GitHub has announced that its improved pull request merge experience is generally available, marking a significant advancement for development teams focused on streamlining their workflows. The update provides clearer visibility into pull request statuses and accelerates the merging process — addressing key pain points DevOps professionals encounter daily.The enhanced interface supports all existing merge methods, including direct merges, bypass and merge options, auto-merge functionality and merge queues. Importantly, it continues to work seamlessly with GitHub’s rulesets to enforce compliance requirements before code can be merged.Key Improvements Driving DevOps EfficiencyThe redesigned merge experience brings several notable improvements that directly benefit DevOps…
RapDev founder Tameem Hourani dives into what it really takes for software engineering teams to develop and deploy complex software at scale.Hourani talks about the challenges of maintaining a blameless culture in DevOps, even as software complexity continues to grow. The discussion explores how teams can strike a balance between rapid innovation and system resilience while avoiding a culture of finger-pointing when failures occur.He also emphasizes that failures are inevitable and should be treated as opportunities to strengthen systems rather than assign blame. He discusses strategies for building resilient architectures, such as feature toggles, blue-green deployments, and A/B testing, which…
In today’s fast-paced development world, database issues can quickly become a developer’s worst nightmare. A single inefficient query or poorly optimized index can bring applications to a grinding halt, causing frustration for both development teams and end-users. Recognizing this critical pain point, Dynatrace has made a strategic move by acquiring Metis, an AI-driven database observability platform – a development that promises to transform how DevOps teams handle database performance and reliability.The Power of AI-Driven Database ObservabilityThe acquisition, announced on March 5, 2025, integrates Metis’ specialized AI technology into Dynatrace’s robust observability platform. This combination creates a comprehensive solution that addresses…
In early February, threat researchers with developer-focused security platform provider Socket detailed a three-year-old typosquatting campaign in which bad actors targeted developers with a backdoor that impersonated a widely used database module written in the Go programming language.A month later, the researchers are out with a report of another campaign in which the threat actor is using typosquatted Go packages, this time to get developers to inadvertently install malware loaders onto systems running Linux and macOS operating systems.According to Kirill Boychenko, a senior threat intelligence analyst with Socket, the cybercriminal has published at least seven malicious packages on the Go…
When it comes to game development, Python is a giant among programs and a go-to choice for developers starting out in game development. Initially, developers used the program to develop 2D games and pursue indie gaming projects, but as time has gone by, Python has become more advanced while still retaining the attributes that make it so attractive in the first place.Python has come a long way since the simpler capabilities of the program. Today, while using Python it’s possible to create games that work across different platforms, combine Python with other languages, such as C++ and C#, and even…
A survey of 700 engineering leaders (350) and developers (350) from the U.S. and United Kingdom (UK) conducted by Harness finds less than half have access to real-time insights into idle cloud resources (43%), unused or orphaned resources (39%), and over or under-provisioned workloads (33%).More troubling still, more than half of the application developers (55%) said purchasing decisions are ultimately based on guesswork and 32% have fully automated practices to enforce cost savings. On the plus side, 62% of developers want more control over, and responsibility for, managing cloud infrastructure costs.Overall, half of all respondents (52%) admitted there is a…
Key Takeaways: Application performance monitoring (APM) was built for a world that no longer exists—where applications ran in controlled environments. Cloud, APIs and the Internet are the substrate of digital experiences today, making Internet Performance Monitoring (IPM) an attractive approach to achieving the true visibility required to ensure reliability, resilience and user satisfaction.APM Was Great, Until it Wasn’tApplication performance monitoring has been a cornerstone of IT operations for decades, tracking application health and troubleshooting performance issues. And for a long time, it has been enough. When APM was born, applications lived in a controlled environment—on-premises, usually monolithic, running on dedicated…
