Adaptive CI Pipelines with Dynamic Tasks
Dynamic tasks enable building CI pipelines which are adaptive based on things like the commit contents or data from external data sources. They unlock a lot of possibilities for building highly performant CI pipelines.
What to Do When Merging Faster than Your Continuous Deployment Process
When multiple commits are merged in rapid succession, rather than creating a backlog of deployments, a reasonable solution is to skip deploying the earlier commits and only deploy the most recent one.
Implementing a Remote Debugger with Node and tmux
We built a remote debugger into RWX using a familiar construct: setting a breakpoint. It's as easy as calling rwx-breakpoint from a task and then using the local CLI to run rwx debug {debugId}.
Serializing Map Data Structures from Shell Scripts
Shell scripts are commonly used for automating DevOps and CI/CD tasks. Unfortunately they do not provide an easy way to build a map data structure and serialize it directly from a shell script, which usually leads to engineers inventing a custom format instead.
Ensuring Version Consistency Across All Environments
As a best practice, engineering teams should ensure that the same version of tools and runtimes are used across all environments. The best way to enforce version consistency is checking for it explicitly in a CI pipeline.
Designing a Software Supply Chain for Security and Reliability
For both security and reliability, package managers should be designed to always lock packages to a specific version. They should also provide an easy way to upgrade packages to the latest version.
