Mobile Creates New Interaction Models

And Voice Activated w/ Automation

“Get the house ready for the night!”

Not Just:“Check mail w/ waiting at child care…” “Last minute notifications while driving somewhere”

But Also:“Mark my location”“Take a photo of this invoice and create an expense report from it”“Compare the heartbeat of the pregnant woman w/ that of her baby”“Track the expiration dates for the content of my grocery bag”

From Systems of Record to Systems of Engagement

§ Systems of Record• Recording Information to process Efficiently

§ Systems of Engagement• Effectively Engaging with Customers, Partners

§ Systems of Insight• Discovering what matters and how and when to engage

§ Systems of Automation• Taking appropriate action without (or w/ limited) human intervention

Data is the new Bacon

§ Applications are Generating Data§ From Human and from Devices§ Data is key for Many Applications

• From Marketing to Fleet Maintenance

§ Data needs to be• Connected (e.g. from Devices)

• Stored• Analyzed – In Flight and At Rest

• Acted upon – Insights and Automation

Cloud Everywhere

§ IAAS – Infrastructure as a Service§ PAAS – Platform as a Service§ SAAS – Software as a Service

§ Cloud-First Apps• Applications designed from the beginning for this new world

§ Often Wrapping Systems of Record into SoE, SoI, SoA

§ Very Competitive Space – Leverage it!

Newer Cloud - Docker

§ Container-level Virtualization

© 2015 Progress Software Corporation. All rights reserved.17

Cloud - Docker

§ Very Fast Growing Technology• Growing faster than Java was

§ Benefits:• Efficiency of resources

• Very fast startup (sub second)• Ecosystem & Standards

§ Consequences:• Faster development cycles

• DevOps – Developers create Images that are identical to what Ops uses• Delivery as Docker Images

• Microsoft Participation (Windows images)

© 2015 Progress Software Corporation. All rights reserved.18

Very Fast Cycles - ¡Acelere Señor Conductor!

Example: Slack§ Real-Time Messaging§ Enterprise Market§ 1.1M daily users in 16 months§ Valued at over $2.8B in 04/15

Example: Modulus§ Started in 2012 by 2 founders

• Acquired by Progress in 2014

Move fast!!

Developing in a Brave New World

§ Go Cloud§ Open Source and Community§ Cross-Platform Development§ Leverage your Systems of Records§ Tooling and Platforms

© 2015 Progress Software Corporation. All rights reserved.21

Cloud-First Applications

§ Built assuming the new reality of the “Cloud”§ Cheap to Start

• Very Low Entry Cost• Low Operating Cost – Pay as you go

§ Solve a problem• Most Important: Product Fit to Market• Minimum Viable Product

• Easy to Get Adopted

§ Agile• Flexible• API-First

• Micro-Services• Scalable

Cloud – SaaS Anything

§ Credit Card Processing – Stripe§ Web Site Monitoring – Pingdom§ Incident Management - PagerDuty§ Image processing - Clarif.ai§ Machine Learning – MS, IBM, Amazon

§ Services include• Web APIs, Mobile Libs, Admin,

Integration (e.g. Slack)

Progress Modulus As a Modern Cloud Application

§ Docker-based Multi-lingual PAAS• Node.js, Java, PHP, Meteor, …• Public and On-Premise

§ A representative Cloud-First App§ Leverages IaaS and SaaS through its architecture§ Very flexible and efficient

© 2015 Progress Software Corporation. All rights reserved.24

Modulus Architecture?

§ Micro-services leveraging Node.js and Docker

§ Queues tie things together§ Built all on Node.js (+ go)§ Runs on VMs (AWS, Google,

Joyent, Digital Ocean)§ Uses Docker

• For Running Customer Images• But also for Build Server, etc

• Docker starts very fast andis efficient

Open Source and Community

§ OSS is based on “virtuous circle”• Contributions help grown adoption help grow relevance• Security and performance review…

§ Creates large community• Most important in Adoption-Based Services• Enabler of new, unexpected, solutions (frameworks, new markets, …)

§ Reduces Adoption Risk• Documentation of features and workarounds

• Reduced dependency on single provider

§ Not Panacea, but Key Component§ Adopted by all vendors, including Microsoft and Apple (and Progress)
