TypeScript 4 Terrible Ways (and 4 Better Ways) to fix 'TS7016: Could not find declaration file' There's great flexibility with TypeScript — the gradual typing. You don't have to prove yourself to the compiler because it will let opt-out. But sometimes opting out is harder than other times. We've compiled eight fixes for helping to get past the errors.
automation Gradle Build Files: Consistency Over Cute, Every Time If you want to be able to take advantage of automation tooling or make your builds less of a unique snowflake in every project, start by making your Gradle build files consistent, every time. In this post, we outline why getting cute with your Gradle files is never a good idea.
how-we-work Error Handling in GraphQL Error handling in GraphQL can be surprisingly difficult. With the ability to tie together what would otherwise be many requests, we see both its greatest strength but also complexity when things go wrong. What does it mean when part of the query was successful but another part failed?
Raising Spring: An 18-Year Journey Speaking about the eighteen-year-old technology at the recent SpringOne Platform conference, Rod highlights the ideas and values that were important in creating the open source application framework. Notably, he references the ten lessons he and others learned through their journey.
Docker How Soon We Forget: Security in the Age of Docker & Kubernetes Forgetting all we learned over the past 40 years, we tell ourselves that running microservices in containers provides all the security we need. We convince ourselves that operating behind a firewall protects us from harm. What could possibly go wrong?
DevOps Managing a GitOps Flow on Kubernetes Using GitOps on Kubernetes means all your changes are reviewed and recorded, so you can move more quickly because everything is automated & all changes are easy to undo. Exposing your GitOps flow in chat means all the information you need is at your fingertips. Here's how we GitChatOps.
Incorporate the Modern World Into the Software’s World Software needs to evolve. Not only for its users but also underneath. Teams should incorporate the capabilities the world now offers and remove the custom components and infrastructure that are no longer unique to your business.
SDM Exploring the world with Aspects Let's discuss TypeScript projects. How do teams organize theirs? Where do people put TypeScript source, and where do they put their output? What is the standard? Is there a standard?
DevOps Get control of your code and process Drift is the divergence of your code and configuration from where you would want it to be, from an ideally current state. It happens over time and typically goes unnoticed until something breaks or an exploit happens. Tame drift with Atomist.
DevOps What's Lurking in Your Repositories? The monolith is crumbling. Most organizations are moving from a small number of large applications to a large number of relatively small applications. Benefits include the ability to deploy small pieces of functionality
Kubernetes Kubernetes Clusters: Pets or Cattle? When talking about treating Kubernetes clusters like cattle, people tend to focus solely on creating clusters, but what about all the resources you need to deploy? The Atomist CLI lets you fetch your resources from Kubernetes clusters so you can really treat clusters like cattle.
Continuous Delivery Making Jenkins smarter with Atomist When working with our customers, we frequently get questions around integrating Atomist into an existing Jenkins-based CI/CD environment: How does Atomist relate to Jenkins?
TypeScript Declare what you need, not what you get TL;DR: the Interface Segregation is particularly smooth in TypeScript. Use it.
Kubernetes GitOps on Kubernetes Persist Kubernetes resource changes to Git. Atomist makes deploying to Kubernetes easy in a way that is already largely consistent with GitOps best practices. There was one major part of GitOps missing: having the desired state of your system versioned in Git.

collaboration "Rely on" vs "Work with" We work with our teammates, so the world can rely on our team.
This Will Surprise You How many different Docker base images is your organization running? Which ports do your Docker containers expose? How many versions of core technologies like TypeScript or Spring Boot are you running? How many
Continuous Delivery Control vs Flexibility: what do we centralize? Centralization/decentralization is a pernicious tradeoff in development. Do we value consistency or flexibility? To defeat this tradeoff, draw the lines in the right place.
