How to Perform Load Testing with k6 using Buddy CI/CD

In this guide, we'll look at adding performance testing to your development workflow with Buddy and k6. k6 is an open-source load testing tool for testing the performance of APIs, microservices, and websites. Developers can use k6 to test a system's performance under a particular load to catch performance regressions or errors.

Blue-Green, Rolling, and Canary: Continuous Deployments Explained

If you still rely on big-bang deployments or are ever afraid to break your production environment when you push changes, then it is seriously time to invest in building a strong CI/CD pipeline. Pushing changes quickly and often is critical. The best way to mitigate the risks of new releases is to have a strong deployment strategy in place. Continuous deployment automates the deployment process, which lets you deliver new features and improvements to your applications faster than before.

How to Deploy an API Gateway Within a CI/CD Pipeline

Continuous integration and continuous deployment—known colloquially as CI/CD—are essential strategies for building modern software applications. The goal of these processes is to foster a culture of continuous updates. CI is the process by which an external machine (not your local development environment) fetches your app and dependencies and then runs a test suite to ensure everything in your application builds and runs correctly.

Online Meetup: Controlling your Kong Gateway with decK and CI/CD

In this session, DevRel Director Micheal Heap will show you Kong’s declarative configuration capabilities and how to use your CI system to lint and apply these configurations in a variety of environments. Test your changes in a staging environment, then apply exactly the same config to production with a click of a button.

Keep all your team secrets in one place with global variables

This video will teach you how to store sensitive values. Codemagic has added a Global variables and secrets section to the team settings page so you can manage all your secrets in one place for your codemagic.yaml files. This means you will only have to update that expired certificate in one place, instead of all your apps.

Rollbar Tip of the Day: Auto-Resolve

Simplify your error management workflow and configure Rollbar to automatically resolve items on deploy, or set an inactivity timer to resolve items if they have not occurred in a certain number of days. Rollbar is the leading continuous code improvement platform that proactively discovers, predicts, and remediates errors with real-time AI-assisted workflows. With Rollbar, developers continually improve their code and constantly innovate rather than spending time monitoring, investigating, and debugging.

Integrate Performance Tests Into CI/CD Using Github Actions

We have already wrote previously about how you can automate your testing routines without using the graphical interface but by using Loadero API instead. In this blog post we will show how you can integrate performance and load tests into your CI/CD workflows with the help of Github Actions. Github Actions allow you to automate and execute your development workflows directly from your repository which makes the integration very simple.
