Written By
Jean-Philippe Lachance

Trying to find a good introduction for this blog post, I did what I do when I need to write a complex piece of code: a Google search! I searched for DevSecOps. One of the first results was this article on the RedHat website.

Basically, Coveo adopted the DevOps principle, meaning that all developers are now taking part in the design, development, deployment and operations of our cloud infrastructure. This allows us to iterate fast, but this also means that the security teams must move fast as well.

To build secure environments while adopting DevOps, we must shift security left, putting it as much as possible in the hands of our developers. Shifting security left is a hot topic in the software industry right now. This post will give you a few ideas. Spoiler: tooling is the key!

Written By
François Lachance-Guillemette

I have been recently trying some new technologies, such as our own Coveo Headless Library, which aims to replace Coveo JavaScript Search Framework with a smaller headless state management library, and Svelte, which aims at writing less and clearer code to achieve the same results as a React or VueJS app.

Those two technologies are so great and fun to work with that I could not wait to use them together. So this blog post will do exactly that: Let’s build a minimal search page using Svelte and the Headless library.

The Coveo JavaScript Search Framework, also known as the JSUI, lets you build visually rich, full-featured search interfaces.

Alexandra Rioux

Personalization is one of the biggest marketing trends and is becoming the norm in the industry. Customers are becoming more and more impatient when dealing with online experiences. Not only do they want to be treated as individuals, but they’re also expecting brands to show them content that is relevant to them quickly.

Adding product recommendations to your online experience can help you remain relevant across every interaction while determining your customers’ intent to increase conversion and ensure they have the experience they expect. With the help of AI, product recommendations are experiencing a renaissance. While recommended products are now expected, a lot of them are still using static rules, taxonomy or simple page view tracking mechanism. New advancement in data capture and attribution, product embeddings, and multi-device tracking, allows recommenders to be more precise, personalize and efficient. With these new tools in hand, applying the right strategy becomes paramount.

Working for a web-based company, you’ve most likely heard the question: “Is your product WCAG compliant.” Having previously worked in sales, the answer for me was always something along the lines of “Yeah, sure, we are WCAG 2.0 compliant.” But, do you know what that actually means?

How to develop and structure a Salesforce Package in 2020

Written By
Louis Bompart

In October 2017, Salesforce released Salesforce DX. It brought source-driven development and scratch orgs to the Salesforce developer community, a considerable boon for every Salesforce developer. However, when creating a package, the source of truth was still the code that lived in the packaging organization, and not the code that was in your repository.

2 years later, October 2019, Second-Generation Managed Package became GA, bringing the source-driven development to the packaging. This unified the code in a single place: your repository.

Such shifts in the development process might seem daunting at first, but let me show you how you could organize your code with those tools, and what it will bring to you and your users.

Following the increase in the severity of the COVID-19 outbreak, a lot of us will be working from home in the hope to reduce the spread of the virus.

Written By
Jean-Michel Provencher

One of the big challenges tech companies face today is credentials management. Let’s face it, every company should rotate periodically all their secrets to make sure they respect industry standards regarding security and compliance. However, this task can easily become overwhelming as we have to rotate them manually. With the shift to cloud-first microservices, the amount of secrets we have to manage exploded. Each service needs to authenticate with other services. Those secrets all need to be rotated.
