Architects are certainly feeling the pressure of digital transformation – 41% say they are under high or extremely high pressure, and 68% say that getting the right technologies in place for digital transformation can seem an insurmountable task.
Despite this pressure, architects are still having to scale back their ambitions. It is well understood that legacy systems and infrastructure can hold back change – and legacy databases are still one of the largest
constraints.
Another challenge is the changing nature of infrastructure. Most organizations are moving towards a multi-cloud approach, using a variety of methods to deploy their database infrastructure – from private cloud to Database-as-a-Service.
Ensuring digital architects have the technology and confidence they need to implement digital transformation projects will be key to success.

In working with some of the world’s largest enterprise mobility teams, Mobile Labs has had the opportunity to observe some of the most successful mobile testing labs in action. The best practitioners manage to retain the traditional goals of QA while incorporating new requirements brought forth by mobile while solving new challenges mobility imposes on apps, devices, developers, testers, and users alike. Finding a point of entry means making decisions in eleven key areas, implementing plans based on those decisions and then executing.

With customer growth trending up, Drift needed a way to be able sustain new AI-based features and increased customer utilization, while simultaneously reducing cost and improving product margins.
They turned to CloudZero, whose cost-mapping features and anomaly alerts helped them to save over $150K a month in AWS costs, enable a culture of cost-conscious engineering and improve the relationship between DevOps and finance.
Anyone who builds on AWS knows controlling costs and eliminating waste can be challenging, especially if you’re not sure where to look or your cloud environment isn’t optimized perfectly. In this detailed guide, CloudZero founder Matt Manger highlights some practical steps you can take to better assess your bill and reduce your AWS spend, including:
Everyone knows that infrastructure automation is fundamental to any DevOps platform. However, infrastructure automation requires not only coding abilities, but also cloud network, security and cost expertise, and Infrastructure as Code skills. It’s not something developers want to waste their time on. Being able to provide on-demand self-service infrastructure provisioning and deployment to dev teams can free them from building and maintaining their own cloud automation. It makes it possible for developers to focus on developing the features and products that really matter.
But as self-service increases in popularity and becomes a mandatory requirement, you may ask yourself: are all self-services created equally?
In this webinar, Maya Ber Lerner, CTO at Quali, reviews common implementations of self-service and on-demand infrastructure, as well as shares best practices for choosing the right implementation.
An Introduction to cross-platform hybrid development for architects and development leaders
The growing adoption of hybrid is evident in a recent Forrester survey that found two-thirds of developers are choosing a cross-platform or web-based approach over native tools. Meanwhile, top brands like Target, Nationwide, and Southwest Airlines have chosen
a hybrid approach over native to power apps for their customers and employees.
This five-step blueprint to creating efficient and informed teams using automated business processes and centralized data streams will show you how to:
— Fill the gaps between siloed systems;
— Choose a solution to drive automation and insight;
— Plan for your automation implementation;
— Checklist tasks for full implementation; and
— Assess the value of each new process.

Process is the lifeblood of every business, and yet too many organizations suffer from processes that
are inefficient and unsustainable. Whether your organization is stuck navigating a snarl of unwieldy
spreadsheets and emails or painstakingly customizing large, complex systems with part-time support
from overworked technical teams, the result is the same: a bogged-down business with frustrated
employees, customers, and shareholders.
This practical guide will show you how to lower operating costs, increase efficiency, and improve customer satisfaction through process improvement. Among the keys are being able to rapidly adapt to change and non-stop production.
Businesses today struggle as a result of the three big challenges with traditional analytics products – legacy tools that won’t work with all of their data, that don’t have the architecture to handle big data, and that can’t take actions in real-time to keep them ahead of the competition.
Qrvey is the next generation of business analytics that moves beyond visualizations to include data collection, transformation, automation and machine learning, providing the fastest and easiest path to harness the full power of AWS without coding. By bringing analytics into the age of microservices, Qrvey’s platform empowers its customers to build and embed highly performant analytic applications that can be widely distributed. At Qrvey, embedding is not a feature set, it’s a mindset.

In an Agile world, software and IT teams are under constant pressure to move faster. Typically, this means decreasing the relative length of delivery time while continuing to improve quality on each successive release. At the same time, there’s always pressure to minimize testing costs.
An emphasis on testing and quality has made a huge emergence in the software market, where “move fast and break things” is no longer viable. A quality assurance movement known as “shift-left testing” has come along in response to this mantra.
This e-book will cover:
1) Why you won’t survive if you don’t shift
2) How your testing processes should change when you adopt a shift-left testing methodology
3) Who needs to be involved in this movement and how
4) Case studies about how to pioneer the shift in your teams
