Increasing Code Reusability Using Task Groups in Azure DevOps

Introduction

Let’s assume a scenario in which you are repeating a few tasks from your pipeline into multiple stages and/or pipelines or projects. In that case, it gets really tiring to repeat and configure each task individually over and over again. Azure DevOps provides the feature of Task Group in which we can encapsulate a sequence of tasks from our build or release pipelines and reuse those tasks in other pipelines.

Monitoring and Release tracking with Sentry

Before we deep dive into the topic let’s focus on why we need this tool and why we need this feature in our toolbox. In the world of errors and bugs, we will find many errors to debug and keep our system stable. So many applications need monitoring to analyze the performance of running application but what if:

we are not getting 100% analysis
only got the handled error exceptions
our applications have some anonymous errors which weren’t tracked in our system status error code and that continuously increased the load or downtime, and many more.

Will you actually debug that kind of error? How difficult is it to identify what caused Application Crash? Some organizations have set custom status codes for similar or multiple look-alike error strings but what if they are actually not similar, and you would be like “ignore, that’s our handled one we are throwing that status code”.

Introduction to Azure Security

DevOps Security or DevSecOps is a set of practices and tools that bring together software development (Dev), IT operations (Ops), and security (Sec) to increase an organization’s ability to deliver applications and services securely. DevOps presents new risks that create security challenges that cannot typically be addressed by conventional security management solutions and practices. One of the prominent security challenges in DevOps environments is privileged access management. DevOps processes require human and machine privileged credentials which are quite powerful and highly susceptible to
cyber-attacks. So strong security practices should be inserted throughout the application lifecycle to reduce vulnerabilities, improve security posture and mitigate risk.

How To Setup An Agent On Azure Devops

Introduction

Azure DevOps is an integrated service provided by Azure. In recent times, it is observed that Azure DevOps is increasing its penetration into the DevOps community. Being a SaaS service, it doesn’t come with a pre-configured host or better say, an agent to execute its commands. That’s why whenever we want to use our Azure DevOps Pipeline we need to have an agent configured in our Agent Pool. In this blog, we will learn how to configure an agent and later on how to create a service for our host. Continue reading “How To Setup An Agent On Azure Devops”

A Detailed Guide to Key Metrics of MongoDB Monitoring

In the current era, organizations demand high-quality working data, and management systems that can scale, deploy quickly, robustly, are highly available, and highly secure for any unfortunate incidents. Traditionally, applications used relational databases as the primary data stores but in today’s need for data-driven applications, developers lean towards alternative databases like NoSQL(Not Only Structured Query Language).

NoSQL databases enable speed, flexibility, and scalability in this era of growing development in the cloud. Moreover, NoSQL databases also support JSON-like documents which are commonly used formats to share data in modern web applications.
