Developer experience (DX) — the ability for developers to easily do their essential tasks — has become crucial for attracting and retaining talent. Skilled developers are in short supply, but demand for their expertise continues growing. I've seen companies forced to maximize their current workforce while competing globally for talent. I also consistently see companies unknowingly damaging their DX through poor processes in overlooked areas.

Version control, also known as “source control”, is a way of tracking, managing, and safeguarding changes to digital assets over time, so teams can collaborate efficiently without losing work or overwriting changes. Version control software automates this process, making it faster, safer, and more collaborative. But its real power goes beyond simple file history. It’s how teams stay in sync, move faster, and avoid losing work, especially when the pressure's on and deadlines are looming.

Find out which aerospace and defense industry trends you need to know. In this blog, we recap key aerospace and defense industry trends — and explore strategies to help you keep up.

As enterprises scale their DevOps initiatives, DevOps bottlenecks are emerging from an unexpected source: inadequate test data management practices. But what can you do about it? In this blog, we will explore the common drawbacks in traditional test data management practices. Then, let’s dive into how real-life enterprises are overcoming DevOps bottlenecks with proven solutions that accelerate delivery and reduce operational risks.

Intellectual property (IP) in semiconductor design refers to reusable design components that can be integrated into a larger chipan IC, SoC, or chiplet. These design blocks may be developed in-house or licensed from third-party vendors and are used in system-on-chip (SoC) design and production. With growing SoC complexity, increased market demand, and the rapid pace of innovation, adopting an IP-centric design approach is critical for staying competitive.

Common Vulnerability and Exposures (CVE) collects known cybersecurity vulnerabilities and exposures to help you to better safeguard your embedded software. This framework is central to managing security threats effectively. Here, we explain what is CVE, unpack the role of CVE identifiers, examine the differences of CVE vs. CWE, expand on the CVE list, and outline how identifying vulnerabilities early in software development can be achieved with the right static analysis tools.

Right now, the insurance industry faces an urgent cybersecurity threat: Scattered Spider. The financially motivated hacking group has rapidly shifted its focus after preying on retail companies in the U.K. and U.S. Now, it is targeting insurance companies. The danger is clear. Insurance firms manage exactly what cybercriminals want: vast amounts of sensitive customer data.

The longstanding Common Vulnerability and Exposure (CVE) database has vitally guided security teams for over 20 years, connecting cybersecurity experts, developers, vendors, and researchers in their shared ability to track unknown vulnerabilities in software. But in April of 2025, the MITRE CVE database program was in jeopardy. U.S. government funding for CVE, managed by MITRE and sponsored by CISA, was set to expire. Only in the 11th hour was funding secured, and the contract extended — for now.

Dev teams often face delays of days or even weeks waiting for database refreshes. The result? Blocked sprint deadlines and delayed releases. Traditional database provisioning methods often create bottlenecks in DevOps pipelines where speed matters most. But there is a solution to this problem: database cloning. It provides fast, space-efficient copies that speed up development velocity.
