Dynatrace news. DevSecOps is a cross-team collaboration framework that integrates security into DevOps processes from the start rather than waiting to address security in a separate silo. With an integrated DevSecOps approach, organizations can reduce security risk without derailing development timelines. But what exactly does this mean?

Client-side A/B testing has been a performance loving developer’s worst friend for years. The way it works is you load in some JavaScript (typically from a third-party domain), and that JavaScript runs, applying the experiments you’re running for any given situation. Since those experiments usually involve changing the display of the page in some way, these scripts are typically either loaded as blocking JavaScript (meaning nothing happens until the JavaScript arrives and gets execut
