Everyday DevOps - 10 Reasons for Static Analysis


Everyday DevOps

10 Reasons for Static Analysis

In this post, I break down how and why I use static analysis tools like ESLint and Ruff to catch bugs early, keep code clean, and automate checks before code ever hits CI. I show how to wire them into a JavaScript and Python project with examples you can copy and adapt.

Want fewer bugs and cleaner code with less manual effort? Give it a quick read and start levelling up your workflow.

Devcontainers for an easy-to-use development environment

With devcontainers, you can define a ready-to-code workspace that runs anywhere, locally or in the cloud

Adding a .devcontainer/devcontainer.json file to a TypeScript project and standardizing your development environment.

PrismJS Highlighted Shell Command
{
  "name": "devcontainer-typescript-example",
  "dockerComposeFile": "../docker-compose.yml",
  "service": "app",
  "workspaceFolder": "/app",
  "customizations": {
    "vscode": {
      "extensions": [
        "dbaeumer.vscode-eslint",
        "esbenp.prettier-vscode",
        "ms-vscode.vscode-typescript-next"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Full details on how to do this are in my article Devcontainers for Typescript

DevOps Help

Need some help with your SDLC? CI/CD pipeline isn't working as well as it was. New projects getting started, and you need some help getting it deployed?

What this week has in store

Last week, to streamline my development process, I implemented a supervisor in my chatbot. This allows it to call different tools and agents as it progresses through the process, implementing the necessary changes. This week, I will continue to add more agents to process tickets and analyze logs.

See you next week!

Need a Different Perspective

Do you have a problem with your release process? Has Kubernetes got you down? Do you need an outsider's perspective on what's holding up your deployments? If you have 25 minutes, book a time with me.
