WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation

A collection of interaction patterns that provide solutions for common AI challenges.

API usage, and the need to govern it, is increasing rapidly driven by remote working, platforms, ecosystems, innovations, digital transformations and regulations. Application leaders should use this Magic Quadrant to find the right API life cycle management vendor for their organization’s needs.

This talk describes experiences with building and deploying Piranha, an automated code refactoring tool to delete code corresponding to stale feature flags. The Piranha workflow has been used continuously at Uber since early 2018 to help delete more than 4K stale flags (> 200KLoC) across Java, ObjectiveC, and Swift code.

Our toolkit will introduce you to the market’s landscape of new eCommerce tools and highlight the opportunities for your store.

Harmonizing architecture and agile teams (like SAFe®) can contribute to the delivery of successful projects aligned to corporate strategies.

There is no doubt that the cloud is one of the most significant platform shifts in the history of computing. Now, there is a growing awareness of the long-term cost implications of cloud. As the cost of cloud starts to contribute significantly to the total cost of revenue (COR) or cost of goods sold (COGS), some companies have taken the dramatic step of “repatriating” the majority of workloads (as in the example of Dropbox) or in other cases adopting a hybrid approach (as with CrowdStrike and Zscaler). Those who have done this have reported significant cost savings: In 2017, Dropbox detailed in its S-1 a whopping $75M in cumulative savings over the two years prior to IPO due to their infrastructure optimization overhaul, the majority of which entailed repatriating workloads from public cloud.

In this e-book, we'll answer all of the questions you have about customer data platforms and help you to understand the value that a CDP can bring to your business. You will also learn specifically how a CDP can increase customer lifetime value and other key metrics.

Event-driven Architecture (EDA) is a software architecture paradigm promoting the production and consumption of events.

An event represents an action of significant interest. Often, events correspond to a creation or a change of state of some entity. For example, raising an order in an e-commerce application is an event. Dispatching a product as a result of an earlier order is also an event. A customer submitting a review for a received product is — you guessed it — an event.

Shortsighted solutions to recurring problems--antipatterns--often sabotage technology transformations.

How to build a modern, scalable data platform to power your analytics and data science projects.

Enterprise marketplaces provide many tangible benefits to both B2C and B2B companies. Application leaders can use this Market Guide to understand the complexities of operating a marketplace, which vendors can help them develop a marketplace and what features they should consider.

Companies should explore seven specific drivers to assess where the value lies in cloud. As companies assess the opportunities enabled by cloud, a detailed review of the sources of value can pinpoint where they need to focus their attention, people, and resources. Across the three dimensions, seven drivers of value can collectively generate more than $1 trillion in value.

The DIACC is pleased to publish the first iteration of the Directory of Products That Assess Identification Documents & Verify Identity. This Directory is designed to provide an overview of providers’ solutions which use government issued photo identification cards, combined with biometric facial scans, to establish Digital Identity.

We created a DevSecOps assessment to help your company level up its DevSecOps capabilities.

1. Automate security scans and tests (such as static analysis, dynamic analysis, and penetration testing) within your pipeline so that they can be reused across all projects and environments.
2. Build a continuous feedback loop by presenting results to developers, allowing them to remediate issues while coding and learn best practices during the coding process.
3. Evaluate and monitor automated security policies by building checks into the process. Verify that sensitive data and secrets are not inadvertently shared or published.
4. Automate complex or time-consuming manual tests via custom scripts, with human sign-off on results if necessary. Validate the accuracy and efficiency of test scripts so that they can be replicated across different projects.
5. Test new code within a staging environment to allow for thorough security and low-impact failure, and test on every code commit.
6. Scheduled or continuous monitoring should automatically create logs (or red flags) within a review dashboard (such as GitLab’s Security Dashboard feature).

The C4 model was created as a way to help software development teams describe and communicate software architecture, both during up-front design sessions and when retrospectively documenting an existing codebase. It's a way to create maps of your code, at various levels of detail, in the same way you would use something like Google Maps to zoom in and out of an area you are interested in.

Developers own the whole process. There are no release managers, sign offs, or windows that developers are allowed to make releases in.
We have infrastructure to limit the blast radius of bad changes
Unfortunately, sometimes things will break, and that’s ok. We have built our infrastructure to limit the blast radius of bad changes. Most importantly, we trust each of our developers to be responsible and own the recovery if their change goes bad.
Developers can fast track a fix using /shipit --emergency
Once a fix has been prepared (either a fix-forward or revert), developers can fast track their fix to the front of the line with a single /shipit --emergency command. To help our developers make decisions quickly, we don’t have multiple recovery protocols, and instead, just have a single emergency feature that takes the quickest path to recovery.

With 93 percent of companies reporting that digital is critical to achieving their goals, we expect technology leaders will come under increased pressure to plan, measure, and track team performance levers more scientifically. As a result, McKinsey decided to study this topic deeply. We found several forces converging to help bring more “science” to the management side of technology
