Every week another survey about one tech trend or another is published. Want a reliable way to separate the wheat from the chaff? Review the study’s sample. Studies that interview the wrong people may be biased. If the subject is databases, for example, Oracle employees […]
This year, we conducted a new survey where both end users and vendors were asked about container orchestration. The results do nothing to say that Docker has lost its centrality, but rather that Kubernetes has arrived.
Production users of containers overwhelmingly think of Docker as a packaging format. Docker the company thinks it is much more. The chart is from a JFrog survey and was completed by many Artifactory users, which means they understand the roles package and repository managers play. Along with […]

When asked what three products respondents plan to use for container orchestration, Ansible received the second most citations, well ahead of its configuration management rivals. Orchestration-specific tools — like Kubernetes, AWS ECS, and products based on Docker Swarm or Mesos — will still be the primary orchestration tools. […]
Recent analysis by StackShare indicates that Silicon Valley developers use AWS, GitHub and Slack more often than others.
Support by Google is the least valuable feature in AngularJS according to a survey coming out of Brazil’s Federal University of Minas Gerais. As we wrote about last month, Google is prepping the release of AngularJS 2.0. While it may be a bit disappointing to hear that they don’t matter, […]
Scheduling, cluster management, and service discovery are widely acknowledged to be part of container orchestration. However, over half of the respondents also consider provisioning and monitoring to be part of orchestration. Configuration management was the functionality least likely to be associated with container orchestration, although […]
According to a JFrog survey, developers are complaining less about non-development tasks. Those saying “waiting during build test time” is “very time-consuming” dropped from 28 percent in 2013 to 14 percent in 2015. No wonder more and more people are adopting continuous deployment and integration practices. Above is a chart […]
