Checks

Production readiness is well-understood as the gold standard, but teams are often too busy with day-to-day tasks to make meaningful progress on this initiative. In this guide, we'll talk through how you can start building a culture of service maturity in your organization covering challenges, solutions, and how to get devs on board.

All over the globe, teams are scrambling right now to triage the impact of the recently announced Log4j vulnerability on their services and applications. Rather than reinvent the wheel, here’s a snippet from an informative Cloudflare blog post that puts CVE-2021-44228 in context:

Improving your microservice security isn’t like improving the security of a monolith application. Microservices provide lots of flexibility for application developers.

Snyk is rapidly becoming the de facto standard for businesses that want to build security into their continuous software development processes. And with their developer-first tooling and best-in-class security intelligence, it’s no surprise.

Over the last decade, shrinking feedback loops have been a core part of building and delivering software. Across every phase of development and delivery, software engineering organizations are getting faster answers to questions like:

Over the last week, the team at OpsLevel completed its largest HackDay ever. OpsLevelers demoed 15 different projects, spanning everything from our infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines to our Applicant Tracking System and assets for acquiring and onboarding customers. Even our CEO carved out time to write some code–though he admitted his UI was lacking.

Engineering initiatives are a necessity when it comes to ensuring security, reliability, and keeping the lights on within an organization. These can include actions such as upgrading library versions, migrating everyone to a new metrics provider, or upgrading a framework.

With our Git Repository integration, OpsLevel can continuously scan your code repositories and verify all of the operational best practices you’ve defined. Previously, we’ve shown you a Repo File Check, which can be used to verify that a given file exists in your repo, or verify that it contains some specific text.

After setting up a Git Repository Integration, OpsLevel can continuously scan your code repositories and verify all of the operational best practices you’ve defined. Along with the integration comes two new checks: the Repo File Check and the Repo Search Check.
