Mapping the #DevSecOps Landscape 2020 Survey Results from @GitLab is guiding us towards best practices and trends in #softwareEngineering #devOps | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

This report offers an inside look at how DevOps practitioners around the world tackle the same challenges you face. With a mix of hard data and real stories, we hope you’ll find wisdom and encouragement. No one ever said DevOps was easy — not even GitLab. But it is clear that a mix of the right tools, culture, collaboration, and a willingness to try and fail will move software development teams forward.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: survey result from GitLab about devOps practices. Take numbers and % with HUGE grain of salt as I don't feel they represent the "real world" as they are skewed toward smaller organizations and (relatively) early adopters. Nevertheless, the tools and the practices and the trends should be looked at seriously in any organization. I know it will shape how I do things for le panier bleu... ;-)

An analysis on the 2019 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Web Content Management by Dries Buytaert raises interesting point: there are 2 real leaders, Adobe + Acquia

An analysis on the 2019 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Web Content Management by Dries Buytaert raises interesting point: there are 2 real leaders, Adobe + Acquia | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

In mature markets like Web Content Management, there is almost always a single proprietary leader and a single Open Source leader. There is Oracle and MongoDB. Splunk and Elastic. VMWare and Docker. Gitlab and Github. That is why I believe that next year it will be Acquia and Adobe at the very top of the WCM Magic Quadrant. Sitecore and Episerver will continue to fight for third place among companies who prefer a Microsoft-centric approach. I was not surprised to see Sitecore move down this year as they work to overcome technical product debt and cloud transition, leading to strange decisions like acquiring a services company.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: this analysis is spot on. There are 2 main platforms for large enterprises, Adobe and Acquia. I find the rise of episerver in the Microsoft area, from an ecommerce company into a full web platform very much worth taking notice.

2019 Gartner Magic Quadrant for WCM Report reflects major trends where few large platforms dominate in a market full of niche solutions and challengers - not an easy choice to make

2019 Gartner Magic Quadrant for WCM Report reflects major trends where few large platforms dominate in a market full of niche solutions and challengers - not an easy choice to make | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it
Gartner defines web content management (WCM) as the process of creating, managing and delivering content over one or more digital channels through the use of specific management solutions based on a core repository. These solutions may be procured as commercial products, open-source tools, cloud services or hosted services.
The functionality of WCM solutions goes beyond simply publishing webpages. It also includes:
  • Content creation functions, such as templating, workflow and change management
  • Repositories that organize and provide metadata about content
  • Library services, such as check-in/check-out, version control and security
  • Website management features, such as layout, menus and navigation
  • Content deployment functions
  • Personalization and analytics capabilities
  • The ability to integrate well, via APIs, with adjacent technologies such as digital commerce platforms, social media platforms, marketing automation platforms and broader digital experience platforms (DXPs)
  • Hybrid (traditional and headless) and pure headless capabilities for API-driven omnichannel content delivery
Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: quadrants are very interesting because they show progress year over year and provide insights into the market leaders and key trends. So take the included solutions and their relative position with a grain of salt, but read the content to understand how complex the world of web content management has become. Choice is difficult, at best.

Netflix is Responsible for 15% of Global Internet Traffic and video generates most of the traffic via @Statista @MHalle

Netflix is Responsible for 15% of Global Internet Traffic and video generates most of the traffic via @Statista @MHalle | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

This chart shows a distribution of worldwide downstream traffic, by web application in 2018.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: I reported in 2015 that Netflix + YouTube accounted for 55% of web traffic. Their share is down only because the other streaming video services are growing. Also interesting from this chart that HTTP (good old web browsing), now only accounts for less than 10%. This means video is the medium of choice, cable TV is on it's way out (so expect more growth) and 5G mobile coverage will be in high demand when it becomes available soon...

2015 reference is here: http://fmcs.digital/blog/netflix-youtube-55-of-internet-traffic/

Robson Grant's curator insight, January 12, 2017 9:57 AM
The internet is only 9291 days old (25 years, 5 months, 7 days including today). On 6 August 1991 the World Wide Web became publicly available.

State of the Internet 2016: web stalls, voice+image recognition & car revolution grow

State of the Internet 2016: web stalls, voice+image recognition & car revolution grow | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

At 213 pages, there's a ton of data, but here are our Top 3 takeaways.

1) The internet itself is seeing slowing growth. In the past two decades, the internet economy was affected by macroeconomic trends, but it was external issues like the housing crisis and the financial crisis that were driving the slowdown. Now it is global internet growth itself that is slowing down.

2) Typing text into a search bar is so last year. In five years, at least 50 percent of all searches are going to be either images or speech.

3) The home screen has acted as the de facto portal on mobile devices since the arrival of the iPhone and even before. Messaging apps, with context and time, have a chance to rival the home screen as the go-to place for interaction.

Farid Mheir's insight:

218 slides of jammed packed information. Soon I will be able to blog one slide of this Mary Meeker State of the Internet annual presentation per day for the whole year. Wow...

 

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT

This is an annual event for digital experts: the state of the Internet. This year, it focusses on deep learning (think voice+image recognition) and cars. Because really the Internet growth is slowing down. So is mobile phone usage. The trend thus appears to be what we build on top of the Internet and not the Internet itself. Finally.

 

Every company executive and board member should listen to this talk. Even if you don't understand everything you should ask yourself: how is our company positioned to address those trends? In most cases I assume the answer will be: we are not. This should be cause for concern and action.
