My post Good Times for Load Testing was published in 2014. I am not so upbeat as I was in 2014. IBM Rational Performance Tester and IBM Rational Performance Tester on Cloud (including no charge Starter Edition) appear to be available. It is difficult to believe that 5 years passed… Are times still good for load testing?

When Amazon launched AWS Lambda in 2014, it ushered in a new era of serverless computing. In fact, Gartner predicts that cloud-native platforms will serve as the foundation for more than 95% of new digital initiatives by 2025 — up from less than 40% in 2021. At AWS re:Invent 2021 , the focus is on cloud modernization.

Why is it that Google, a company once known for its distinctive “Do no evil” guideline, is now facing the same charges of “surveillance capitalism” as Facebook, a company that never made such claims? That’s exactly what Google, Amazon, and Meta are doing today. They start to collect robber baron rents.

So, he started selling open source Linux and Unix operating systems with his famous sales pitch “You wouldn’t buy a car with the hood welded shut”. The name he chose for his product was – unsurprisingly – “Red Hat Linux”, and soon became famous as a stable and easy-to-use operating system. What makes these solutions great?

Nobody frames it precisely this way; instead they'll say, if WebKit weren't mandated, Chromium would take over , or Google would dominate the web if not for the WebKit restriction. The New York Times reported in late 2020 that Google now pays Apple between $8-12 billion per year , up from $1 billion in 2014.

Google created Kubernetes to help developers better manage their containerized applications across clusters. Although a beta version was released in 2014, the first stable release of Kubernetes was just made available in September 2018. Of course, managing such apps across more than one machine can get complicated very quickly.
