ScriptRock_FinDEVr2015_logoScriptRock is the brainchild of two longtime IT veterans who recognized a common problem inherent in IT and set out to build a solution. The result is a powerful configuration-integrity-monitoring platform in use by companies around the world. Thanks in part to the platform’s flexibility and scalability, ScriptRock has become integral to workflows in high finance, banking, healthcare, retail, and other industries.

Integrity in the age of devOps
The chips have fallen and devOps is here to stay, but many companies are still falling short in testing their infrastructure throughout the development cycle. Automation platforms like Chef and Puppet are great, but they’re not enough to guarantee systems integrity. See why continuous testing can mean the difference between profit and PR disaster.

Key takeaways:

  • Continuous delivery is great, but without proper testing, your project can quickly go off the rails.
  • How recent high-profile outages such as the NYSE, Apple’s App Store, and United Airlines could have been prevented.
  • Compliance monitoring doesn’t have to be a long, arduous, and expensive process.
