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.

This demand creates an increasing need for DevOps teams to maintain the performance and reliability of critical business applications. Setting a stringent SLO for an application that’s not business-critical can lead to wasted time and resources when it comes to remediating issues or performing tasks to ensure uptime.

What is chaos engineering?

Dynatrace

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.

Reinventing Performance Testing: Agile

Alex Podelko

OCTOBER 13, 2016

I am looking forward to share my thoughts on ‘Reinventing Performance Testing’ at the imPACt performance and capacity conference by CMG held on November 7-10, 2016 in La Jolla, CA. While it was always recommended to start performance testing earlier, it was usually rather few activities you can do before the system is ready.

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. What is telemetry data?

SEPTEMBER 4, 2018

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.

With observability, teams can understand what part of a system is performing poorly and how to correct the problem. Traces provide performance data about tasks that are performed by invoking a series of services. The key driver behind this change in architecture was the need to release better software faster.

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.
