First Annual Software Artifact State of the Union Report Shows 1.3M Container Repos, 67 Percent Increase in Rust (Cargo) Usage, and 37 Percent Rise in Conan Adoption

JFrog Ltd., the Liquid Software company and creators of the JFrog DevOps Platform, released the results of its JFrog Software Artifact State of the Union report, which exposes the packages and binaries most in use by enterprise developers today to deliver software from design to production. Key findings indicate an intense and growing interest in emerging memory-safe programming languages for securing the software supply chain; a rise in designing for the edge; plus exponential artifact size and container usage hinting at development of applications such as cryptocurrency, metaverse, and blockchain.

“Developers are the transformers of our time – taking innovative approaches to the many ways software can be utilized to propel businesses and society to the next frontier,” said Stephen Chin, VP of Developer Relations for JFrog. “Our report doesn’t aim to parrot stated developer preferences. Rather, it spotlights the programming languages and package ecosystems in which technology and business leaders should invest from an application, talent, and security standpoint, to ensure their companies can compete and scale in 2023 and beyond.”

Key Findings

The universal support provided by the JFrog Platform provides a unique and reliable snapshot of the packages and binaries being used by developers to create software consumed by end users today. Drawing from a wide sample of 7K+ companies – of varying sizes and cross-industry – JFrog’s Software Package State of the Union report indicates the following enterprise software trends:

  • Preparing for IoT and the Edge: Rust (Cargo), C and C++ – the primary languages used when designing software to run on edge and IoT devices – grew exponentially between January 2020 and October 2022, along with Conan – the decentralized package manager for C/C++ – which grew 5.2X over the same period.
  • Containers are King: Use of Docker plus OCI containers and Helm Charts has dramatically increased over the last two years, indicating more organizations are taking a cloud-native approach and designing larger, more sophisticated artifacts for use by applications such as the Metaverse, Blockchain, or cryptocurrency.
  • The Old Guard Stands Strong: Over 90 percent of organizations are maintaining a Maven repo, which is most used for indexing software artifacts composed of Java, JavaScript, Python, and C and C++.
  • Increasing focus on Memory Safety for Securing the Software Supply Chain: Modern languages, such as Apple Swift, Go, and Rust (Cargo) are designed with built-in safety mechanisms to make the developer aware of any potential issues when coding so they can avoid future detrimental software supply chain attacks. To that end, use of Rust (and its package manager, Cargo) grew 98X since April 2021.
  • Terraform: The infrastructure-as-code (IaC) standard: Terraform repositories showed the highest growth trajectory of any package type since May 2022, indicating companies see the benefit of moving IaC files to a full-featured, binary-based, secure management solution.
  • Growing Variety and Size of Software Artifacts: Companies typically support an average of seven package types and manage more than 100,000 artifacts, with the size of those artifacts steadily increasing alongside the widespread use of containerization technologies like Docker and Kubernetes.

BigCommerce Expands Multi-Storefront (MSF) For Merchants of All Sizes to Help Accelerate Time-to-Market and Global Growth

By broadening accessibility of MSF, small and midsize merchants can now launch multiple storefronts from a single BigCommerce store to test growth strategies and streamline management across new regions, segments and brands

BigCommerce, a leading Open SaaS ecommerce platform for fast-growing and established B2C and B2B brands, today announced Multi-Storefront, previously only available for enterprise merchants, is now available as a self-service feature and accessible to small and midsize BigCommerce merchants directly within their BigCommerce store. By expanding accessibility of MSF, BigCommerce merchants of all sizes now have the advantage to manage multiple storefronts to grow sales in new regions, streamline operations for multiple brands and customize various customer segments to drive global growth.

To manage multiple storefronts, it often requires merchants to work with separate back-ends that are difficult to manage, time consuming and expensive to maintain, especially for growing small to midsize businesses. BigCommerce has removed these resource constraints by consolidating the management of multiple stores into a single dashboard with enterprise-grade tools at an affordable price. In return, merchants can better streamline operations, save on implementation and maintenance costs and create and deliver tailored shopping experiences across brands to reach and meet the needs of different buyers from around the world.

“This release of Multi-Storefront affirms our ongoing commitment to equip merchants of all sizes with easy-to-use growth tools and the unprecedented platform performance they need to move forward faster to scale,” said Meghan Stabler, senior vice president at BigCommerce. “An unstable economy is the perfect time to make smart digital tech stack investments that are agile, functional and flexible to build business resilience for long-term growth and success. Progressive retailers open to innovation will be well-positioned to succeed regardless of an unforeseeable economic landscape.”

New self-service capabilities give merchants the ability to purchase and set up storefronts directly from the BigCommerce control panel to easily begin testing new revenue and growth strategies in a streamlined, cost-efficient manner. BigCommerce’s Open SaaS approach means that new functionalities and upgrades are frequently and seamlessly added to Multi-Storefront, ultimately driving better-performing stores and experiences for merchants and their customers.

