As we begin our 2023 season of Trend Report research, we always look to you, our DZone audience, to share your expertise and help influence it!
Our first upcoming Trend Report this year focuses on DevOps and CI/CD. The DevOps movement has paved the way for CI/CD and streamlined application delivery and release orchestration. These nuanced methodologies have not only increased the scale and speed at which we release software, but they have also redistributed responsibilities onto the developer and lead to innovation and automation throughout the SDLC.
Data breaches, ransomware attacks, and other security vulnerabilities have become the norm in recent years. With that, development teams bear the responsibility of ensuring that all stages of the SDLC have strong security. We are curious to know how development teams and tech professionals are incorporating security into the software they build, detecting and addressing vulnerabilities, and identifying common challenges.
And this is where we could use your insights!
The concept of observability was introduced a little over 60 years ago as a notion related to control theory, systems theory, and signal processing. Today, modern observability is still very much focused on looking at systems’ outputs to determine their internal states. Sprinkle in site reliability engineering, and there should be little to no performance issues in distributed systems, right? In an ideal world, yes, but in reality, there is still work to be done.
And this is where we could use your insights!
Cyber threats have become more sophisticated. Hence, it is a good idea to utilize the expertise of public cloud providers to better manage assets against security threats. Cloud security is a collection of proactive measures to protect your cloud assets from internal and external threats. In this Refcard, we will walk through common cloud security challenges, continuous security for cloud infrastructure, and advanced strategies for securing cloud workloads.
Containers weighing you down? Kubernetes can scale them.
To build a reliable, scalable containerized application, you need a place to run containers, scale them, update them, and provide them with networking and storage. Kubernetes is the most popular container orchestration system. It simplifies deploying, monitoring, and scaling application components, making it easy to develop flexible, reliable applications. This updated Refcard covers all things Kubernetes, exploring core concepts, important architecture considerations, and how to build your first containerized application.
Modern data-driven applications are based on various data sources and complex data stacks that require well-designed frameworks to deliver operational efficiency and business insights. Data pipelines allow organizations to automate information extraction from distributed sources while consolidating data into high-performance storage for centralized access.
In this Refcard, we delve into the fundamentals of a data pipeline and the problems it solves for modern enterprises, along with its benefits and challenges.
As data-driven applications continue to grow, it is important for organizations to develop data-driven strategies that drive their business fundamentals. For modern businesses, data is invaluable. Unsurprisingly, a large chunk of emerging technologies and approaches are focused on ensuring efficient data management, enhanced analytics, and robust data security.
In this Refcard, we explore how data orchestration helps break down data silos, enables complex analytics, and eliminates I/O bottlenecks. It also dives into various data orchestration best practices and use cases.
