Lawrence started working with The New Stack in 2015. He was the research director for several ebooks about containers, Kubernetes and the cloud-native ecosystem.

If you were developing a minimal viable product (MVP) for the consumer software market, would it be for Windows PCs, Macs, Linux machines, iOS and Android devices? No, that would be foolish. Yet, it appears that developers are refusing to choose between CPUs, GPUs and […]
With Node.js’s use on the server side, comparing JavaScript and Java is no longer apples vs oranges. With that context, it is noteworthy that last year the number of npm (Javascript) packages downloaded surpassed components in the maven (Java) components. According to Sonatype’s 2017 State of […]
HPE is by far the leading manufacturer associated with the world’s fastest, commercially available computing systems in the most recent TOP500 list.
