When writing tests, it’s not only about whether they really correctly test your code and how much coverage they achieve. One important thing is also how much information you’ll get when there is a failing test. Ever since I am using Kotlin, I am using the combination...
Our authors Pascal and Bastian investigated the Google Software Delivery Shield which is Google’s fully managed solution for software supply chain security. In this article they describe how software supply chain security can be achieved during the different steps of the software development lifecycle with the Google Software Delivery Shield.
Our author Daniel gives an introduction into Software Supply Chain Security in software development processes and highlights its importance. The article stresses how neglecting security in the software development process can lead to successful attacks, compromising users’ data and systems. It also provides tips on achieving Software Supply Chain Security, including scanning for vulnerabilities, updating dependencies, and secret detection.
There are three main types of telemetry data – often referred to as pillars of observability – that are typically gathered: metrics, logs and traces. Here we focussed on tracing which enables visualizations making it possible to understand the performance characteristics of a distributed system.
In the swiftly changing world of software development, the choice of programming language plays a crucial role. To emphasize this, our colleagues Lukas and Georg effectively developed a Microservice Architecture in Kotlin for one of the largest direct banks in Germany. With numerous years of expertise in Java, this project marked their most extensive exploration of Kotlin. Join them on their fascinating voyage as they explain why Kotlin proved to be a superior choice over Java.

This article compares different Kubernetes frameworks and evaluates their usability. It also features a youtube video of Senior Developer Josef Brandl having a talk on this subject.
Die Nutzung von Geoinformationssystemen (GIS), so z.B. im Rahmen von Navigationsanwendungen oder Logistikdiensten, ist allgegenwärtig. Unsere Autoren stellen einen Anwendungsfall in der Energiebranche vor bei dem durch GIS der Planungsprozess für Hausanschlüsse an Strom- und Erdgasnetze standardisiert und automatisiert werden kann, was Zeit spart und Fehler reduziert.
Expiring certificates impose a continuous threat to service interruptions if they are not properly managed. In this article, Senacor Senior Developer Fabian Kohlmann presents a solution to monitor expiry dates of certificates directly inside the deployed applications using standard application monitoring frameworks.
Writing clean code is an important part of modern software development. In this article, our colleague Moritz presents his favorite function “pipe” which helps him write clean code in Typescript projects.
