A Financial Sector Perspective
Modern Platform Engineering: When to Build, When to Buy Your IDP — Beyond the Hype of Backstage.io
Traditional approaches often fall short when organizations scale beyond simple deployments. Can artificial intelligence (AI) and agentic implementations bridge this gap?
In highly regulated industries, maintaining GxP (Good Practices) compliance is critical.
Terraform is one of the most popular tools for Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Let's understand Terraform State.
Data breaches and misconfigurations can have serious consequences. Cloud security should be a top concern for every organization.
In the last decade, organizations chased the DevOps dream, drowning themselves in complexity and cognitive overload. Outcome-Driven Approaches Redefine DevOps and Platform Engineering Success
Infrastructure as Code Best Practices & Implementation – transforming brittle, manual processes into repeatable blueprints for modern cloud operations.
Imagine, a test environment closely matching production is automatically created for them. Developers don’t have to open a request and wait hours or days. This is the promise of self-service infrastructure!
In today's fast-paced tech environment, developer productivity isn't just about writing code faster; it's about creating a workflow that allows developers to focus on innovation while maintaining efficiency, security, and compliance.
Organisations today have a variety of approaches to managing software development and infrastructure operations. Three common models are DevOps, Platform Engineering, and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE). While there are some similarities, each has distinct goals, responsibilities, and practices.
The most common traditional security framework is the CIA triad, Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability. The confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information is crucial to the operation of a business, and the CIA triad segments these three ideas into separate focal points. This differentiation is helpful because it helps guide security teams as they pinpoint the different ways in which they can address each concern.
