For more than 15 years, my colleagues and I at the Software Improvement Group (SIG) have been in the business of evaluating the quality of code, architecture, and development practices for our customers. Recently, we dove into our assessment data to discover—and quantify —trends in software development, each time comparing 2016 to 2017.

Some of the built-in features ( wal_compression ) have been there since 2016, and almost all backup tools do the WAL compression before taking it to the backup repository. Attempts to compress PostgreSQL WAL at different levels have always been around since the beginning. The actual benefit of compression depends on many factors.

We're burning our inheritance and polluting the ecosystem on shockingly thin, perniciously marketed claims of "speed" and "agility" and "better UX" that have not panned out at all. That is, what was the average device in 2016? As this series has emphasised in years past, Average Selling Price ( ASP ) is destiny.

Back in 2016, I gave a talk outlining the causes and effects of the terrible performance of web apps built using popular tools on the fastest-growing device segment: low-end to mid-range Android phones. In 2016, Jio swept over the subcontinent like a monsoon dropping a torrent of 4G infrastructure and free data rather than rain.

This was a keynote presentation at the “2nd International Workshop on Performance Modeling: Methods and Applications” (PMMA16), June 23, 2016, Frankfurt, Germany (in conjunction with ISC16 ). This includes all architectures, all compilers, all operating systems, and all system configurations.

Virtualized in Hardware**: Hardware support for virtualization, and near bare-metal speeds. This was initially used via the ixgbe driver for speeds up to 10 Gbps, then the ena driver for speeds up to 25 Gbps. This was extended to instance storage devices for the x1.32xlarge in 2016. I'd expect between 0.1%

In time, these misapprehensions would become cursed articles of faith: CPUs get faster every year [ narrator: they do not ] Organisations can manage these complex stacks [ narrator: they cannot ] All of this was falsified by 2016 , but nobody wanted to turn on the house lights while the JS party was in full swing.

From 2007 until 2016, Intel was able to successfully execute their Tick-Tock release strategy, where they would introduce a new processor microarchitecture roughly every two years (a Tock release). Intel has been stuck at 14nm in the server space since the Broadwell release in Q4 of 2016. So, what has changed my mind?

With Luminary’s 21 years of experience in the digital space, my experience of 17 years in the CMS space as well as our focus on Headless since 2016, here are my two cents on what you should look out for. Microservices architecture. Monolithic architecture takes a back seat with headless CMSes. Omnichannel. For content authors.

IEEE transactions on visualization and computer graphics , 2016. If you’ve been a follower of The Morning Paper for any time at all you can probably tell that I naturally gravitate more towards the feeds-and-speeds end of the spectrum than user experience and interaction design.

Lacks in MVC architecture. React developers introduced Inferno in 2016 as an experiment to examine whether or not a library can improve the battery, performance, and UX of mobile apps. Yet, they ultimately pick up the speed. Like one has MVC model architecture, the other has a lightweight library size. Inferno Pros.

One distinct trend is a belief that a JavaScript framework and Single-Page Architecture (SPA) is a must for PWA development. JavaScript is the single most expensive part of any page in ways that are a function of both network capacity and device speed. The true median device from 2016 sold at about ~$200 unlocked.

That means that 3GB functions might not see a linear speed bump for primarily single threaded functions. There have been some improvements since re:Invent 2016 but to see nothing announced at this re:Invent was very disappointing. We plan to test this out when we get the chance. As such I was excited to see X-Ray introduced last year.
