Transforming DevOps for Scientific Innovation:Materials Project's Cloud-Native Journey to 500K Users

The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) stands at the forefront of scientific discovery, driving innovations across energy, physics, biology, and computational research. The project harnesses the power of supercomputing and state-of-the-art methods to provide open web-based access to computed information on known and predicted materials..

DevOps Maturity Model: Key Stages, Challenges, and Best Practices

Technology is changing very quickly. Businesses that do not update their software delivery processes may lose their competitive edge. Traditional IT models depend on manual processes and separate teams. They struggle to meet market demands. This leads to delayed deployments, frequent failures, and inefficiencies in operations. Meanwhile, organizations that have fully embraced DevOps principles and automation are achieving remarkable efficiency and resilience.

Ephemeral Environment Testing: Do you need it?

Traditional testing methods often delay the software development lifecycle, as we have grown used to these outdated processes without considering alternatives. Ephemeral environments introduce a more efficient solution. They allow for the quick creation and dismantling of isolated testing environments. These isolated environments approach leads to faster and more productive development cycles while still delivering high-quality software to users. In this article, we'll explore ephemeral environments, how they work, and why they might be the solution your team needs.

DevOps Implementation Plan: Key Steps, Tools, and Best Practices

Why would a well-running business consider DevOps Implementation? Implementing DevOps promotes swift software building and shipping through iterative outcomes and individual changes. For instance, the team scheduled a midnight deployment. However, an unexpected bug caused a system crash. The team spent hours fixing the issues and restoring services. The next question is, could we have prevented this?

How to Automate Flutter Code Push with Shorebird and Codemagic

In this article, I will introduce the steps to integrate Shorebird with Codemagic CI/CD, using the Codemagic Workflow Editor. You will be able to incorporate a workflow that allows code push of Dart code changes without requiring installation from the store. In the following example, changes to the text displayed in the user interface are reflected immediately.

What Is Shadow Traffic? All You Need to Know

Production traffic can often be unpredictable, and distinguishing genuine user interactions from mere noise becomes a pivotal step in comprehensively grasping the types of requests and workflows occurring within your deployment. One important concept to explore in this context is shadow traffic, which plays a significant role in analytics and cybersecurity but is often misunderstood or rarely discussed.

Using Python MockServer for API Testing

Using a mock server is a popular method of working around these limitations and realities, allowing you to test web server assets against specific requests, ensuring that your response data matches the expected outcome. Today, we’re going to look at a powerful solution for Python clients in the form of MockServer. We’ll walk through the tool’s basics and learn how to use it for your own testing.

Intro to proxymock, a free traffic-based service mocking tool within VS Code.

Speedscale's proxymock is a free VS Code plugin that passively listens to transactions, so developers can replay past responses or inbound transactions like a time machine. Past transactions can serve as non-rate-limited service mocks, editable databases, or even regression/load/chaos tests. Building service mocks to serve as service virtualization/mocks can be time consuming and manual. Maintaining complex, shared environments for engineering incurs expensive cloud costs and aren't often accurate.

Ultimate Guide to Creating a JSON Mock API for Testing

Using a JSON mock allows you to avoid using fake data or simulating interactions, resulting in better final output and stronger data flows. Today, we’re going to dive into the process of creating a mock API using JSON data and tools like JSON-server. This guide will help you understand the basics of this process and get started quickly with your own mock API, allowing you to speed up development and testing without relying on a live backend.

The Benefits of Continuous Integration: A Guide to Streamlining Your Business

DevOps is the delivery process that focuses on the cross-functional approach of building and shipping applications in a faster manner through automation of infrastructure, workflow as well as performance evaluation. One of the most essential components of DevOps is CI/CD, which acronym for continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD).
