    How to Succeed with Cloud Services?
    (Business & Information Systems Engineering: Vol. 61, No. 2, 2019) Trenz, Manuel; Huntgeburth, Jan; Veit, Daniel
    How can cloud providers be successful? Severe competition and low up-front commitments create enormous challenges for providers of consumer cloud services when attempting to develop a sustainable market position. Emergent trends like consumerization lead to high growth rates and extend the reach of these services far into the enterprise sphere. Using a freemium model, many providers focus on establishing a large customer base quickly but fail to generate revenue streams in the long run. Others charge consumers early but do not reach their growth targets. Based on a representative sample of 596 actual cloud service users, the study examines how consumer cloud services can become self-sustainable on the basis of the user base and revenue streams they generate. The authors identify two mechanisms that influence the success of consumer cloud services, dedication- and constraint-based mechanisms, and show how they drive different elements of success. They find that satisfaction impacts the success of cloud services in terms of user generation and continuance, while switching barriers need to be in place to generate revenues. The results indicate that focusing on a single success element can be misleading and insufficient to understand the success of cloud services. The key findings are used to derive recommendations for three generic strategies that cloud providers can apply to become successful in their competitive market environment.

    IDE Support for Cloud-Based Static Analyses
    (Software Engineering 2022, 2022) Luo, Linghui; Bodden, Eric
    We present a user study with developers at Amazon Web Services on their expectations of IDE support for cloud-based static analyses. The paper was originally presented at ESEC/FSE 2021. Many companies are providing Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools as a service. These tools fit well into CI/CD, because CI/CD allows time for deep static analyses on large code bases and prevents vulnerabilities in the early stages of the development lifecycle. In CI/CD, the SAST tools usually run in the cloud and provide findings via a web interface. Recent studies show that developers prefer seeing the findings of these tools directly in their IDEs. Most tools with IDE integration run lightweight static analyses and can give feedback at coding time, but SAST tools take longer to run and usually are not able to do so. Can developers interact directly with a cloud-based SAST tool that is typically used in CI/CD through their IDE? We conducted a user study to explore how such IDE support should be designed. Through this study we identified the key design elements expected by developers and investigated whether an IDE solution fits better into developers’ workflow in comparison to a web-based solution.
