A list of 5 tips and tricks to avoid Terraform gotchas with AWS and GCP

In the ever-evolving software development landscape, one of the most influential ideas of the past decade has been the "git flow" working style, thanks to the iconic blog post "A Successful Git Branching Model." Here, we suggest an updated workflow with less long-lived branching.

Back when Coherence was still just a prototype, we’d discussed one day solving app migration with AI. That sounded hand-wavy back then, but today we’ve implemented just that using GPT. Here’s how we did it.

We recently rolled out a new set of functionality on Coherence to help our users deploy a full copy of their application into one of their customer’s cloud accounts. We’re excited to share the story of our first design partner going live with this tool.

We are excited to announce a new partnership with tunnel.dev. David and the tunnel team have shown that they care about improving dev experience and team velocity, and enabling new ways of collaboration. Tunnel builds on the previous dev sharing solutions like ngrok or localtunnel, but goes farther and adds tons of cool new features.

Now any software development team can measure their PR efficiency with Coherence's new Velocity Scorecard.

We are pleased to announce the launch of a new analytics dashboard in Coherence.

In this comprehensive guide, we'll walk you through the functionalities of Coherence, providing insights and tips to optimize your developer experience.

A recap of our first time at AWS re:Invent

In the rapidly evolving world of software development, the emergence of platform engineering has marked a significant shift in how organizations approach software delivery and operations. This blog post delves into the three emerging categories within this movement: Internal Developer Portals, Internal Developer Platforms, and the next generation of Platform as a Service (PaaS 2.0). We'll explore the journey that led us here, the nuances of these platforms, and the critical differences between an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) and a PaaS.

We review the history and state of the art of velocity. Measuring engineering velocity is a valuable exercise for software teams aiming to improve their processes and deliver value consistently. By understanding its nuances and potential pitfalls, teams can use velocity as a tool for growth and continuous improvement rather than a blunt instrument of judgment.

After getting over our initial skepticism, here's why we turned to GPT

Ultralight's journey from a PaaS provider to AWS

Starter repo for GPT-powered AI apps using Langchain and Pinecone on top of AWS or GCP

As we watch the evolution of Google's product portfolio, we've observed the company's occasionally perplexing tendency to shut down successful, well-liked services, often to the frustration of its user base. The recent decision to offload its Google Domains product to Squarespace is the latest in a series of moves that has left many of us scratching our heads.

We are excited to introduce our latest project, The Cloud Whitepaper Index, which leverages generative AI to give you an AI-powered Cloud Architecture expert.

How to setup a secure and compliant IAM environment with AWS

If you’re working on a new app in 2023, you’re likely thinking about how to integrate Large Language Model (LLM) based features into your code. The hottest API to access this kind of technology is ChatGPT from OpenAI. Coherence is a great place to deploy your full-stack GPT-powered app, as we show in this new starter repo which deploys an AI QA Engineer.

When does Coherence get useful instead of purely serverless functions, like those offered on Vercel/Netlify/CloudFlare? There are a few reasons why you might hit limits and want to go beyond their hosting, especially for backend APIs.

In this week's roundup we discuss AI and PaaS, Tech Debt and Staging Environments

Scaling companies need the surface area that AWS and GCP provide but want the simplicity that PaaS providers offer. What if you could have both?

Updating our docs with a deep dive on how we use AWS

While the embers of staging environments are still smoldering, like a phoenix, preview environments have risen from their ashes. 

The use of AI in DevOps has the potential to significantly improve the efficiency and reliability of software development and deployment. We believe by leveraging the power of AI, companies can build better products faster and cheaper.

Remote development is fundamentally changing how software is written. It's only a matter of time before local development becomes a thing of the past.

A great dev platform will save your developers time and make them more productive. At Coherence, we set out to make it possible for you to buy tools that give you a world-class dev platform, instead of having to build them yourself.
