10 ways the algorithm economy and
containers are changing how we build
and deploy software today

2. Peter Sondergaard
Senior Vice President, Gartner
“Data is inherently dumb.
Algorithms are where the real
value lies.”

3. Algorithmic intelligence is
at the core of today’s most
important companies

4. Three fundamental
shifts in technology:
● The Algorithm Economy
● Containers
● Microservices

5. The Algorithm Economy
The next wave of innovation, where
developers can produce, distribute,
and commercialize their code

6. Containers
Lightweight virtualization that bundles
all the application logic, dependencies,
libraries, etc. into a single package
running in the cloud

7. Microservices
An architecture where the various
functions of an app are unbundled
into a series of decentralized
modules, each organized around a
specific business capability

8. Algorithms as containerized
microservices ensure
interoperability

9. Code is always “on,” and can
auto-scale in the cloud
without ever having to
configure, manage, or
maintain servers and
infrastructure

10. The algorithm economy
allows for the building blocks
of algorithmic intelligence to
be made accessible,
and discoverable through
marketplaces and
communities

11. Containerizing algorithms
as microservices makes
code accessible via an API,
and hosted on scalable,
serverless infrastructure
in the cloud
