Are Canary Releases an Alternative to Testers?
Canary releases enable product owners to check how a new feature is getting adopted by users by rolling it out to a small percentage of users and then incrementally rolling it out to a wider audience. Product owners might feel tempted to discontinue or reduce testing upon adopting canary releases, but decisions should be approached cautiously as they can have serious and unintended consequences.

Serverless Solution to Offload Polling for Asynchronous Operation Status Using Amazon S3
This article proposes a solution to redirect the polling part to the Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) - a highly available, scalable, and secured object storage service managed by Amazon Web Services public cloud provider (AWS). It will present a serverless implementation using AWS Lambda functions, but this is not mandatory if you want to use S3.

Application Security Manager: Developer or Security Officer?
The role of the Application Security Manager (ASM) should be the driving force of the overall code review process. An ASM should know about development processes, information security principles, and have solid technical skills. To get a good ASM you can either use experts from a service provider or grow an in-house professional from developers or security specialists.

Why the Future of Monitoring Is Agentless
Traditionally, monitoring software has relied heavily on agent-based approaches for extracting telemetry data from systems. Observability requires better telemetry than agents currently provide. OpenTelemetry is driving advances in this area by creating a standard format and APIs to create, transmit, and store telemetry data. This unlocks new opportunities in observability.

Is Artificial Intelligence Taking over DevOps?
AI tools are slowly replacing the role of the developer – just as DevOps did before – and will eventually supplant DevOps entirely. Assessing whether that prediction is true is tricky. In this article, we’ll look at what AI promises for the development process, assess whether it can really ever take over from human developers, and what DevOps is likely to look like in a decades’ time.

How Unnecessary Complexity Gave the Service Mesh a Bad Name
There is immense value in adopting a service mesh, but it must be done in a lightweight manner to avoid unnecessary complexity. Take a pragmatic approach when implementing a service mesh by aligning with the core features of the technology, such as standardized monitoring and smart routing, and watching out for distractions.
