Introducing Catio
Summary
However, the promise of the cloud-native opportunity is being only partly fulfilled, as companies struggle to navigate the growing complexity in selecting the right architectures, optimizing the cost performance of their tech stacks over time, and choosing the best cloud native services to fulfill their business objectives.Companies have evolved to pursue being tech-driven as essential not to just success, but to survival, as the mantra of tech-driven or die spreads across every industry and every geography. They are queuing onto microservice architectures and cloud-native tech stacks as the promise for this excellence, in much the same way as mass production ushered in that opportunity a century earlier in manufacturing, driving massive efficiencies and scale from specialization and sourcing of best-of-breed and most cost effective components. And yet the path to tech-enabled excellence is marred by complexity of choice and adoption, due to the growing fragmentation of the CNCF landscape. CTOs and Tech Leads, and their executive and board counterparts, find themselves navigating uncertainty between adopting the most heavily marketed solutions or trusting an organic architecture expertise which is increasingly more difficult to hone and keep up to date. The CTOs and Tech Leads lack the tools to evaluate and make the best decisions, while the business stakeholders from executives to investors lack the visibility and transparency to weigh the right trade-offs with their tech teams and gain the confidence behind their decisions.
