If 2023 was the year of 'AI for the developer' at Microsoft Build, it's safe to say that 2024 continues that theme, though with more focus on practical delivery of secure, scalable solutions.

GitHub recently released their GitHub Copilot Metrics API in public beta which means it is now available for anyone who has licensed GitHub Copilot Business so they can report on usage and gain insights into the impact of Copilot adoption. I wanted to deploy this against a real organisation, so here are the steps I went through to get it working as a hosted site on an Azure Static Web App instance.

If you've been following me for a while you'll know I'm a huge fan of markdown, GitHub and simplifying the life of developers. In this post I am going to show you how you use the tools you already use and love along with some open source magic that has a long history to build a documentation publishing workflow. All without needing to install Word or use Windows, even if you want to publish a Word document!

Appropriate data handling is an important part of any software system design. Often times we overlook the risks involved with the visibility and accessibility of data passing through our solutions and don't even think about how secure data handling applies to telemetry and logging. In this post I am going to explore how you can use Azure Logic Apps in-built input/output obfuscation capabilities to limit the exposure of data in operational logging and how you can check that the settings are configured.

Regardless of where your git repositories are hosted, there is always a need to have visbility over what's going on in them. While services like GitHub provide metrics APIs, there are some limitations around those metrics APIs, particularly for busy or large repositories. In this post I'm going to look at how you can use Azure Data Explorer to analyse the commit history for a git repository.
