We are happy to announce the release of Kuma 0.5! We are particularly proud for this release since it introduces about 30 new features and many improvements and – as usual – every Kuma improvement is always available on both Kubernetes and Universal (VMs) modes. This version of Kuma also ships with a new logo for the project! The new logo for Kuma signifies a new era for the project, driven by more feature maturity as well as more adoption within the community.

We are thrilled to announce Bugfender’s new javascript SDK for the frontend, which applies the simplicity of our mobile SDKs to web applications. Bugfender JS has all the features that you already know from iOS and the Android SDKs, enabling you to: In this blog, we’re going to tell you how to access our new SDK, provide a quick overview of its benefits, and bring you up to speed with the evolution of the Bugfender project.

If you have worn the Platform or Security Engineer badge, or if you have a Sec/Ops role, you might have experienced something like this at some point in your career. Hopefully not. You receive a call at 3am, it’s your SOC, something’s not right. Oh sh*t! There’s unidentified traffic on the network from an unknown host and it’s communicating with a remote server. Sounds like a Level 3 exfiltration. It’s gonna be a long night.

Imagine being out on a Saturday morning, drinking coffee and catching some sun when a message on Slack from a colleague tells you about an incident on your Kafka infrastructure. Fortunately, you are able to identify the problem and correct it from where you are but wouldn't it be good to know about that Kafka broker going down at the time that this has happened? Is there a way to prevent that from happening again? Yes, there is: Lenses alerts.

People intuitively know that self-driving or autonomous cars present complex engineering challenges. Vehicle assembly is the easy part – we’ve been doing that for 100 years. The real challenge is a data challenge, acquiring and managing the data needed to run the vehicles’ brain, eyes, and ears. Autonomous driving technology complexity lies in the ability to ingest, store, analyze, and deploy large volumes of data & the high bandwidth needs of data-in-motion.

Over the years software tools, testing frameworks, and development practices have evolved to meet new challenges. This shift means testing is happening earlier in the software development lifecycle with developers increasingly taking on more responsibility for testing with a focus on speed. That’s why we’re excited to announce the expansion of our developer-first test capabilities.
