Beware the software marketer’s latest snake oil: futureproof software.
Our software is so resilient, so adaptable, so clairvoyant that it doesn’t matter what kind of change you throw at it, nothing will make it break.
Sounds too good be true? Perhaps. But the futureproof moniker isn’t entirely devoid of meaning. Indeed, even a modicum of ‘futureproofness’ would be an advantage over old, brittle applications that fall over when you breathe on them.
Let’s pick apart this term and see what steak we might find under all the sizzle.
The Multiple Facets of Futureproof Software When vendors describe their software as futureproof, they are generally referring so some combination of the following characteristics.
1. Self-healing. The goal of software that can address any issues in the production environment without human intervention has been with us for years, but in practice, software has only been able to heal itself in limited circumstances. Furthermore, healing capabilities generally come from the operations management gear, not the software in question... [Read the rest of the article here.] | |

There’s a lot of uncertainty about driverless cars and trucks on the roads today, even though we can predict that autonomous vehicles will soon be able to negotiate trips with greater coordination, speed and safety than their human-operated counterparts.
Perhaps fear remains for good reason, because in complex traffic scenarios, any vehicle can encounter sudden changes at a velocity where physical things like bumpers, crumple zones and airbags, and even steering and brakes may not save the passenger, or a pedestrian.
At the highest speeds, sensors, predictive adjustments and telemetry—and the ability for a skilled driver to intervene—become far more important for autonomous car safety than... [Read more] | |

When the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security or CARES Act became law on March 27, it created the Paycheck Protection Program, a novel lending program targeting small businesses in the U.S.
By any metric, the PPP was unprecedented – the number of businesses that applied, the amount of money lenders disbursed and, perhaps most striking, how little time lenders had to implement the program. Typically, new commercial loan products can take up to two years to roll out. For the PPP, lenders had two weeks.
The challenging situation sent technology companies scrambling to come up with solutions for lenders to address the program — in particular using emerging technologies such as low-code programming and... [Read more] | |

To ensure applications become resilient inside the DevOps bubble, SRE teams must harden them throughout the CI/CD pipeline.
I recently virtually attended Failover Conf, a full day of application resiliency knowledge sharing sessions put on by Gremlin and featuring a host of thought-leading customer SREs and vendor practitioners.
There is a ‘continuous’ thread running through all aspects of DevOps practices: continuous automation: integration, testing, delivery, monitoring, observability and issue resolution. All companies want to deliver faster, so to achieve agility, they also want to... [Read more] | |

Each month, “Araujo on Transformation” episodes feature conversations with Charles Araujo, founder of the Institute for Digital Transformation. We all hear a lot (too much?) about Digital Transformation, but Charles is working to ground that platitude in reality. An engaging speaker and best-selling author, Charles is spreading the gospel of business change through an equally human and technological lens. Today, we talk about “the new resilience” and why leaders need to think bigger than continuity.

Someone sends me an “Agile is Dead” article at least once a year. Are these articles just opinion pieces with no data to back up the authors’ claims or are they well-researched and thought-provoking journalism? Here’s one, Agile software development is dead. Deal with it. It was written by Jason Bloomberg and published in SiliconANGLE. In Scrum Dynamics 44, I have some fun with the author’s claims that agile software is dead because it’s 19, is impossible to scale, and... [Read more] | |

“BCP used to be primarily for disaster planning – for events like hurricanes or acts of terrorism – and enterprises would carefully prepare to sustain operations during the emergency and then return to normal immediately after the event concluded,” explained Charles Araujo, Principal Analyst at Intellyx. “Today, however, business continuity and resiliency demands that organizations be able to sustain through an acute period of disruption, and then pivot to adapt to whatever ‘new normal’ lies on the other side of it. And enterprise leaders are now coming to terms with the fact that we are now in a period of continuous disruption and need to adjust accordingly.”... [Read more]

Charles Araujo, an independent analyst and founder of The Institute for Digital Transformation, has noticed the same pattern. For example, he has seen multi-year rollouts of mobile computing accelerated to the point where they happened in weeks.The organizations that survive will have built what I call an adaptive ability, an adaptive aptitude, Araujo says. “It’s less about any one innovation than the ability to rapidly pivot around whatever may change — that, I think is very real.”...
