DevOps and CI/CD
The cultural movement that is DevOps — which, in short, encourages close collaboration among developers, IT operations, and system admins — also encompasses a set of tools, techniques, and practices. As part of DevOps, the CI/CD process incorporates automation into the SDLC, allowing teams to integrate and deliver incremental changes iteratively and at a quicker pace. Together, these human- and technology-oriented elements enable smooth, fast, and quality software releases. This Zone is your go-to source on all things DevOps and CI/CD (end to end!).
Cloud Architecture
Cloud architecture refers to how technologies and components are built in a cloud environment. A cloud environment comprises a network of servers that are located in various places globally, and each serves a specific purpose. With the growth of cloud computing and cloud-native development, modern development practices are constantly changing to adapt to this rapid evolution. This Zone offers the latest information on cloud architecture, covering topics such as builds and deployments to cloud-native environments, Kubernetes practices, cloud databases, hybrid and multi-cloud environments, cloud computing, and more!
Security
The topic of security covers many different facets within the SDLC. From focusing on secure application design to designing systems to protect computers, data, and networks against potential attacks, it is clear that security should be top of mind for all developers. This Zone provides the latest information on application vulnerabilities, how to incorporate security earlier in your SDLC practices, data governance, and more.
