Sumo Logic, the leading cloud-native, machine data analytics platform that delivers continuous intelligence, today released its 'State of Modern Applications in the Cloud' report providing exclusive data-driven insights, best practices and emerging trends by analyzing technology adoption within the application stack. Based on active and anonymized data from more than 1,500 customers using Sumo Logic's machine data analytics platform, this next wave of data builds upon last year's 'State of Modern Applications in AWS' report, delivering rich and unprecedented analysis of mission-critical modern applications and infrastructures on cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform. The report is released in conjunction with Sumo Logic's inaugural Illuminate user conference, taking place in Burlingame, Calif., and will be discussed during Sumo Logic CEO Ramin Sayar's keynote on Sept. 13, which will also be accessible via live webcast.

"Today's enterprises are striving to deliver high-performance, highly scalable and always-on digital services. These services are built on 'modern architectures' -- an application stack with new tiers, technologies and microservices -- typically running on cloud platforms like AWS, Azure and Google Cloud Platform," said Kalyan Ramanathan, vice president of product marketing for Sumo Logic. "Sumo Logic has exclusive access to the rich customer data and insights that showcase the nuts and bolts of how forward-thinking digital businesses are architecting and running their modern applications on the leading cloud service providers."

The characteristics of modern applications in the cloud are changing, requiring software and IT architects to shift priorities. Businesses of all sizes are transforming at an unprecedented pace in order to compete in the digital era, but are bogged down by legacy technologies and inefficient siloed processes and tools that are ill-equipped to handle today's volume of data. Today's modern enterprise must harness this data and churn it into continuous intelligence in order to make critical business decisions. The second 'State of Modern Applications in the Cloud' report continues to reflect the emerging trends and year-over-year shifts in how businesses are approaching their digital strategy, and the ways in which they build their modern applications across each tier of the application architecture.
