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.
He highlighted a chart and findings from industry research in The New Stack’s weekly newsletter. This sampling of the over 400 articles and reports he has written.
Hybrid cloud may mean a lot of things, but what does it mean for interoperability? Only 15 percent expect to primarily use hybrid cloud, according to a survey earlier this year by 451 Research and Microsoft. Another 25 percent plan to be able to migrate workloads or data between […]
Several studies that show large drops in “private cloud” deal with preferences for future cloud development and not the actual percentage of current workloads being managed. Our analysis shows that adoption of private clouds has actually increased.
Some people think OpenStack is facing an existential crisis. The OpenStack Foundation’s latest User Survey reported its lowest Net Promoter Score (NPS) in two years. Many sessions at the upcoming OpenStack Summit in Boston will focus on the latest open source darling, Kubernetes. This does not mean OpenStack […]
Digital Transformation and DevOps are overused buzzwords. Yuck. But that doesn’t mean you should use them. In fact, they should be used together because are directly related to product development. DevOps Research and Assessment’s (DORA) ongoing research with Puppet Labs says that some of the most statistically […]
In less than a year, the percentage of container users running containers on Windows hosts has risen from 9 percent to 29 percent. Portworx’s 2017 survey cleverly used a few identical questions from a ClusterHQ/DevOps.com survey we wrote about in 2016. The huge rise in adoption is too big […]
React is a library with Facebook roots. Angular is a Google-spawned framework. There is abundant analysis comparing them and, in general, it shows that Angular trails, with Vue.js getting significant buzz. Yet, since AngularJS 2 was a significant rewrite, you should not conflate declining use of the original Angular with […]
Finding the root cause of a performance problem is a time suck, but is it truly a pain point that you need to buy more software to resolve? We can’t answer that question, but a new report from DZone indicates that general challenges with performance monitoring may […]
We’ve been actively covering TypeScript but it wasn’t until recently that we saw stats showing just how popular it is. Stack Overflow added this JavaScript superset to its Developer Survey 2017, and boom — it is being used by 9.5 percent of developers, making it the ninth most used language […]
BigPanda’s recent State of Monitoring report provides an analysis that reflects on strategic monitoring, development and why satisfaction is decreasing. The cause for dissatisfaction looks to be rooted in the pace of software development. IT pros say they get more alerts than ever. Code deployments are more likely to […]
A recent survey of Go programmers proves once again that Go is at the center of the DevOps world. While web development is a common use, 38 percent of Go developers do systems programming and 35 percent said they work in DevOps. While Go adoption may not […]
No matter how you look at gender, the percentage of women in IT varies depending on the study. Yet, in some ways, it doesn’t matter if the figure is 5 percent or 25 percent, the statistic still obscure hard truths. For example, when women join a programming team, […]
iPaaS (integration platform as a service) offerings have been touted for a while, but have so far not reached a broad level adoption. Perhaps this is because of limited demand for Boomi or open source WSO2. Maybe integration by its very nature requires manual, custom […]
