Recently, Andreas Grabner (@grabnerandi on twitter) of Dynatrace demoed their Unbreakable Pipeline to me and Donovan. I immediately leaned over to Donovan and said, “Dude, that is sick. We can use Dynatrace for Azure Monitoring and we can totally build Dynatrace’s Unbreakable Pipeline using VSTS and Azure!”. Then I really started geeking out. “We can … [Read more…]
