The enterprise app market has been growing faster than ever before, due to the recent spike in demand for AI / ML workloads. These new types of apps operate over large sets of data, have increasingly higher compute demands, require strict data privacy protections, provide very sophisticated web experiences, and need to be secure at all stages of their life cycles. While such apps are being created at a very fast pace, there are two main challenges.