Several BigCommerce merchants have turned to Multi-Storefront to power localized experiences for its shoppers including established global lifestyle brand Ted Baker, and fast-growing brands UK manufacturer Bullitt Group, global luxury hotel toiletry supplier Vanity Group and Australian-based health food brand Healthy Kiwis.

“BigCommerce’s Multi-Storefront functionality has enabled us to launch a dedicated Australian website in a fraction of the time typically required and without the ongoing overhead of maintaining two sites. It is the perfect solution for a business looking to quickly and economically expand into new markets,” said Grant Herrington, director at Healthy Kiwis.

With Multi-Storefront merchants can:

  • Effortlessly grow into new markets by creating custom storefront experiences for various buyers.
  • Reduce costs and streamline operations by trimming down the number of systems and integrations a business relies on which can decrease maintenance costs and drive higher revenue with less headaches.
  • Empower efficiency to grow by ditching duplication of efforts with a centralized system to manage all storefronts. Whether it’s adding a new product or updating pricing, do it one time, in one place.
  • Make smarter, data-driven decisions with powerful insights from a unified data source to analyze business activity holistically, or dial in to review the performance of a specific storefront.

BigCommerce has been working closely with its expansive partner ecosystem to ensure their support of Multi-Storefront. Partners have already updated their apps to not only be compatible with Multi-Storefront, but also to take advantage of the new functionality to offer optimized solutions.

Multi-Storefront is now generally available for self-service for all BigCommerce Pro, Plus and Standard retail plans. Click here to learn more about Multi-Storefront from BigCommerce today.

o9 Solutions to Host “The Planet Needs Global Sustainable Supply Chains” Panel at SXSW 2023

o9 will be joined by Dr. Josué C. Velázquez Martínez, Head of MIT’s Sustainable Supply Chain Lab, and Montse Montaner, Novartis’ former Chief Sustainability Officer

o9 Solutions, a leading enterprise AI software platform provider for transforming planning and decision-making, announced that it is hosting a panel titled, “The Planet Needs Global Sustainable Supply Chains” at SXSW 2023an essential destination for global professionals that prove the most unexpected discoveries happen when diverse topics and people come together.

The panel, set for March 13 as part of the SXSW 2023 Climate Change Track, will explore the critical role that global supply chains play in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the fight against climate change. While companies across the globe are recognizing the importance of sustainability initiatives and acknowledging that sustainability is intrinsically connected with their supply chains, without visibility they cannot meaningfully reduce their carbon footprint. The panel speakers will discuss how cutting-edge digital supply chain technologies with advanced ESG modeling, analytics and planning capabilities are changing the game when it comes to enabling industries to truly understand their environmental impact and adopt sustainable, low-carbon operating models.

Read More: SalesTechStar Interview with Steve Terp, Chief Revenue Officer at Appspace

“The concerns about the negative impacts of climate change have expanded beyond individual companies and have become important goals for the global community. Yet, large supply chains continue to be the source of the majority of the environmental and social impact globally”

o9’s Co-Founder and CEO Chakri Gottemukkala will be joined onstage in Austin by Dr. Josué C. Velázquez Martínez, Head of MIT’s Sustainable Supply Chain Lab, and Montse Montaner, former Chief Sustainability Officer at Novartis. The panel will be moderated by Stanton Thomas, o9’s Senior Vice President of Sustainability.

“The concerns about the negative impacts of climate change have expanded beyond individual companies and have become important goals for the global community. Yet, large supply chains continue to be the source of the majority of the environmental and social impact globally,” said Gottemukkala. “The challenge most organizations face is that until now, supply chain operations and ESG have been completely separate disciplines. At SXSW, we look forward to discussing how looking at supply chain and sustainability as integral components—and coupling that with next-generation planning technology—will allow leaders to roll out more impactful eco-risk strategies that have a positive impact on achieving their net-zero goals.”

The o9-hosted SXSW panel details are as follows:

  • Session Description: The Planet Needs Global Sustainable Supply Chains
    Although 90% of a company’s environmental impact comes from its supply chain, organizations struggle to understand their true environmental impact because most of it occurs in the far-away corners of their supply chains. Without visibility, companies cannot meaningfully reduce their carbon footprint, making the fight against climate change virtually impossible. Digital supply chain technologies with advanced ESG modeling, analytics and planning capabilities will be essential in enabling industries to adopt sustainable, low-carbon operating models. Consumers will benefit from an abundance of competitively-priced sustainable product options. Inaction will have the opposite effect as disruptive climate events will make supply chains increasingly unreliable and costly.
  • Date/Time: Monday, March 13, from 2:30-3:30 p.m. CST
  • Location: Austin Downtown Marriott, Waller Ballroom AB
