The push towards modern application environments is gaining strong momentum, according to new research by open-source pioneers NGINX<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thesixth annual survey ofNGINX\u2019s extensive open-sourceuser communityfound that the proportion of applications being built with microservices jumped from 40% to 60% in the past year.At the same time, more than 50% of the 600 respondents indicated that they were using microservices in some or all apps<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The survey also revealed that containers are twice<\/em> as popular as other modern application technologies. Moreover, 34% of respondents said that they were using containers in their production environment, compared toserverless (15%) and service discovery (7%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NGINX\u2019s research resonates with Gartner\u2019s recent prediction that 75% of global organizations will be running containerized applications in production environments by 2022, up from less than 30% today1<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re seeing a big shift from monolithic to microservices\u2011based apps. More than ever before, organisations are looking to build platforms with greater resilience and faster deployment capabilities. Without question, there\u2019s a growing confidence worldwide that microservices\u2011based apps can help improve the user experience, which is an increasingly critical success factor for all <\/em>organisations,\u201d said DorZakai, EMEA Senior Director for Solutions Engineering, NGINX at F5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A further indication of this shift is that 14% of respondents plan to embrace service meshes in the next year, a 50% jump from the number currently doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As it stands, public cloud remains the most popular infrastructure option for modern app tools (55% of respondents), followed by Infrastructure-as-a-Service (23%), serverless computing (13%) and private Platform-as-a-Service (11%).Organisations are also steadily moving away from on-premises load balancers, with 24% now using software-based load balancers and 19% sticking with hardware. NGINX\u2019scommunity survey responses indicate that the latter is set to drop to 15% in the next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New challenges and app development tools<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While microservices adoption is clearly on the rise, so too are the challenges<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key concerns include security (50%), reliability and availability (39%), system failure (39%) and performance (34%). Half of respondents also noted that application development challenges keep them up at night,particularly in terms of scale, speed, quality,tooling, and language selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Against this backdrop, API gateway management is likely to grow the most in the coming year, almost doubling from being used by 14% of organisations today, to a predicted 22% by next year. Organisations are also starting to invest more in solutions such as WAF (17%) and service delivery (11%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cModern apps require different tools,\u201d said Libby Meren, NGINX OSS Evangelist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith microservices management continuing to pick up pace, we can expect to see much more investment in open-source container orchestrators, as well as API management tools. As outlined in our research, the use of associated technologies like WAF and service discovery are also on the rise.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
