DEVSECOPS Talks #42 - Prometheus - a practitioner take
If you follow CloudNative hype wave, you might feel that Prometheus is the must-use monitoring tool for everything CloudNative. Plus, almost everything nowadays has a Prometheus exporter. Just get that helm chart installed, and here you go - metrics question sorted out. Want to monitor endpoints - here is BlackBox exporter for you. Want to get notifications - AlertManager got you covered. And so on and so on. But is it all rainbows and unicorns? You probably guessed that it depends. This time, Semyon is joining us to air his grievances with Prometheus and share insights on how to cook it if you decide to go down this route.

DEVSECOPS Talks #41 - Great communication FTW
Communication in co-located teams is quite often complicated. It is even more complex and, at the same time, important in distributed teams. Have you ever got an issue report that says this thing is failing? No logs, no explanation of context, no nothing. Pretty sure we've all been in such situations. How do you step up your communication game? This episode of DevSecOps Talks is about great communication tips for DevSecOps practitioners in distributed (and not only) teams.

DEVSECOPS Talks #36 - Sturdy. Is it time for a new version control tool?
We have had Git around for more than 15 years, and during that time, it has become a standard de-facto to share code and track code changes. While Git is a superior version control system to most of what we have seen before, it has been 15 years since the first release. Should we be looking for new ways to approach version control systems? Is the time right for the next generation of tools in this area?

DEVSECOPS Talks #35 - Infrastructure as code (IAC) revisited 2021
Our first episode was about Infrastructure as code, and we feel that it is time to revisit the topic after almost two years.

Thus, in this episode, we revisit the definition of Infrastructure as code and try to summarize what has changed over the years. We hope you like it!
