Top Continuous Integration Tools
By Angela Stringfellow
Poorly managed development projects are bound to crash eventually. It's
likely happened to you a dozen of times already. While writing code can be a
lot of fun, managing code and dependencies can quickly become a maze of its
own when you're dealing with the continuous growth of your codebase and
feature branches. At Stackify, we aim to make the lives of developers easier
(and less frazzling). One way to de-stress your work is with the aid of
continuous integration tools.
Continuous Integration came as an adoption of a more refined programming
practice, which aims to help developers with preventing serious integration
pitfalls. As you continue to build your project, there are more things to
integrate, and back-tracking can quickly become a time-consuming chore. CI

Top DevOps Tools
By Angela Stringfellow
Even though DevOps has been around for a few years, it still is a fuzzy area
for some organizations. A mashup of development and operations teams, DevOps
centers on collaboration and a culture that seamlessly integrates developers
and IT operations teams working to put out the best new apps. Because DevOps
encompasses two teams working from ideation through product release, DevOps
tools fall into several categories including those for logging, monitoring,
automation, security, and configuration management.
Due to the intensive work DevOps e... (more)
Top Docker Tools: 51 Useful Docker Tools for Every Stage of the Development
Pipeline
By Angela Stringfellow
Docker is sweeping across startups and enterprises alike, changing the way we
build and ship applications. It's the most prominent and widely known
software container platform, and it's particularly useful for eliminating
common challenges when collaborating on code (like the "it works on my
machine" phenomenon that most devs know all too well). With Docker, you can
run and manage apps side-by-side - in isolated containers - resulting in
better compute density. It's someth... (more)
Best Cloud Tools for Infrastructure Automation
By Angela Stringfellow
There are two main reasons for infrastructure automation. First, system
administrators, IT professionals and DevOps engineers need to automate as
many routine tasks as possible. That's why we build tools at Stackify to help
developers automate processes like application performance management, error
monitoring, and log management; automation means you have more time for
mission-critical tasks. Second, automation makes the management of complex,
diverse environments possible and allows rapid scaling.

What Is Function-as-a-Service? Serverless Architectures Are Here
By Matt Watson
It has never been a better time to be a developer. Thanks to cloud computing,
deploying our applications is much easier than it used to be. How we deploy
our apps continues to evolve thanks to cloud hosting, Platform-as-a-Service
(PaaS), and now Function-as-a-Service.
What Is Function-as-a-Service (FaaS)?
FaaS is the concept of serverless computing via serverless architectures.
Software developers can leverage this to deploy an individual "function",
action, or piece of business logic. They are expected... (more)
