Most businesses have mainframes where their key applications and data reside. In today’s digital environment, customer-facing mobile and web systems retrieve critical data from back-end mainframe systems. It is critical to adapt mainframe applications and data to today’s rapidly changing market demands if businesses want to remain competitive. This is the question IT and businesses […]
DevOps: Role Clarity is Important
Those who talk a lot about DevOps, particularly those who talk a lot about culture change, sometimes gloss over or “think it is obvious” that some roles change more than others when moving from Dev and Ops to DevOps. I was having a lighthearted chat with a friend who works for Compuware and realized that, […]
The Road Ahead for Service Mesh
If you’re struggling to manage microservices as architectures continue to scale, there’s a good chance you’ve at least heard of service mesh. For the purposes of this blog, I’ll assume you’re familiar with the basic tenets of a service mesh. I believe that service mesh is advancing microservice communication to a new level that is […]
Of DevOps, Databases and DBAs
If you’re on a DevOps team looking for additional efficiencies, you are likely to find them in the realm of database management. The arrival of DevOps did nothing to diminish the responsibilities traditionally associated with database administrators (DBAs). Rather, some of those duties have been redistributed across the team—sometimes explicitly, but more often implicitly. For […]
The Need for Rapid Development in a Post-App World
Gartner’s May 2017 report, “Preparing for a World Beyond Mobile Apps,” anticipates a post-app environment in which consumers have a wide variety of interfaces to choose from—including wearables, bots, ambient voice interfaces, IoT devices and AR/VR—that not only lend themselves to more immersive and seamless digital experiences, but also upend how businesses need to think […]
DevOps and Low-Code/No-Code Tools
Helping out a friend, I had reason to revisit low-code/no-code solutions and poke around a bit. The industry has been relatively quiet on the topic, but changes in systems and marketing made me feel the need to offer an update on the relation of current solutions to DevOps. Low-code/no-code solutions have been a panacea in […]
DevOps and Cloud: A Symbiotic Relationship Aimed at Business Success
DevOps and cloud computing are not mutually exclusive, though their relationship has often been uncertain and confusing from a layman’s perspective. While cloud computing relates to technology and services, DevOps is more about processes and process improvement. However, both DevOps and cloud computing are vital in every organization’s journey toward an effective digital transformation. Cloud-centric […]
What Andreessen’s ‘Software’ Essay Means to Development Today
It’s been nearly seven years since Marc Andreessen’s essay, “Why Software is Eating the World,” brought to light software’s role in determining the next wave of winners and losers. Today, his essay is still relevant. The past decade saw the consumerization of IT in business. It also witnessed the shift in software consumption from desktops to […]
DevOps: It’s an Odyssey, not a Journey
It has become somewhat of a standard practice to tell people, “DevOps is a journey, not a destination,” which attempts to convey the fact that there is no end point that is set in stone. But a journey is a well-planned, point-to-point trip, while DevOps transformation is a messy, figure-out-the-next-steps-as-you-go trip. So I propose we […]
5 Resources for JavaScript Developers
Javascript (JS) is one of the most widely used and beloved programming languages in history. This can be attributed to its fairly light learning curve and impressive functionality. Designed by Brendan Eich in 1995, the language has seen steady gains in use for more than 20 years. JS itself is a high-level and weakly typed […]
