While public cloud usage continues to grow, an increasing number are also moving to on-prem private clouds (sometimes even owning and operating their own hardware).

Ben Popper

The benefits that come from serverless computing can be lost if you have to spend your time provisioning hardware for your database.

Stanimira Vlaeva, Fred Favelin

Infrastructure as code is complicated enough, but building a managed IAC service is a whole other level of complicated.

Ryan Donovan

Security needs to move from an afterthought to a primary concern in software development. Here's what shifting left looks like for real-world developers.

Michael Chenetz

The number of questions across Stack Overflow surged, and new research solidifies this trend.

David Gibson, Ben Popper

IaC allows developers to supply IT environments with multiple lines of code and can be deployed in a matter of minutes (in contrast to manual infrastructure, which can take hours if not days to be deployed).
