Enterprise Security
Security is everywhere: Behind every highly performant application, or even detected threat, there is a powerful security system and set of processes implemented. And in the off chance there are NOT such systems in place, that fact will quickly make itself known. We are living in an entirely new world, where bad actors are growing more and more sophisticated the moment we make ourselves "comfortable." So how do you remain hypervigilant in this ever so treacherous environment?DZone's annual Enterprise Security Trend Report has you covered. The research and expert articles explore the fastest emerging techniques and nuances in the security space, diving into key topics like CSPM, full-stack security practices and challenges, SBOMs and DevSecOps for secure software supply chains, threat hunting, secrets management, zero-trust security, and more. It's time to expand your organization's tactics and put any future attackers in their place as you hear from industry leaders and experts on how they are facing these challenges in everyday scenarios — because if there is one thing we know about the cyberspace, any vulnerabilities left to chance will always be exposed.
Low-Code Development
Low code, no code, citizen development, AI automation, scalability — if you work in the tech world, it's likely that you have been encouraged to use tools in at least one of these spaces. And it's for a good reason as Gartner has projected that by 2025, 70% of applications developed within organizations will have been built using low- and/or no-code technologies. So does the practice live up to the hype? Year over year, the answer is a resounding "yes" as the industry continues to evolve. Organizations have an increased demand for more frequent application releases and updates, and with that comes the need for increased efficiencies. And this is where low-code and no-code development practices shine. Sprinkle AI automation into low- and no-code development, and the scalability opportunities are endless. This Trend Report covers the evolving landscape of low- and no-code development by providing a technical exploration of integration techniques into current development processes, the role AI plays in relation to low- and no-code development, governance, intelligent automated testing, and adoption challenges. In addition to findings from our original research, technical experts from the DZone Community contributed articles addressing important topics in the low code space, including scalability, citizen development, process automation, and much more. To ensure that you, the developer, can focus on higher priorities, this Trend Report aims to provide all the tools needed to successfully leverage low code in your tech stack.
Observability and Application Performance
Making data-driven decisions, as well as business-critical and technical considerations, first comes down to the accuracy, depth, and usability of the data itself. To build the most performant and resilient applications, teams must stretch beyond monitoring into the world of data, telemetry, and observability. And as a result, you'll gain a far deeper understanding of system performance, enabling you to tackle key challenges that arise from the distributed, modular, and complex nature of modern technical environments.Today, and moving into the future, it's no longer about monitoring logs, metrics, and traces alone — instead, it’s more deeply rooted in a performance-centric team culture, end-to-end monitoring and observability, and the thoughtful usage of data analytics.In DZone's 2023 Observability and Application Performance Trend Report, we delve into emerging trends, covering everything from site reliability and app performance monitoring to observability maturity and AIOps, in our original research. Readers will also find insights from members of the DZone Community, who cover a selection of hand-picked topics, including the benefits and challenges of managing modern application performance, distributed cloud architecture considerations and design patterns for resiliency, observability vs. monitoring and how to practice both effectively, SRE team scalability, and more.
Kubernetes in the Enterprise
Kubernetes: it’s everywhere. To fully capture or articulate the prevalence and far-reaching impacts of this monumental platform is no small task — from its initial aims to manage and orchestrate containers to the more nuanced techniques to scale deployments, leverage data and AI/ML capabilities, and manage observability and performance — it’s no wonder we, DZone, research and cover the Kubernetes ecosystem at great lengths each year.In our 2023 Kubernetes in the Enterprise Trend Report, we further dive into Kubernetes over the last year, its core usages as well as emerging trends (and challenges), and what these all mean for our developer and tech community. Featured in this report are actionable observations from our original research, expert content written by members of the DZone Community, and other helpful resources to help you go forth in your organizations, projects, and repos with deeper knowledge of and skills for using Kubernetes.
Containers
The proliferation of containers in recent years has increased the speed, portability, and scalability of software infrastructure and deployments across all kinds of application architectures and cloud-native environments. Now, with more and more organizations migrated to the cloud, what's next? The subsequent need to efficiently manage and monitor containerized environments remains a crucial task for teams. With organizations looking to better leverage their containers — and some still working to migrate out of their own monolithic environments — the path to containerization and architectural modernization remains a perpetual climb. In DZone's 2023 Containers Trend Report, we will explore the current state of containers, key trends and advancements in global containerization strategies, and constructive content for modernizing your software architecture. This will be examined through DZone-led research, expert community articles, and other helpful resources for designing and building containerized applications.
