Implementing Cypress Testing into a Codefresh Pipeline Cypress.iois a next generation front end testing tool built for the modern web. It is utilized by developers or QA engineers building web applications using modern JavaScript frameworks. They are an extremely robust end-to-end testing platform, and are very extensible. Cypress can test anything that runs in a browser. This makes it a very powerful tool, and perfect to implement into a CI/CD pipeline. For this we’ll need an application to work with.

Have you ever been tasked with pipelining out an existing application in a new tool? This can be a long and daunting task. Especially if your application is multi-service, and mono-repo. I’m not going to get into all of hows and whys of multi-repo vs mono-repo today, but there is always a use case or operational model for each. One of the biggest issues I have run into with multi-serivce mono-repo apps is getting the container builds to work the first time.

As more and more applications convert to cloud native with Kubernetes as a normalizing layer the ability to have portability between public clouds also becomes easier. Theoretically, the app can now move easily between AWS/Azure/GCP. However, a couple of issues are always in the back of developer’s minds:  Do I connect to cloud services like ML/AI, DevOps tool chains, DBs, Storage, etc? This might lock me in.  Should I roll my own database or use a cloud services like CosmosDB, Azure Postgres DB, etc.

While CI/CD Pipelines and DevOps are a major talking point in the realm of application Development today, many tasks are still manually processed. This blog explores a method for verifying performance of the infrastructure (and application) in the pipeline.

As you may have seen recently, VMware recently announced the intent to acquire Bitnami.Bitnami is a leader in application packaging solutions providing the largest catalog of click-to-deploy applications and development stacks for major cloud and Kubernetes environments. There are several great use cases for Bitnami package for all the things I have been working on recently. One of the most helpful recently was the turnkey container selection. These containers are pre-built, fully managed containers, for a multitude of apps and services.
