Undoubtedly, 2020 was a turbulent year. Though software architects are always under pressure to deliver projects on time, just how much additional pressure did the pandemic bring?

Business meetings have become more digitally collaborative in response to the sudden increase in remote workforces. For the most part, this rapid transition to digital was quite successful in moving the typically in-person business meeting to the cloud. This transition to remote collaboration, however, has yet to extend to other key business processes. The software development workflow is still, in large part, sequential ...

Working with microservices and Kubernetes often means solving the same solved problems over and over, without having the time to focus on what really brings value to the business. Garden recently commissioned research to gather insights from software professionals to find out where time is being spent, what tasks often cause frustration, and how this time could be better spent. Some of what we learned reinforced my own experiences but there were some other surprising insights. And when we set out to quantify the impact of time spent on "solved problems" that respondents shared with us, the data was truly eye popping ...

The DevOps revolution of the past decade has been driven by an increasingly fast-moving world. Where once the release of new software and applications was an event that happened every few months, it's now a constant, ongoing process with new code rolled out continually. DevOps teams have embraced this challenge by breaking free of the traditional siloed approach, and owning more of the development cycle themselves, including quality testing, integration and deployment. However, there's a major component that DevOps is still failing to take responsibility for: security ...

Low code tools on the market focus on going from idea to app, by skipping the designer and much of the developer. That's a good way to get a concept out of your head and come up with a prototype, but to create a mission-critical business app with a good user experience, low-code apps on their own won't cut it ...

Because of the major uptick in volume in ecommerce, retailers' digital presence needs to be responsive and secure. Web applications need to meet customer demands for speed and a simple interface, but with 43% of all breaches occurring as a result of a vulnerable application layer, the security of these applications is critical ...

When I was asked to step up and take lead of the engineering team, I saw my role as an organizational problem solver. The goal was to empower individuals and set teams up to work in ways that fit them best, while also streamlining processes to reduce stress and confusion. As we grew the team and evolved our processes, I questioned the status quo and evaluated processes from first principles. Here are some of the things I learned along the way ...

While it may seem counterintuitive to add another component to developers' workloads, organizations can meet the needs of today's developers by prioritizing effective AppSec training. But what exactly makes AppSec training effective, and how does this differ from the traditional types of educational resources developers are currently exposed to? Let's explore ...

Teams have made great strides to support the shift toward digital-focused solutions and capabilities, but the clock is ticking for those companies that are lagging in their digital innovation efforts. In Kong Inc.'s second annual Digital Innovation Benchmark, 51% of the 400 IT leaders surveyed in the US and Europe believe that their organization can only survive up to three years before going out of business or being absorbed by a competitor if they are unable to keep up with digital innovation ...
