Tech Trends

Cutting through the hype cycle.

Our unfiltered perspective on what is actually ready for enterprise production, what is an expensive distraction, and where the industry is inevitably heading.

Trending Up

The Great 'Repatriation' from Cloud to Bare Metal

Following DHH's lead with 37signals, many mid-sized SaaS companies are realizing that AWS premiums for managed services outweigh the DevOps costs of racking their own servers.

Acriotech Takeaway

If your compute workload is predictable and highly intensive, the cloud is no longer the default answer.

Mainstream Adoption

AI Coding Assistants (Copilot, Cursor, etc.)

We have moved past the hype phase. AI assistants are now a baseline requirement for engineering velocity, shifting the bottleneck from writing boilerplate to system architecture and code review.

Acriotech Takeaway

Junior engineers must now index heavily on debugging and system design, as raw syntax generation is commoditized.

Trending Down

Blockchain for Enterprise Supply Chain

After billions invested in pilot programs, enterprise blockchain (like IBM TradeLens) is largely being shuttered. A centralized PostgreSQL database with strict RBAC and immutable append-only logs solves the problem faster and cheaper.

Acriotech Takeaway

Avoid distributed ledger technology unless you operate in a truly trustless, multi-party adversarial environment.
