Editor's Notes
- RedMonk calls practitioners the New Kingmakers. The companies that are succeeding are investing in building engineering competence.
- Which also mean that developer talent is now considered more of a constraint than capital. This is an amazing change.

- We are told we all need to become software companies, but it’s hard to be a software company. Data and services are what people want to pay for – “the software paradox”
- I talked about becoming a data company. So let’s look at some tech specifics. Here are our programming language rankings – Java, Javascript, Python settled leadership positions. PowerShell and Typescript on the move. Oh yeah – Github uses Rails for a front end, Java for data pipelines
- Some companies are just moving so much faster than others. It’s absurd
- CI/CD is the onramp for everything good in modern software development. Better quality software, built faster.
- But Kubernetes emerged as the orchestration environment of choice. Ops people bought into the model, and now it’s the defacto standard for all container-based workloads. All major players have adopted it, including Pivotal, Rancher, Mesosphere, VMware, Microsoft, IBM. And of course Docker itself.
- Kubernetes and cloud native – delivery speed is so hard to get a handle on. The death of LTS
- We’re seeing the whole stack being rewritten and rebuilt on top of K8s, including everything from networking to storage. Unlike OpenStack, K8s didn’t begin with this as a goal, but it’s happening. Crazy fragmentation
- The next big thing, on top of K8s is service mesh, automating configuration, security, policy etc – allowing for sidecarring and routing.
- Or blue green deployments
- But what’s the use case? One is canarying
- CI/CD perhaps doesn’t go far enough – Progressive Delivery is what I call the new routing approaches, with feature flags, canarying etc. taking full advantage of container native cloud infrastructures.

- The developer experience – you want to meet the developer where they are. The pull request creates the environments
- But it’s also scary, with an *expectation* of failure
- Debugging in production – needs that kind of automation.
- So along comes observability, beyond monitoring. It’s tracing, logging and monitoring, with real time visibility. A shift of perspective – the developer writes code for it to be understood. It’s as important a responsibility as anything in the testing tool chain

- It is this willingness to open source core IP, which traditionally we would have labelled “competitive advantage”, that defines some of the most successful and innovation companies in the world. Facebook, Netflix, Google. Apple and AWS not so much.
- All of this stuff can be rather complex though
- Goes further than AWS lamda however, event triggers across different infrastructures.
- Which brings us neatly to stripe – which has rewritten the rules in terms of service consumability via API
- Autotrader completely rethought its RFP processes after working with Stripe
- Target has invested heavily in people, from 30/70 internal/consultants to 80/20 internal/external, hiring 1000 people in 3 years. Open source agile skills. Also training third parties. The best way to learn is to teach. Open sourcing. K8s native – every store running Kubernetes
