times.

How to Secure Your CICD Pipeline in 2023

In January, CircleCI was breached. Many teams spent a large part of January rotating secrets and looking for indicators of compromise (IoCs). I think this breach is a really big deal, because it is really exposing the (often massive) attack surface created by our CICD pipelines. I think it’s time that we, as a community, sit down and think through how we want to architect and secure our CICD pipelines. Because this isn’t just about CircleCI.

Breaking Up Is(n't) Hard to Do: Separating Releases From Deploys With Vendor Neutral Feature Flags

Most devops professionals and software engineers have probably hidden an unreleased feature behind an environment variable, but feature flags are so much more than that! Learn how OpenFeature, a vendor neutral standard for feature flags can reduce risk, speed delivery, support compliance, and enable experimentation. Get started using a feature flag solution leveraging open source, git-ops friendly, cloud-native tools.

How to Make Kubernetes Rhyme With Prod Readiness

One might naively think that to deploy a production app on Kubernetes, all one needs is a Kubernetes cluster. Indeed, before going to production, we’ll need a Kubernetes cluster, and therefore, we’ll need to make a few decisions: on premises or on cloud? Managed or self-hosted? But there is way more to it because our new cluster will almost always require a few additions before being truly production-ready. Even if we choose a state-of-the-art managed cluster from a leading cloud provider, we still need to add something to handle logging and metrics.