Performance and Site Reliability
The concept of observability was first leveraged over 110 years ago. It was initially known as telemetry, and in 1912, it used the city of Chicago’s telephone lines to transmit data from the electric power plants to a central control station. Today, modern observability is still very much focused on the interplay of data to yield informed inputs and outputs of systems. Sprinkle in site reliability engineering (SRE), 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.DZone’s 2022 Trend Report, Performance and Site Reliability: Observability for Distributed Systems, takes a holistic view of where developers stand in their observability practices. Through the research and expert-contributed articles, it offers a primer on distributed systems observability, including how to build an open-source observability toolchain, dives into distributed tracing, and takes a look at prospective performance degradation patterns. It also provides insight into how to create an SRE practice, as well as tactics to conduct an effective incident retrospective. The goal of this Trend Report is to offer a developer-focused assessment of what the current state of observability is and how it fits in with modern performance practices.
Kubernetes in the Enterprise
In 2022, Kubernetes has become a central component for containerized applications. And it is nowhere near its peak. In fact, based on our research, 94 percent of survey respondents believe that Kubernetes will be a bigger part of their system design over the next two to three years. With the expectations of Kubernetes becoming more entrenched into systems, what do the adoption and deployment methods look like compared to previous years?DZone's Kubernetes in the Enterprise Trend Report provides insights into how developers are leveraging Kubernetes in their organizations. It focuses on the evolution of Kubernetes beyond container orchestration, advancements in Kubernetes observability, Kubernetes in AI and ML, and more. Our goal for this Trend Report is to help inspire developers to leverage Kubernetes in their own organizations.
Data Pipelines
Data is at the center of everything we do. As each day passes, more and more of it is collected. With that, there’s a need to improve how we accept, store, and interpret it. What role do data pipelines play in the software profession? How are data pipelines designed? What are some common data pipeline challenges? These are just a few of the questions we address in our research.In DZone’s 2022 Trend Report, "Data Pipelines: Ingestion, Warehousing, and Processing," we review the key components of a data pipeline, explore the differences between ETL, ELT, and reverse ETL, propose solutions to common data pipeline design challenges, dive into engineered decision intelligence, and provide an assessment on the best way to modernize testing with data synthesis. The goal of this Trend Report is to provide insights into and recommendations for the best ways to accept, store, and interpret data.
DevOps
With the need for companies to deliver capabilities faster, it has become increasingly clear that DevOps is a practice that many enterprises must adopt (if they haven’t already). A strong CI/CD pipeline leads to a smoother release process, and a smoother release process decreases time to market.In DZone’s DevOps: CI/CD and Application Release Orchestration Trend Report, we provide insight into how CI/CD has revolutionized automated testing, offer advice on why an SRE is important to CI/CD, explore the differences between managed and self-hosted CI/CD, and much more. The goal of this Trend Report is to offer guidance to our global audience of DevOps Engineers, Automation Architects, and all those in between on how to best adopt DevOps practices to help scale the productivity of their teams.
Kubernetes and the Enterprise
In DZone’s 2020 Kubernetes and the Enterprise Trend Report, we found that over 90% of respondents to our survey reported leveraging containerized applications in a production environment, nearly doubling since we asked the same question in 2018. As containerization approaches peak saturation, Kubernetes has also become an indispensable tool for enterprises managing large and complex, container-based architectures, with 77% of respondents reporting Kubernetes usage in their organizations. Building upon findings from previous years that indicate the technical maturity of containers and container orchestration, DZone’s 2021 Kubernetes and the Enterprise Trend Report will explore more closely the growing ecosystem and tooling, use cases, and advanced strategies for Kubernetes adoption in the enterprise.
Application Security
In the era of high-profile data breaches, rampant ransomware, and a constantly shifting government regulatory environment, development teams are increasingly taking on the responsibility of integrating security design and practices into all stages of the software development lifecycle (SDLC).In DZone’s 2021 Application Security Trend Report, readers will discover how the shift in security focus across the SDLC is impacting development teams — from addressing the most common threat agents and attack vectors to exploring the best practices and tools being employed to develop secure applications.
CI/CD
In 2020, DevOps became more crucial than ever as companies moved to distributed work and accelerated their push toward cloud-native and hybrid infrastructures. In this Trend Report, we will examine what this acceleration looked like for development teams across the globe, and dive deeper into the latest DevOps practices that are advancing continuous integration, continuous delivery, and release automation.
