Needless to say, the adoption of headless architecture and GraphQL will have a profound impact on application delivery and security. It will also have a significant impact on enterprise architecture, practices, and tooling. So next year, pay attention to GraphQL and start evaluating its inclusion in your portfolio, because it’s coming.
The topic of moving workloads out of the public cloud and bringing them “home” to the data center is not new, but for some reason it remains controversial. Given the macroeconomic environment, far more people are talking openly about repatriation than in the past. Some point to cloud providers’ revenue growth as evidence that repatriation is real, but I have yet to see evidence that the revenue growth is coming from more customers, rather than just more service consumption.
F5’s 2022 State of Application Strategy study shows that georgia mobile database are continuing and planning to continue repatriating. But it also shows that companies aren’t abandoning the public cloud. They’re just using it more strategically — and perhaps more pragmatically. The same data also shows that organizations aren’t abandoning data centers.
So what does this mean? It means that multicloud is here to stay, and with it all the problems associated with security, complexity of tools and APIs, and performance optimization. This is also one of the forces pushing the idea of a supercloud to the surface.
Whether you like the term or not, the concept it embodies is one answer to the persistent challenges of operating in a multi-cloud environment. I don’t see organizations going entirely cloud-based or abandoning their data centers, so there needs to be an answer to the multi-cloud madness. Keep an eye on supercloud next year, as this is sure to be the space that begins developing roadmaps and solutions to address the challenges most organizations face in multi-cloud environments.
