Low-code solutions often accelerate development and make tasks accessible to people who can’t or don’t want to write their own code. But it’s important to remember that it’s a trade-off. You are often trading decreased development and maintenance time for limited configuration options and minimal monitoring capabilities. Low-code solutions are great…until they aren’t. Low-code tools speed up development efforts but obscure the actual code, including many configurations.I’d like to share a recent example of when a low-code solution I built in Azure Data Factory caused a bit of a mess with no way to diagnose or fix the issue. Don’t…

Cary, NC, March 24th, 2025, CyberNewsWireINE Security, a global provider of cybersecurity training and certification, today announced its initiative to spotlight the increasing cyber threats targeting healthcare institutions. In recognition of National Physicians Week 2025, the company is drawing attention to new industry data showing a sharp rise in cyberattacks on hospitals and clinics—incidents that have cost the healthcare sector millions and posed significant risks to patient safety and trust.Recent reports show healthcare has endured a record wave of cyber breaches. In 2023 alone, there were 725 hacking-related breaches reported in U.S. healthcare, according to The HIPPA Journal, exposing over…
Often we find out about a problem reported by a customer after the incident has passed. This might be from a trouble ticket or even an email that we didn’t see until a period of time has passed.How can we look back at the activity of a server in the past? This post looks how a DBA can time travel back to a situation that occurred in the past.This is part of a series of posts on Redgate Monitor.

DevOps.com is now providing a weekly DevOps jobs report through which opportunities for DevOps professionals will be highlighted as part of an effort to better serve our audience.Our goal in these challenging economic times is to make it just that much easier for DevOps professionals to advance their careers.Of course, the pool of available DevOps talent is still relatively constrained, so when one DevOps professional takes on a new role, it tends to create opportunities for others.The five job postings shared this week are selected based on the company looking to hire, the vertical industry segment and naturally, the pay…
Perforce Software this week acquired Snowtrack, a provider of version control software used by application designers, to foster greater collaboration with software engineering teams.Brad Hart, a business unit vice president at Perforce, said the Snowtrack offering, rechristened P4 One, will now become an extension of the existing Perforce version control platform that software engineering teams rely on to track updates to applications.The overall goal is to make it simpler for software engineering teams and designers to collaboratively build applications by reducing the number of instances where versions of designs have been overwritten or simply lost, said Hart.In the absence of…
Keeping up with the fast-paced digital landscape has never been easier, and no company wants to be a victim of a security breach or vulnerability. With rapid technological advancements, traditional security measures find it challenging to manage security after transitioning to a DevSecOps culture. By incorporating aspects of artificial intelligence (AI) into the DevSecOps pipeline, businesses can automate routine tasks and adopt a more proactive approach to threat detection and mitigation. This article examines how businesses can secure their development pipelines by integrating AI into DevSecOps. What is DevSecOps? DevSecOps is a software development methodology that blends development (Dev), security (Sec) and operations (Ops)…
British software developer and international public speaker on software development, Martin Fowler, once famously said, “Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand.” His book ‘Refactoring’ has been a best seller for decades and is a guide on how to transform code safely and rapidly, helping developers build better code. Exactly these same principles should apply when looking to develop an API-first approach to software engineering. But first, what do we mean by an API-first approach? This is a software development method that prioritizes the design of APIs before writing any other…
For years, DAST was the go-to approach for identifying vulnerabilities in web applications. But let’s be honest, DAST has built up quite a bad reputation. If you have ever worked with traditional DAST solutions, you would know the pain: Slow and Disruptive: Scanning with DAST often feels like waiting for paint to dry —except, at the end of it, your engineers are bombarded with false positives which ultimately waste their time. Quality Issues: It is not just the slowness; it is the lack of depth. Traditional DAST tools are notorious for missing modern threats while flagging non-issues that don’t put applications at…
I was asked about state-based deployments in Flyway Teams, so I decided to show how this can work with a quick demo. This post walks through the process.I’ve been working with Flyway and Flyway Desktop for work more and more as we transition from older SSMS plugins to the standalone tool. This series looks at some tips I’ve gotten along the way.A Steady StateI have a Flyway project setup already in Teams. I’ve refreshed the screen and as you can see here, there aren’t any differences between my database and my project in version control.In SSMS, I’ll create a new…
