In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, talks to Anders Wallgren, CTO of Electric Cloud about the adoption of DevOps, containers and microservices and the dangers of vanity metrics.
Why listen to this podcast:
- Adoption of containers is increasing – one survey indicated 42% of organizations surveyed are using them for something
- Container orchestration platforms are good at managing the challenges around scaling and resilience
- Architecture is a significant challenge for agility and DevOps – the need to move away from monoliths towards microservices requires a fundamental rethink of our products
- Software organisations who are still building monolithic applications do so at their own peril
- These ideas are not new, and we have known about them for decades – it’s not the quality of the daily work that matters, it’s the improvement in the quality of the daily work
- Focus on actionable metrics – don’t show me a metric unless there is something I can do about it or it is something I should take action about
