CIO OPINION
Software – to borrow a well-worn proclamation – is ‘ eating the world ’.
Brad Drysdale , APAC Field Chief Technology
Officer at Kong
Australian enterprises are coalescing around service meshes to power their software engineering efforts
With the rise of distributed application architectures setting up key technical questions for developers and IT , Brad Drysdale , APAC Field Chief Technology Officer at Kong , examines how software is evolving . He tells us : “ The future of software is distributed , microservices-driven and polycloud .”
When you look at the technology operations of Australian enterprises , one does not have to dig deep to see the level of focus and investment being put behind software engineering . It ’ s all-encompassing , spanning talent , tools , culture and ways of work .
Whole industries such as banking are reclassifying and recasting the roles of their entire workforces as software engineers . It ’ s everything-as-code and software-driven . Software – to borrow a well-worn proclamation – is ‘ eating the world ’.
Engineering-led workforces are naturally keen observers for how software – and particularly the best practices for creating , deploying , maintaining and optimizing it – is evolving .
The future of software is distributed , microservicesdriven and polycloud .
