According to a new press release, “Sumo Logic, the leading cloud-native, machine data analytics service, today released a first-of-its-kind ‘State of Modern Applications in AWS Report‘ to provide new data-driven insights and best practices to help companies build, run and secure their modern applications more effectively. Based on active data from more than 1,000 customers using Sumo Logic’s machine data analytics platform, the report delivers rich analysis of technology adoption among industry leaders running modern applications in Amazon Web Services (AWS). All businesses and industries are going digital transformation, leveraging software as a primary driver for innovation and growth to satisfy the changing customer demand. Modern applications are at the heart of this disruption, and innovators are leveraging AWS infrastructure, microservices, new organizational models and analytics solutions to deliver new digital products and services that provide engaging, highly scalable, always-on customer experiences.”

The release goes on, “However, architecting and operating these modern applications introduces new complexities and risks. The ‘State of the Modern Applications in AWS Report’ from Sumo Logic provides a blueprint of best practices, gleaned from the best and brightest who are paving the way in the cloud and modern app era.” Key takeaways include: “The characteristics of modern applications in the cloud are changing, resulting in new challenges for software and IT architects. The report shows that modern AWS-based applications are architected differently and leverage vastly different application components than traditional three-tier applications — specifically, how to run a modern application workload, which application components make up the application, and which application services to use to deliver and operate the application. This re-architecture opens up an opportunity to choose the application components and service that have the right characteristics for a given use case.”
