Top 5 Microservices CI/CD Tools to Look Out for!

Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment or CI/CD has become a key cornerstone for building, testing, and deploying applications across environments these days. Here, we talk about the popular build & deploy tools being used in the industry today, that are centred around microservices application delivery. Take a look!

While Continuous Integration helps to mitigate the risks and enables a quick and seamless code release by automating multiple code changes from different developers of the project. On the other hand, Continuous Deployment enables DevOps teams to deliver the integrated code to production seamlessly, thus providing a quick and effective automated process to release new features and updates to customers without much hassles.

So, we shared the recording and the slides on social platforms. Here we try to share a glimpse of the workshop while keeping the same essence.

Autoscaling Azure MySql Server using Azure Automation

Azure automation is a cloud service that helps in automating management tasks thereby saving time and preventing errors. We can also use Azure automation for several other tasks in the cloud as well, for on-premises configuration items. Don’t wait for a traffic spike to take down your app or site. With Scheduled AutoScale, you can respond before anything happens.

We had a standalone MySQL server that was running in production. When the workload used to increase/decrease, we had to manually increase/decrease the SKU tier. The process seemed hectic and time-consuming. That’s why we thought of autoscaling the MySQL server which led to better performance of the MySQL server and saved our time.

In this blog, I have explained how to set up an Azure automation account, create a runbook, publish a runbook, scheduling, etc.
