What are quality gates? How to use quality gates to deliver better software at speed and scale

Dynatrace

FEBRUARY 21, 2024

To remain competitive in today’s fast-paced market, organizations must not only ensure that their digital infrastructure is functioning optimally but also that software deployments and updates are delivered rapidly and consistently. They help foster confidence and consistency throughout the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC).

Even when the staging environment closely mirrors the production environment, achieving a complete replication of all potential scenarios, such as simulating extremely high traffic volumes to assess software performance, remains challenging. This can lead to a lack of insight into how the code will behave when exposed to heavy traffic.

Common SLO pitfalls and how to avoid them

FEBRUARY 2, 2022

This demand creates an increasing need for DevOps teams to maintain the performance and reliability of critical business applications. A broken SLO with no owner can take longer to remediate and is more likely to recur compared to an SLO with an owner and a well-defined remediation process. But there are SLO pitfalls.

OCTOBER 28, 2021

Chaos engineering is a method of testing distributed software that deliberately introduces failure and faulty scenarios to verify its resilience in the face of random disruptions. Practitioners subject software to a controlled, simulated crisis to test for unstable behavior. Chaos engineers ask why. The history of chaos engineering.

OCTOBER 15, 2021

OpenTelemetry (also referred to as OTel) is an open-source observability framework made up of a collection of tools, APIs, and SDKs, that enables IT teams to instrument, generate, collect, and export telemetry data for analysis and understand software performance and behavior. In-process exporter. Monitoring begins here.

In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, ensuring high-quality software is crucial for organizations to thrive. Service level objectives (SLOs) provide a powerful framework for measuring and maintaining software performance, reliability, and user satisfaction. But the pressure on CIOs to innovate faster comes at a cost.

Reinventing Performance Testing: Agile

Alex Podelko

OCTOBER 13, 2016

The difference between user stories and constraints approaches is not in performance requirements per se, but how to address them during the development process. From the performance testing side the problem is that performance engineering teams don’t scale well, even assuming that they are competent and effective.

With limited visibility, teams have a narrow understanding of how those decisions impact other software components and vice-versa. The key driver behind this change in architecture was the need to release better software faster. A database could start executing a storage management process that consumes database server resources.

Specialisation could be around products, business process, or technologies. One way to create a Spotify model inspired engineering organisation is to organise long-lived squads by retail business process hubs - i.e. specialisation around business process. Is it possible to draw inspiration from outside of software engineering?

When trying to develop a new piece of software or an app, one of the first things a developer has to do is pick a programming language. This means that the primary aim of this programming language is to both gather data and manipulate it as it is processed. The Performance Factor. Guest Post by Wendy Dessler. Source- Pixabay.

Organizations use it to collect and send data to a backend, such as Dynatrace, that can analyze software performance and behavior. Now, developers can build software libraries and use OpenTelemetry to add tracing and telemetry directly into them so an observability analytics backend, such as Dynatrace, can consume the data immediately.
