I like how Alex sums up the current, overriding approach to development in passing: Speed is the differentiator in almost any market that is getting disrupted by online services. In turn, online providers need faster ways to serve their customers. For example, a physical retailer will have to increasingly find new ways to minimize the costs that come with having a brick and mortar business. That means changing to a data-driven business that uses code as the base for its innovation.

After attending the IBM software group analyst summit, it was clear that IBM is going “all in” on DevOps. This is not only product-wise, but internally as well. I hope to be covering this topic more. In the meantime, for 451 clients, here’s my report on the topic, and the summary out-take: These activities feel like the start of IBM kicking off a new multi-year initiative: enabling its usual large enterprise customer base to take advantage of devops to deliver software to market with faster feedback loops.

The APM stuff is going like hot-cakes apparently. Adding to it’s developer & QA tools and monitoring (AlertSite) portfolio, SmartBear announced it’s acquisition of Lucierna. On that note, one of the analysts on my team, Dennis Callaghan, has a long report coming out on the APM as a Service market this month. I’ve, of course, read over the galleys, as it were, and it’s a good, comphrensive overview of what’s going in the APMaaS space.
