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.
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 […]
In the last year, we’ve seen a dramatic shift in expectations regarding how to measure the success of IT monitoring. As more people believe monitoring is critical to a company’s success, the ability to quickly remediate the cause of alerts has become less critical. IT […]
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 […]
A year ago, most users of containers were not using orchestration tools, but instead relied on custom scripts, CLIs and perhaps their configuration management solutions. Those were supposedly early adopters. Six months ago an UBM/Interop ITX report, based on a broader base of general cloud computing users, found […]
Remember why DevOps came into existence? A recent survey of SQL Server users by Redgate proves once again there is a disconnect between those creating and managing production applications. Although 60 percent of developers write scripts to deploy databases, only 39 percent are actually responsible for the […]
