Daily Reading List – December 21, 2023 (#229)

That’s a wrap on 2023 for me. After today, I’m on leave until January 2nd and am taking a break from blogging and such. Thanks for sticking with me in 2023, and I plan on keeping this “daily reading list” going in 2024. I received some good feedback that folks find this useful, and I’ve enjoyed doing it. See you in the new year!

[blog] Three pillars of generative AI adoption in 2024, from Google Cloud’s CTO. We’ve all survived the “massive hype” stage of generative AI. So far. Will explains where folks should focus their adoption strategy in 2024.

[blog] The Top 7 Marketing Metrics for a QBR or Board Meeting. Very good post which I wish I had when I was in Marketing. But now, it applies to what I’m doing with Developer Relations as well.

[blog] Best practices for consuming public Docker Hub content. There are tons of great images up on the Docker Hub, but you’re accepting risk when using public repositories. This post offers a few ways to reduce your risk.

[blog] 5 Tips for Building Resilient Architecture. This is a great set of anchor ideas for building systems that can withstand problems.

[blog] Google recognized as a Leader and positioned furthest in vision among all vendors evaluated in the 2023 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Cloud Database Management Systems. When I think back a few years, many folks (including Gartner) would say (somewhat dismissively) that you’d pick Google Cloud if you really cared about modernization, data, and AI. In 2023, that seems like exactly what every single company should care about.

[blog] Using Image Streaming with DockerHub. This is a powerful way to start up BIG containers quickly. Seconds instead of minutes. But does it work outside of Google’s own registries? I didn’t know about this pattern. Pretty cool.

[blog] VueFire is now stable. Web developers who like building with Vue will be happy to see that the cleaner integrations with Firebase are now ready to use.
