InfoQ recently released the DevOps and Cloud InfoQ Trends Report – June 2022
, because the technical fields covered in the report are too broad, this article is only a personal interpretation of this report. I basically agree with the division of “innovator” and “late mass” stage technologies among the technologies I am concerned with.
report summary
The following excerpt is taken from the original takeaways:
- Data observability will help businesses better understand and troubleshoot their data-intensive systems.
- Cloud-native applications are also increasingly adopting serverless and distributed SQL databases.
- FinOps will come of age.
- eBPF and WASM are exciting new technologies being used to unlock new approaches to observability, monitoring and security within service meshes. We think this is in the innovator stage.
- Low-code or no-code platforms continue to mature, especially for internal tooling and automation use.
- We’re also seeing the trend of “developer experience as a decision driver” gaining more attention, especially in the cloud platform space. The role of “platform engineer” is emerging in organizations of many sizes to support the construction of relevant platform abstractions, APIs, and tools.
Interpretation of the report
I don’t know why this report is named “DevOps and Cloud”. I think it’s okay to change the name to “Cloud Computing” and “Cloud Native”. It may be to continue the previous report style. After all, InfoQ has There have been many issues of this type of report. This type of report divides the current popular technology into the following stages according to the “chasm theory”:
- innovator
- early adopter
- early public
- late public
- Laggard
But there is no “laggards” stage in the InfoQ report.
What is Gap Theory?
The gap theory refers to the biggest obstacle encountered by high-tech products in the marketing process: there is a huge gap between the early market of high-tech enterprises and the mainstream market. Whether it can successfully cross the gap and enter the mainstream market can successfully win the pragmatism. The support of the people determines the success or failure of a high-tech product. Virtually every new technology experiences a chasm. The key is to adopt appropriate strategies to enable high-tech companies to successfully “cross the chasm”, Moore tells people in this book some untested winning secrets.
The figure below shows the classification and proportion of people at different stages in the theory of crossing the gap.
Classification and Proportion of Populations at Different Stages in Crossing the Gap Theory
Let’s take a look at InfoQ’s new “Cloud and DevOps” trend report for June.
Software Development Cloud and DevOps Trends (June 2022)
We can see that things like low code, eBPF, Data Mesh, WASM have already appeared in the innovator’s sight. Service mesh is still in the “early adopter” stage, which is a lot slower than I expected. I thought service mesh had crossed the chasm, what do you think?
