An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
As organizations scale up their DevOps CI/CD efforts, they soon find that changes across the software deployment landscape become increasingly difficult to control. While the use of GitHub (or any other implementation of the open source Git repository, for that matter) helps manage source code versioning, many problems remain.
Perhaps a careless developer includes a secret key in their commit. Or maybe there’s a small typo in an Ansible playbook. Or perhaps a production pull request takes place before the code is complete or fully tested.
Datree addresses these problems with its real-time Git catalog. The catalog extracts metadata from a company’s GitHub and maps components, repositories, and committers. The result is full visibility into the progress of the deployment.
Datree’s policy engine checks every pull request, automatically enforcing governance before anyone merges a branch into production.
For any organization that is uncomfortable forgoing traditional acceptance testing in order to achieve the benefits of DevOps, Datree can put people’s minds at ease.
