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.
Continuous Delivery Data-Driven Delivery Orchestration with Containers Automating development and delivery just got a lot easier! With the recent release of SDM 1.6, we made getting started with your own SDM easier than ever. Two features in particular make

autofix Keep Documentation Code Examples Current Automatically Keeping documentation maintained is hard enough. Keeping code samples in the documentation current and working makes it even harder. Until... We recently added an autofix to our documentation's delivery machine, and some extra
collaboration From puzzles to products Note: this is a keynote from Velocity Conf 2019, San Jose. A text version of the material follows, and then references. I got into programming as a career because it was easy. I
meetup Community Happy Hours with Atomist Engineering at Mikkeller London We're hosting happy hours at Mikkeller Bar in Shoreditch this evening. Come by for a drink and high five an Atomist engineer. 🙌
collaboration Principles of Collaborative Automation I have four prerequisites for you here, and then four precautions. These principles come out of the Resilience Engineering community, and studies of collaboration in humans working together.
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.
Secure Many Projects with One Piece of Code Leakage of secrets such as API keys in GitHub repositories is dangerous. How dangerous? It once caused Uber to leak the contact details of 75m users. Bots are crawling all over GitHub seeking
release Announcing SDM 1.4 SDM 1.4 released To support the release of Project Uhura, we are happy to announce the release of SDM 1.4. Read more about Uhura in Ryan's introduction post. In addition to
Introducing Project Uhura In my last post, I wrote about Self-Service Delivery, which is an approach that makes the tools necessary to develop and deliver applications available via self-service. It makes the actions we need to
Self-Service Delivery Self-Service Delivery I remember the first time I experienced Heroku. The simplicity of deployment via Heroku was so elegant. What if we could achieve and expand upon that delightful developer experience for a more robust universe of applications?
When YAML Breeds: Distributed Denial of Productivity My last post discussed the danger of programming in YAML, with examples from the CI domain, where YAML is the norm for defining delivery pipelines. Worse still is YAML programming at scale. As
featured In Defense of YAML If you follow me on Twitter, you may think I hate YAML. I'm not against YAML, just against abuse of YAML. I want to help prevent people abusing YAML and being cruel to themselves and their coworkers in the process. YAML's strength is as a structured data format. Yes, it has issues.
