Technical debt and the cloud: The key steps to repaying your development deficit

Source – cloudcomputing-news.net Opinion Many years ago, I compared the concept of technical debt to a mismanaged baseball team. The baseball team in question spent untold millions on ageing veterans, rather than home-grown talent that could take them into the future. IT departments the world over tend to exhibit the same behaviours in retaining ageing technology rather than keeping up with upgrades, new methodologies, and new paradigms. The obvious result of this lack of foresight is the gathering of overwhelming technical debt.

The future of serverless cloud looks a lot like physical servers

Source – techrepublic.com In the cloud, hardware no longer matters, especially as the world goes gaga for serverless. At least, that would be the case but for one inconvenient truth: Serverless is powered by… servers. Even if one accepts that the cloud increasingly allows developers to focus on writing code and not bothering with how it’s run, the hardware that powers the cloud looks set to matter for a long, long time—something Google’s Kelsey Hightower humorously points out.
