Containers provide real, tangible benefits to development and IT teams but even though one cannot ignore their growing popularity, now that we’re just one year away from 451 Research’s prediction that containers will be a $2.7 billion market by 2020 we need to ask ourselves: what’s next for containers? Banjot Chanana, VP of product at Docker believes that “in the next year, we’ll see an increase in enterprises taking advantage of containers in a multi-cloud architecture to ensure they receive the right business benefits each cloud can offer.”

The serverless trend is nowhere near its fading point. On the contrary, it seems that 2019 could be its breakthrough year, according to Erez Berkner, CEO & co-founder of Lumigo.
