If you’ve never used Apache Kafka you would think it’s a magical Excelsior because it’s applied to many different situations. Even people with hands-on experience argue about how to classify it. Is it for pub-sub and messaging, and thus comparable to RabbitMQ? In Confluent’s recent survey of […]
Automation did not originate with Henry Ford’s assembly line. Automation will not end with voice-enabled, machine-learning chatbots supporting ITSM. Automation is evolutionary. Even though time savings are real, every few months it’s important to throw cold water on optimistic expectations. A recent blog by HfS Research CEO Phil […]
Since our new Kubernetes survey borrows a couple of questions from Justin Garrison’s recent survey, we are highlighting one of Garrison’s findings — with the usual caveat that a web survey’s sample should not be extrapolated to the larger market. The survey found that most people (78 percent) still use configuration […]
Infrastructure code needs the same best practices used with application code, but as Dawn Foster told TNS readers, buggy software is foiling dreams of infrastructure-as-code. A recent survey by Justin Garrison, a systems engineer at Walt Disney Animation Studios, sheds light on how often continuous delivery and unit testing […]
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 […]
