I was lucky enough to get access to GitHub Actions over the Christmas break and wanted to use that new found technology to build a few tutorials. Since I also just started at JFrog, I combined learning the JFrog Technology with building awesome actions. The first article was building a custom GitHub Action and this one will continue that work by building an awesome Go app.

I’ve been playing with OpenFaas ever since I learned about Minikube a few years ago, so when one of my colleagues mentioned Google’s Distroless project I obviously needed to see if my Go projects could work using those images too.

Unless you’ve spent the last few months in outer space, or at the very least out of reach from the Internet, you’ve seen that serverless is one of the hottest topics when it comes to building apps. Over the last few months we’ve seen AWS announcing a ton of things at their annual user conference, Google announced support for Go in private beta and serverless containers in private alpha and even Gitlab announced some form of serverless support. With so many massive players it’s easy to forget smaller ones, but those smaller ones are quite often pretty interesting.

In this webinar, I got to chat with Rimas Mocevicius, the founder of HELM, on how to prepare and deploy your applications to Kubernetes and the challenges you might encounter moving your apps into Kubernetes.

Go 1.11 introduced support for Go Modules and with it the ability to do proper dependency management. As the Go community moves towards the adoption of modules more and more, the question is “Why not stick with vendoring?”

There are many challenges facing software development specifically when building and deploying new microservices as we try to do every day. Using Cloud-Native technologies we can navigate some of those risks, but not all of our development practices, especially security and compliance, have kept up with the speed in which the rest of our tech stack has evolved. In this presentation I cover how JFrog Xray helps you safely deploy your artifacts to production with full confidence.

No matter the metric, “serverless” is definitely gaining interest. It’s the dream of every developer, supplying the ability to deploy services in the cloud in no time, automatically scale them, enjoy automatic management by a cloud provider—and, most important, keep it all cost effective! How does this dream become a reality? At TIBCO NOW we recorded this session which covers what serverless is all about and the benefits of running your apps in a serverless environment. We talked about a lot of things, including the monoliths-microservices-functions progression and when, where, and why to use serverless architecture.

A smart security camera takes in a high volume of video images and processes those images using a set of machine learning models. Those models can be used to identify interesting snippets of movement throughout the day, and decide which of those snippets to keep. Some of the video snippets might contain movement of birds–but other video snippets might contain footage of intruders.

Two weeks ago, I had the amazing opportunity to be at AirFrance/KLM in KLM’s Digital Studio to talk about Project Flogo and brainstorm on where they could use Flogo to improve and expand their digital footprint. The team was kind enough to share the recorded video on YouTube!
