Software Architecture for Cloud Native, .NET Core, & Open Source, Donald Lutz Nov 19, 2019

Show notes

In this episode of DevOps Chats we talk with Donald Lutz, Principal Software Architect, specializing in systems integration and creating large, scalable cloud applications. Occasionally DevOps Chats is fortunate to spotlight DevOps and cloud native developers doing trailblazing work in contemporary software architectures. Donald fits that bill to a "t.", as an entrepreneur and employee at startups like Faction, BoldTech Systems, and his own company Technetronic Solutions, and established companies including Via West. Our discussion focuses on creating cloud native applications in startups and large enterprise IT. Donald's currently working with one of the world's largest financial institutions to move from legacy applications directly to cloud native apps, bypassing any interim lift-n-shift moves. His work spans many Microsoft technologies, including .NET Core, runtime framework Dapper for RDBMS mapping, Service Fabric, and Azure, and opensource Kubernetes, Terraform, and Puppet (and Enterprise). During our discussion, we cover the challenges of architecting and scaling very large cloud native applications, implementing DevOps in less mature software organizations, how established software patterns benefit DevOps and cloud app developers, and the importance of giving back by hosting meetups to share knowledge and mentor others. Donald also gives back as an active leader and mentor of the FIRST Robotics Team 1410 since 2005. Join in on our conversation as we explore the complex and sophisticated inter-workings of a cloud native software architect.

App Attention Index: The Era of Digital Reflex, AppDynamics Nov 18, 2019

Show notes

Application performance company AppDynamics recently released its 2019 edition of the App Attention Index Report. The 2019 report is subtitled The Era of Digital Reflex. Whoa, that sounds heavy!! Joining me on this episode of DevOps Chats is Steve Long, AppDynamics Regional CTO, and Technology Strategy. Cisco acquired AppDynamics in 2017. Digital connections are a near-constant. Interacting with our world through digital apps and transactions are omnipresent: making a restaurant reservation using OpenTable, making payments using an app or our smartphone digital wallet, and checking our smartphones to plan and move through our day. Thus the name of the report "The Era of Digital Reflex." In addition to insights from the report, Steve and I talk about measuring the customer's experience, tieing performance back to the desired business outcoming, strategies for finding problems, and reducing the time it takes to fix problems. Join us on this compelling discussion about application performance, customer experience, and business outcomes.

Enterprise Continuous Testing With A Shift Right Mindset, Tricentis Nov 16, 2019

Show notes

Test automation and CI/CD are evolving very rapidly to achieve great speed and impactful results by DevOps teams and Agile organizations. Our DevOps Chat guest, Tricentis Chief Product Officer Wolfgang Platz, contributes his experiences to the state of the art with his newly released book Enterprise Continuous Testing. Automating software testing just for the sake of automation, is "doing the mess for less." What is the business value of each software element you are testing, and what is the right strategy for testing these software implemented functions? Automation certainly brings with it speed, but are we ultimately making incremental improvements to testing which doesn't tap into the full power and benefits of automated software testing. Our discussion with Wolfgang focuses on the need for expanding dev-testing with higher-level integration, system, and end-to-end user experience testing, which are often performed well by shared testing and operations teams. Now, think Shift Right. While Agile and dev teams often focus on the progression of creating new and exciting capabilities for the business and our customers, we still require that regression mindset that consistently validates unit tests, valuable business functionality, system integrity, performance, and operational needs.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and DevOps, Tricentis Nov 05, 2019

Show notes

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) has garnered a great deal of attention as organizations pursue automation routine tasks through automation software. RPA automates tasks integrated into digital business process automation. Wayne Ariola, Tricentis General Manager of RPA, joins DevOps Chats to discuss how Tricentis brings its strengths and heritage in software testing automation into the world of RPA. The expansion into RPA makes a lot of sense when you consider testing technologies that operate on UX domain and data models, avoiding the pitfalls of brittle screen scraping approaches. Together, Wayne and I explore how business process automation using RPA intersects with DevOps tools, processes, and teams, and how RPA benefits from the experiences gained in the DevOps community. Join us on this episode of DevOps Chats as we explore Robotic Process Automation and DevOps.
