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.
Momentum towards distributed databases will be bolstered by the current move towards “serverless” technologies. In particular, database-as-a-services like Amazon DynamoDB are being utilized by developers of microservices. Also, MongoDB offerings are poised to benefit because Node.js is supported by many serverless providers. For industry insiders, serverless is […]
Companies that use both use CI and CD are more likely to be re-architecting legacy apps for containers.
Women are more successful at getting pull requests accepted than men on GitHub. That’s the conclusion reported in an academic paper, Gender Differences and Bias in Open Source: Pull Request Acceptance of Women Versus Men. By comparing GitHub email addresses with self-reported gender on Google+, researchers found […]
In software, there are few oldies but goodies. Yet, perhaps we shouldn’t accuse developers of ageism. Sonatype’s 2016 Software Supply Chain report looked at 1,000 repository managers and the components they manage. Components more than two years old account for over 53 percent of the software parts development […]
Amazon Web Services continues to be the 800-lb gorilla in the public cloud space, with 41 percent of container users saying they deploy containers most frequently to AWS. Among this group, only a quarter say AWS EC2 Container Service (ECS) is the method of container deployment used most often. […]
Container registries and vulnerability scanners are often bundled together, but they are not the same thing.
Two-thirds of container users say they deploy most frequently on either AWS or internal data centers. For AWS, Docker Swarm and Kubernetes vie with ECS to be the preferred orchestration tool. Docker doesn’t do as well for on premises container deployment. Internally developed tools are […]
As the number of nodes or machines managing containers in production increases, so does the need for container orchestration tools. As the size of deployments increase, tooling decisions become more important. As we wrote about last week, Kubernetes and HashiCorp see the largest uptick in use as deployment scales increase. […]
Information security pros may be a thorn in developers’ sides, but, in reality, they need each other, and they know it. New Relic just released results from a survey of both developers and security pros. They found much more agreement than you would think. At least 79 […]
Kubernetes is the most used orchestration tool, capturing 43 percent of container users. Twenty-seven percent of all container users say Kubernetes is the container orchestrator they use most often.
Instead of a large uptake in new container users, the “action” is in converting small implementations into larger ones.
According to a BCG study, long development times have become an even bigger inhibitor to innovation and product development. In an article about NoOps and serverless, Mark Boyd speculated that this is because DevOps adds development time as application builders become weighed down by the need to manage […]
