Should you design an automation in the same language as the application or in the language your devs and testers are best at? Learn the answer and more in the latest episode of Test Case Scenario. Hanson Ho, Android Architect at Embrace, is weighing the pros and cons with us. I hope you drop in to watch.

Start the year off right.🎉 In case you missed it, here's a full recap of our 12 days of code transformation series with resources to guide your team to automating a cleaner, updated codebase in 2024 and beyond.🍾 https://hubs.ly/Q02f2tWz0

Really enjoyed this GitLab Connect event yesterday. Listened to talks from Manuel Pais (Team Topologies) 🇺🇦 🇵🇸 about the successful Team Topologies, GitLabs own Stephen Walters about Value Streams and also GitLab SA Dominique Top 👩🏼💻 about the power of GitLab. All in all met some great people and enjoyed the day!! #teamtopologies #valuestreams #gitlab #devops #devsecops #tech #ai

When evert API design first approach is discussed, a frequent question that pops up is How do we make sure that everyone, consumers and provider adheres to this API specification ? Most of the time due to unawareness teams fallback into Code First approach and use traditional time consuming API/E2E tests to make sure there are no API breakages. Here is a good session from SmartHub/PackFlow how you can use their tools to check production readiness very easily as part of your CI/CD pipeline. https://lnkd.in/dSSJrKcP

🚀 Understanding Static Pods in Kubernetes 🚀 Static Pods are an essential concept in Kubernetes and are commonly used for system-level applications and ensuring critical services run all the time. They are not managed by a api-server rather, they are directly managed by kubelet. Key Points: Deployment: The manifest file that contains the definition of static pods is present by default in this directory (/etc/kubernetes/manifests). Management: These pods are monitored and controlled by kubelet which restart them automatically if they go down. Use Cases: Useful for running crucial services such as logging agents or monitoring tools that need to be running continuously.

🚀 Optimizing Docker Builds with Multistage Builds: A Deep Dive Docker multistage builds offer a powerful way to streamline your containerized applications. 🐳 Learn how to create more lightweight and faster Docker images with this in-depth guide. 💡 Benefits of Multistage Builds: Reduced Image Size: 📉 Trim down your container size by discarding unnecessary build artifacts. Improved Security: 🔒 Enhance container security by minimizing the attack surface in your final image. Faster Build Times: ⚡ Speed up your CI/CD pipelines with quicker build and deployment processes. Efficient Maintenance: 🧹 Keep your Dockerfiles clean and maintainable by separating build and runtime concerns.

Coupler offers an alternative, simpler method to build microservices using a low-code approach. It accelerates your microservices initiative by up to 40% through a flow-based visual integration tool that rapidly and seamlessly integrates external data sources and applications. In this meetup, we discussed how easily you can create microservices using Coupler and integrate applications without writing code.
