Let’s say you have the exact configuration file of that simulation in your hand. Out of curiosity, you add some text to the configuration file, and BOOM, your appearance change; you grow a bit taller, achieving that dream built of yours. Sounds magical, right? This is what DevOps Configuration Management is about.

Software testing has become increasingly complex thanks to the twin threat of growing complexity and higher user expectations.

Let's look at what end-to-end testing involves and how you can use Cypress and BitBar to streamline the process.

“Good software, like wine, takes time” – Avram Joel Spolsky But do we have that much time? The statement was perfect when SDLC still relied on the waterfall and agile methodologies.

And CI/CD is the modern software development practice every DevOps engineer swears by.

Kubernetes is a powerful platform that comes with many features to help engineers run their applications more efficiently. However, as you gain more experience and deploy more workloads, you’ll inevitably start looking for ways to optimize Kubernetes performance. There are many ways to approach optimization. On one hand, you could work exclusively with the tools and configurations provided by Kubernetes itself; on the other, you could reap the benefits of third-party tools.
