When the world went remote, studios needed to limit the number of people on set. To support the shift to remote work, teams needed to learn and implement new software tools. Game technology — like Unreal Engine and Unity — were powerful enough to meet the demands for this rapidly changing industry. But what else does a virtual production setup need?

In previous posts, we covered the basics of a C++ Microservices deployment including: With those basics in place, this blog will focus on optimization of the container in a C++ Microservices deployment. We'll examine how to structure the Dockerfile and the resulting Docker image to reduce the number of layers and disk space used.

When it comes to learning a new software, there are often more questions than answers. Getting started, setting up your environment, and learning how and when to use the tool are just the beginning. To top it off, many of us now work from home with limited access to our teams. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Listed below are the top questions that have come through our customer care center over the last few months, as well as the solutions. Don’t see your question?

As you may or may not know, Atlassian is accelerating their Journey to the Cloud. This has some important implications to anyone who uses Atlassian Server based products, including apps. Read on to learn how we support customers of Zephyr for Jira and Zephyr Scale as they transition to Cloud.

By now you've heard that Atlassian is deprecating its server products. For Jira users who cannot or do not want to move to the Cloud, this is troubling news. Data Center is an option, but it's quite an expensive alternative if you do not need its minimum 500 users. Then again, it's quite disruptive to migrate to a new tool, isn't it? No one wants to interrupt their workflow by changing tools — especially one that is so central to daily operations. But it does not have to be so scary.

Many development teams today know that the Perforce name has roots with version control. But the company does so much more. Today, Perforce helps enterprises succeed by delivering world-class solutions and support they need to accelerate digital transformation, innovate at scale, and achieve DevOps success. In this blog, we cover how the company has evolved. Read along or jump to the section that interests you most.

For years now, enterprises have embarked on their own unique digital transformation journeys. They’ve worked to evolve processes and methodologies, to securely move applications and systems to the cloud, and to speed up cycles to deliver more, faster, and win in their markets. But 2020 was a pivotal year. The pace of change went on fast forward. Suddenly, teams were even more distributed than ever before. Flexibility became an imperative. Remote collaboration was required.

Many people think because we’re an online business, with technology at the heart of everything we do, we’d be better placed than many to make the transition from in-person meetings to virtual meetings during the pandemic. Whilst we have made that leap and made it work well, it’s not because we’re au fait with tech and the latest tools, it’s quite the opposite.

Performance testing has become increasingly distributed, as teams do more testing at each stage of the software development life cycle. While the business benefits of performance testing are undeniable, like finding defects earlier when it’s easier and less expensive to fix them — it makes managing all your tests more challenging.

It was January 2007 when Steve Jobs officially announced the 1st Generation iPhone. At the time, there’s no doubt that he foresaw how the newly created concept of smartphone applications would become part of our everyday life. Fast forward a decade and we now have apps for literally everything, from trackable maps to online shopping, online banking to instant messaging.
