what's new

  • Continued development of alternatives to SQL datastores
  • Treating all code from UI to tests with respect
  • Increasing diversification and rigor in browser based languages and technologies
  • Smaller, simpler and faster applications and services

Techniques

  • Emergent design
  • evolutionary architecture
  • Micro-services(This approach trades benefits such as maintainability for additional operational complexity.)
  • server / application container end-of-life
  • Embedding a servlet container, such as Jetty, inside a Java application has many advantages over running the application inside a container
  • out-of-container functional testing
  • Experience Design (XD)
  • mechanical sympathy
  • health check pages
  • single command deploy
  • production immune system
  • infrastructure automation of development workstations.
  • Windows infrastructure automation
  • data visualizations of development and operations
  • test at the appropriate level
  • performance testing as a first class citizen

Tools

  • Polyglot persistence is the technique of storing data in various data stores based on efficiency and how that data is going to be used

  • Using NoSQL databases like MongoDB, Riak and Neo4J allows us to reconsider how data is treated, even with-in a single application

  • Riak

  • JavaScript micro frameworks：Microjs.com hosts a collection of these micro frameworks, as well as a tool that can bundle them into a single library.

  • Frank is an open source library that allows functional tests for iPhones and iPads to be written in Cucumber and executed on a remote device

  • continue to highlight infrastructure as code

  • FPM is a useful tool which makes it easy to create RPM, DEB, or Solaris packages with a minimum of fuss.

  • NuGet for .NET

  • PSake (pronounced ‘sake’ like the Japanese rice wine) is a build automation tool implemented in PowerShell.

  • Maven and Gradle

Platforms

  • NodeJS: single threaded servers with asynchronous I/O
  • private cloud
  • Hybrid clouds describe a set of patterns that combine the best features of public clouds and private data centers
  • AppHarbor is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering for the .NET Platform
  • Linux containers such as OpenVZ provide the isolation and management benefits of a virtual machine without the overhead usually associated with general-purpose virtualization
  • domain-specific PaaS
  • Windows Phone 7
  • OpenSocial
  • communication between those responsible for hardware and software.
  • treating virtual machines like physical infrastructure

Languages

  • care about languages(may find skills constrain choice)

  • Microsoft’s F# continues to evolve

  • JavaScript as a “first class” language

  • Dart is Google’s attempt at creating a programming language to replace JavaScript due to JavaScript’s perceived flaws and inherent performance issues
