It is annoying when you notice that your build durations are gradually increasing but y

This guest post is brought to you by Stiltsoft. Have you ever thought about how much time you spend switching contexts at work? While it seems to be a lot by itself, it also eats up your overall productivity. And it can be even more frustrating if it happens in the context of CI\CD, which is all about delivering software faster and more reliably without burdening you with manual work. Today we want to show you how the TeamCity users who also use Bitbucket can reduce the time spent switching and get functionality that will help increase developers' velocity. TeamCity Integration for Bi

This guest blog post is brought to you by Alex Zhitnitsky, Director of Product Marketing at OverOps. It’s no secret that 100% test code coverage ≠ 100% of critical issues identified. Developers, build engineers, and managers are throwing everything they have at this problem – rigorous code reviews, static analysis, and every possible type of automated test they can think of, but the facts of the matter stay the same – code still breaks. The reason for this is that testing requires foresight. You can’t predict the future with absolute certainty, and the level of foresight that’s required

This guest post is brought to you by Meni Besso, Product Manager at Quali, the creators of CloudShell Colony CloudShell Colony is an Environment as a Service platform. It connects to your cloud providers including AWS, Azure, and Kubernetes and automates environment provisioning and deployment throughout your release pipeline in a scalable, maintainable, and smart way. Creating a scalable CI/CD pipeline is harder than it looks. Too many times have we witnessed DevOps engineers dive straight into configuring builds and writing scripts, only to find out later that they need to redo a significant

This guest blog post is brought to you by Snyk. Snyk offers a developer-first solution for open source security. Snyk is developing a TeamCity plugin to help users with automated vulnerability scanning. Snyk’s blog post series documents their story of building the plugin to help others learn from their experience. As part of the effort to “shift-left”, the DevOps movement has mainly focused on controls or gating mechanisms within the pipeline. Normally defined by platform/architecture leadership but used by developers, these gates can make sure that whatever doesn’t measure up to policy does
