Pourquoi Next.js est-il adopté si massivement ?

Les chiffres qui montrent l’adoption de PostgreSQL

… logiciel open-source, les grandes entreprises retrouvent tout ce qui faisait le succès des bases de données propriétaires. 1 - De la haute disponibilité Ils avaient ça avec Oracle et des clusters VMware. Ils vont pouvoir le retrouver chez AWS avec la base de données RDS, une gestion multi-AZ et un failover géré par AWS. 2 - Scalabilité Avant ils devaient ajouter des serveurs Oracle, modifier le VMware. Et à chaque palier négocier les licences. Avec AWS ou un autre Cloud Provider ils pourront changer de taille d’instance, ajouter des replicas etc… sans renégocier. 3 - Performance stable Les entreprises peuvent être très intenses sur leurs bases de données. Et elles sont souvent un goulot d’étranglement en termes de performance. Toutes les applications de l'entreprise utilisent la même base de données ? Il suffit qu’elle soit chahutée et tous les systèmes informatiques sont perturbés. Avant ils sur-provisionnaient des gros serveurs, c’était toute une ingénierie de bien répartir Oracle dessus. Et le stockage SAN c’est assez onéreux. Chez le Cloud provider du coin ils pourront avoir un produit de PostgreSQL haute performance : Aurora chez AWS, Alloy chez GCP. Et tout sera managé. 4 - Sécurité et conformité Oracle avait bien toutes les fonctionnalités et VMware apportait du cloisonnement. Dans le Cloud, on utilisera l’IAM du fournisseur, on mettra en place du chiffrement KMS. Un argument de vente d’Oracle était de permettre des certifications de sécurité comme le HDS ou le SOC2 plus facilement. C’est possible avec un hébergeur bien sélectionné et une base PostgreSQL. Le Move2Cloud en quelques chiffres. Cette année, c’est Atlassian qui a migré 4 millions de bases de données. De PostgreSQL sur RDS à Aurora qui est le produit haut de gamme chez AWS. Notion communique également sur le sharding de base de données PostgreSQL. Instagram continue d’optimiser son PostgreSQL depuis 2020. L’URSSAF raconte même chez

Les 3 tendances tech qui vont redéfinir le rôle du développeur dans les 5 prochaines années

… requêtes et rester maître de la conversation. Il faut travailler cette compétence sans se laisser abandonner à la vibe. Dès aujourd’hui, et rester vigilant comme avec le lait sur le feu. Le DevSecOps fait partie des tendances tech 2026. On a fait un webinar sur le sujet chez Insitoo, en live sur Linkedin, en replay sur Youtube. Avec le Cloud et l’IA, la Cybersécurité est le troisième secteur qui continue de résister à la crise depuis 2023. Encore cette année, la France a été championne des fuites de données. Et cela explique pourquoi tout le monde investit dans la sécurité de ses systèmes informatiques. Pour les Devs, la pipeline logiciel va adopter de nouveaux antagonistes : le SBOM, le SAST et le DAST. J’explique ces gros mots. La menace : les attaques sur la supply chain logicielle. De Log4J à Shai-Hulud, un ver répliquant qui a contaminé plusieurs centaines de paquets NPM, on a connu une dizaines d’attaques sur la supply chain. On peut citer `ua-parser-js`, xz-utils, `es-lint-config-prettier`, `Vidar`. Les incidents sont tous variés, tous nouveaux. Et cela ne va pas se calmer en 2026. Le SBOM devient une tendance phare en 2026. Vous avez peut-être connu en industrie le BOM, le Bill of Materials : la liste des pièces nécessaires pour assembler un iPhone ou une imprimante. Le SBOM, ou Software Bill of Materials, applique exactement le même principe au logiciel. Une étude de 2024 montrait que 51 % des entreprises n’ont toujours pas de SBOM. Pourtant, sa généralisation est actée : il devient obligatoire avec le Cyber Resilience Act à partir de 2027, et en France, l’ANSSI le mentionne dans ces guides parus en 2025. L’enjeu, c’est la capacité à savoir ce qui se trouve dans son logiciel. C’est exactement ce que le SBOM apporte. Les éditeurs de CI/CD comme Github proposent déjà des scanners de dépendances. Un format, le CycloneDX a l’air de s’imposer comme un standard. Et ils déploient également des SAST et
