We polled our membership at our January meeting and discussed further on the list. Here are the things that Seattle-area CTO’s said they are going to be looking at in 2015:
- Cyber security (DDoS protection; in-store POS security)
- Containers and deployment
- Minimal OS / Core OS
- Microservices (what does that really mean and how do they work in practice?)
- Networking (the data kind)
- Office layout
- Data storage and analytics (still not a solved problem; how do you really count quickly at scale?)
- Women in tech
- Interviewing for passion
-
Fingerprint checkout for mobile
- Data retention policies for big data
- Interaction between engineering and product
- Streaming compute for big data
