Hudson continues to show very nice growth; This post reports on three different indicators.
|
Seiji Sogabe recently did an analysis of the addition of new Hudson plugins, and the pace is accelerating: there were 55 new plugins in 2008, while half-way through 2009 we already are up to 44. Seiji represented this new created a chart to show this graphically in a chart, also shown to the left. See Kohsuke's post for an english version of Seiji's note. |

The number of job offerings at Indeed.com where Hudson is listed is also growing. Unfortunately, "Hudson" is too common a term to search on it, so I approximated the growth trend by adding "Continuous" and "Integration"; the result is here. As a reference, I compared the growth with CruiseControl, using relative and absolute metrics. The results (absolute and relative) shows that CruiseControl has flattened while Hudson is growing. |
Counting the actual number of jobs is harder, but an approximation suggests that CruiseControl still has more entries than Hudson, but not by much - see trend comparison, CC jobs (121) and Hudson jobs (97).

Finally, Kohsuke also reports on Adoption at Eclipse, where Hudson was the #1 CI tool, ahead of CruiseControl and Bamboo. |

I periodically check on the number of job postings for GlassFish at Indeed.com. The number is still quite small but it continues to grow very well (trend). But today I decided to check the relative (% of job market) growth, and that is even better; and, then to compare it with the usual suspects, and that is extra better (live, archived). |
The growth rate is very encouraging, specially as it is mirrored by internal metrics, like new customers (sorry, can't share), and external, like Google trends (live, archived). I think the message of Excellent Price-Performance is working.
We are looking for a senior engineer to work in the Web Tier of the GlassFish Server; see the Job Description.

What does it mean to work at Sun? Check out Blogs.Sun.Com for perspectives, but a key part for me is that Sun is large enough to invest in efforts from ZFS to Constellation and BlackBox, and to place bets in Open Source and MySQL but it is small enough that I know most of the influencers in the company. Also, Sun's basic principles are well aligned with mine. |
So, check out the Job Description and let us know if you are interested. I've been at Sun for 18 years; none of them have been boring!
Time for an update on a few Adoption Metrics.

The GeoMap now has data up til May 2008. The map now records 3,283,340 separate "Admin Pings" corresponding to 375,828 different IP addresses representing live GlassFish Server instances. Check previous entries for the applicable disclaimers. Indeed.com is an online job aggregator and provide job trend data. GlassFish jobs are still a small number but they are growing fast, see live and snapshot. Google continues their traditional Term Search Trend (Live, Snapshot) and also has a new Website Trend. The latter only shows all of Java.Net but also shows common terms searched - more on that later. |

Nazrul has a job opening in his group to help develop GlassFish. Check Nazrul's note and the Job Description. Entry-level (I presume that includes "recent grads"), any geography. Contact Nazrul if interested. |
BTW - I've just started tracking GlassFish job offers at Indeed.com (Live Trend, Snapshot) - jobs is probably one of the last things to start showing adoption, but it is nice to see it finally traking the Other Adoption Indicators. And yet another indicator is GlassFish-Questions@LinkedIn.
