CI/CD tools are great at running pipelines, but most teams still struggle with deployment complexity, configuration drift, and risky rollouts at scale. In this guide, we compare the top CI/CD tools in 2026 and explain why modern teams are pairing them with system-level platforms like Codiac to simplify deployments, reduce pipeline sprawl, and deliver software faster with less risk.

As organizations scale Kubernetes, the question is no longer whether they need a platform, it is whether the platform still serves the business. With Tanzu costs increasing and operational complexity compounding, teams are exploring alternatives that prioritize reliability, repeatability, and delivery. Here’s what that transition really involves.

As with all new titles, speculation becomes apparent. Prior to an organization moving to a new workflow or process, managers and leaders will need to ensure that there is proper intent to do so. With Platform Engineering, it’s no different.

Software companies constantly battle with the need to build secure and scalable products. This is because collaboration across development, operations, and security teams becomes non-negotiable when businesses embrace complex, distributed systems. The right DevSecOps tools empower teams to work cohesively, detect vulnerabilities early, and maintain compliance without sacrificing speed or agility. For businesses aiming to scale, we’ve made a list of tools you should keep an eye for in 2025 that can make the difference between thriving in the competitive market and falling behind.

“Let’s move to the cloud” - a concept discussed in countless boardrooms today, often followed by the unspoken question: What if it all goes wrong?

Once upon a time, there was a promise of what the cloud would provide for engineers and organizations around the world. Aside from easier deployments and more efficient workloads, there was also a cost factor.

For over a decade, Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment/Delivery has been the mechanism that engineers, both cloud/devops/platform and developers, use to ensure that not only application stacks are built into a deployable artifact, but can be deployed within the process.

Thinking of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) process of building software, there are a lot of steps including thinking of the idea, designing the idea, understanding how the idea will work, and then building the idea or in other words, writing the code for it. After all of that planning, design, and coding, you have to now think about how youʼre going to begin the “lifeˮ of the code.

Discover the future of cloud and AI engineering with Codiac’s “Hands on Clouds” Workshops. Designed for AI and cloud engineers, as well as their teams, these hands-on sessions provide a high-impact learning experience, empowering you to build distributed systems and master Kubernetes—all on your laptop.

DevOps encompasses a wide range of cloud-native practices, from CICD to Kubernetes and container security, with countless strategies and tools to consider. This guide highlights four key initiatives to help organizations navigate and implement effective security best practices without overwhelm.
