Lets review the ways you can ingest and manipulate data in OpsLevel. Whether you are new to OpsLevel, or a wily veteran, you’re certain to learn something along the way!

Software engineering org charts have never been more complex. Gone are the days of large, stable teams that report to a single leader and work in highly structured ways on long-term projects.

Kicking off a Kubernetes migration? Moving from cron jobs to a data orchestratror? Locking down your software supply chain? Or maybe all three? Whether paying down technical debt, upgrading a library version, or staying on top of security and compliance, engineering managers and directors have a lot to coordinate:

Software developers have been putting badges on their repositories for a long time. Since they’re easily recognizable and have high information density, badges make it simple for developers to signal (or understand) things like code quality, test status and coverage, version, framework, or adherence to various standards.

All over the globe, teams are scrambling right now to triage the impact of the recently announced Log4j vulnerability on their services and applications. Rather than reinvent the wheel, here’s a snippet from an informative Cloudflare blog post that puts CVE-2021-44228 in context:

A security vulnerability was published on December 12th, 2021 by the NIST for Log4J version 2.14.1 or earlier, dubbed CVE-2021-4422. OpsLevel does not use Java in its technology stack and is not affected by this security advisory.

Snyk is rapidly becoming the de facto standard for businesses that want to build security into their continuous software development processes. And with their developer-first tooling and best-in-class security intelligence, it’s no surprise.

Embracing a microservice architecture typically also means deploying much more frequently, which can seem scary. But favoring many incremental deploys is actually a sound risk mitigation strategy since changes tend to be smaller and more isolated.

Earlier this month OpsLevel added personalized, automated notifications to our Service Maturity offering. With these weekly emails, service owners don’t need to remember to review their services in OpsLevel; each Monday OpsLevel will send them a digest report that makes it simple to stay on top of service maturity and encourages a regular review cadence.
