Traditionally, deployment pipelines use protected secrets to access cloud providers. These have to be managed in DevOps platforms and rotated regularly. OpenID Connect provides a modern approach: pipelines request short-lived tokens directly from the cloud provider. This blog post covers key aspects of this approach, current support from cloud providers and DevOps platforms, and shows an implementation using GitHub Actions and Azure.

How can the development of medical devices be made easier and more efficient in a world of strict regulations and high safety requirements? The key lies in a strong partner: the ALM tool codeBeamer. This blog post shows how codeBeamer overcomes the challenges of medical technology. Learn practical insights, best practices and tips for project success.

Software testing at adesso: It's more than just finding bugs! Contrary to the widespread cliché that testing is either easy or boring, in our blog post we show you just how multifaceted the work of a software tester really is. At adesso, testing plays a central role in every project and is supported by a wide range of communities and development opportunities.

In the early 2000s, Dojo laid the foundation for many concepts and techniques that are now considered standard. From modular programming to reusable components to asynchronous functions, Dojo provided innovative solutions at a time when there were no uniform standards for the web. In my blog post, I would like to introduce the Dojo Library.

Why write tests when the code is already finished? Early testing does not start in code, but in refinement. In this blog post, I'll show you how ‘Example Mapping’ helps to integrate Test-First directly into refinement. This ensures that requirements are clear from the start and enables faster and better feedback.

In the IT world, we are confronted with complex decisions on a daily basis - be it in architecture planning, technology selection or proposal management. Faced with limited rationality and an uncertain world, we often resort to heuristics: simple, quick decision-making strategies that offer effective solutions despite limited information. From "tallying" to "take-the-best" - in our new blog post, we introduce you to practical heuristics that will help you make smart decisions without getting bogged down in complexity.

Version control is a system that helps developers track, manage and secure changes to code. This blog post is aimed at non-developers and explains what version control is, what advantages it offers and how it can be used in your daily work, especially with GitLab.

Seit Spring Boot 2.3 werden detaillierte Fehlermeldungen aus Sicherheitsgründen standardmäßig unterdrückt. Das Frontend benötigt aber oft spezifische Fehlerdetails, um eine gute User Experience zu gewährleisten. In diesem Blogbeitrag zeige ich, wie du in Spring Boot Fehlerdetails sicher und gezielt an das Frontend weitergeben kannst - ohne die Sicherheit deines Projekts zu gefährden. In meinem Blog-Beitrag erfahrt ihr, wie ihr mit @ControllerAdvice, ErrorAttributes und Annotations eine maßgeschneiderte Fehlerbehandlung implementieren könnt.

Microservices are a prevailing trend in software architecture that breaks down large systems into independent units. They offer advantages, but are not always necessary. Alternatively, a modularised monolith can be useful, especially if the boundaries between microservices are fluid. In this blog post, I will discuss modularisation concepts in the Java ecosystem, with a focus on Spring Modulith.
