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.

Last week we estimated that development costs for the Kubernetes ecosystem were over $120 million. Many people saw this as a bargain, while others questioned the underlying methodology. For example, using lines of code is by general consensus a flawed metric. Multiple readers also asked about the […]
Based on the lines of code in each project, we estimate that it cost about $120 million to get to Kubernetes 1.4.
Kubernetes has the second most contributors reviewing code on GitHub, and in many other GitHub and social media metrics outperforms Docker and other container rivals. While some metrics are fluff, the number of contributors is a very useful indicator. Everyone knows it indicates how strong a community […]
JVM developers are interested in data stream processing technologies, but that “interest” is red hot if they are deploying microservices. According to Lightbend’s recent survey of JVM developers, 18 percent use Kafka in production, 13 percent use Akka Streams, and 12 percent use Spark Streaming. […]
Large enterprises are catching up to the technological and economic reality that smaller companies had already arrived at.
