Trend Report

Observability and Application Performance

Making data-driven decisions, as well as business-critical and technical considerations, first comes down to the accuracy, depth, and usability of the data itself. To build the most performant and resilient applications, teams must stretch beyond monitoring into the world of data, telemetry, and observability. And as a result, you'll gain a far deeper understanding of system performance, enabling you to tackle key challenges that arise from the distributed, modular, and complex nature of modern technical environments.Today, and moving into the future, it's no longer about monitoring logs, metrics, and traces alone — instead, it’s more deeply rooted in a performance-centric team culture, end-to-end monitoring and observability, and the thoughtful usage of data analytics.In DZone's 2023 Observability and Application Performance Trend Report, we delve into emerging trends, covering everything from site reliability and app performance monitoring to observability maturity and AIOps, in our original research. Readers will also find insights from members of the DZone Community, who cover a selection of hand-picked topics, including the benefits and challenges of managing modern application performance, distributed cloud architecture considerations and design patterns for resiliency, observability vs. monitoring and how to practice both effectively, SRE team scalability, and more.

DevOps

The DevOps movement has paved the way for CI/CD and streamlined application delivery and release orchestration. These nuanced methodologies have not only increased the scale and speed at which we release software, but also redistributed responsibilities onto the developer and led to innovation and automation throughout the SDLC.DZone's 2023 DevOps: CI/CD, Application Delivery, and Release Orchestration Trend Report explores these derivatives of DevOps by diving into how AIOps and MLOps practices affect CI/CD, the proper way to build an effective CI/CD pipeline, strategies for source code management and branching for GitOps and CI/CD, and more. Our research builds on previous years with its focus on the challenges of CI/CD, a responsibility assessment, and the impact of release strategies, to name a few. The goal of this Trend Report is to provide developers with the information they need to further innovate on their integration and delivery pipelines.

Kubernetes in the Enterprise

In 2022, Kubernetes has become a central component for containerized applications. And it is nowhere near its peak. In fact, based on our research, 94 percent of survey respondents believe that Kubernetes will be a bigger part of their system design over the next two to three years. With the expectations of Kubernetes becoming more entrenched into systems, what do the adoption and deployment methods look like compared to previous years?DZone's Kubernetes in the Enterprise Trend Report provides insights into how developers are leveraging Kubernetes in their organizations. It focuses on the evolution of Kubernetes beyond container orchestration, advancements in Kubernetes observability, Kubernetes in AI and ML, and more. Our goal for this Trend Report is to help inspire developers to leverage Kubernetes in their own organizations.

DevOps

With the need for companies to deliver capabilities faster, it has become increasingly clear that DevOps is a practice that many enterprises must adopt (if they haven’t already). A strong CI/CD pipeline leads to a smoother release process, and a smoother release process decreases time to market.In DZone’s DevOps: CI/CD and Application Release Orchestration Trend Report, we provide insight into how CI/CD has revolutionized automated testing, offer advice on why an SRE is important to CI/CD, explore the differences between managed and self-hosted CI/CD, and much more. The goal of this Trend Report is to offer guidance to our global audience of DevOps Engineers, Automation Architects, and all those in between on how to best adopt DevOps practices to help scale the productivity of their teams.
