DOP 325: KubeCon North America 2025 Review Nov 19, 2025

#325: KubeCon NA 2025 wrapped in Atlanta with unseasonably cold weather and some significant shifts in the cloud native ecosystem. The conference showed fewer vendors backing CNCF projects on the show floor, with key concerns emerging around maintainer burnout—exemplified by NGINX Ingress being deprecated despite running on 40% of Kubernetes clusters worldwide. The event revealed a maturing ecosystem where AI moved from buzzword to operational reality, with focus shifting toward conformance standards, security policies, and enterprise readiness rather than the hype cycle of previous years.

The discussions revealed a consolidation pattern where larger corporations like AWS, Microsoft, and Google are increasingly the only ones who can sustain open source project maintenance. Startups and smaller companies face difficult choices: maintain existing revenue streams, pivot entirely to AI, or attempt both and fail at both. Meanwhile, AI adoption in the ops space remains behind other sectors, with developers emerging as the primary buyers for AI tooling—a shift that's reshaping go-to-market strategies across vendors. Platform engineering continues as a parallel major theme, focusing on operationalizing infrastructure at scale.

DOP 324: Kubernetes Resource Right-Sizing and Scaling with Zesty Nov 12, 2025

#324: Kubernetes has reached a mature state where boring releases signal stability rather than stagnation. While the platform continues evolving with features like in-place resource updates in version 1.33, the real challenge lies in optimizing AI workloads that demand significantly more resources than traditional applications. The discussion reveals how auto-scaling capabilities become crucial for managing these resource-intensive workloads, with vertical and horizontal scaling finally working together through new features that allow pod resizing without restarts.

The conversation explores the ongoing tension between cloud costs and data center investments, particularly as companies navigate uncertain AI requirements. While cloud providers offer flexibility for experimentation, the hidden costs of skilled personnel and infrastructure management often make cloud solutions more economical than initially apparent. The debate extends to startup strategies, where outsourcing infrastructure complexity allows teams to focus on core business value rather than operational overhead.

Omer Hamerman joins Darin and Viktor to examine the common misconceptions about resource allocation, arguing that developers fundamentally cannot predict CPU and memory requirements accurately. This limitation makes automated right-sizing and intelligent scaling essential for modern Kubernetes deployments, especially as AI workloads continue pushing infrastructure boundaries.

DOP 323: The Security Nightmare of Vibe Coding Nov 05, 2025

#323: Vibe coding - the practice of giving AI a high-level description and letting it build applications unsupervised - has become increasingly popular among non-developers looking to quickly prototype ideas. While this approach excels at rapid prototyping and getting small, focused applications running, it creates significant security risks when deployed to production without proper oversight. The fundamental issue isn't with AI capabilities, but with treating any tool - whether AI or human - as capable of understanding company context, security requirements, and production standards on day one.

The real value emerges when vibe coding serves as a bridge between business requirements and technical implementation. Rather than replacing traditional development workflows, it can accelerate the initial phases by providing working prototypes that stakeholders can interact with before formal development begins. However, moving from prototype to production requires the same rigorous processes that any new technology integration demands: security scanning, code review, compliance with company policies, and proper authentication handling.

In this episode, Darin and Viktor explore the security implications of unsupervised AI development, discussing when vibe coding makes sense, where it falls short, and how organizations might eventually integrate AI-assisted development into their existing workflows while maintaining security and operational standards.

DOP 322: How to Build Apps That Never Go Down Even When Servers Die Oct 29, 2025

#322: Peer-to-peer technology represents a fundamental shift in how we think about data sovereignty and application architecture. Rather than relying on centralized servers and trusting specific endpoints, peer-to-peer systems allow users to verify data authenticity regardless of its source. This approach eliminates the traditional point-to-point communication model where data flows from a specific server to your device, instead creating networks where any peer can help distribute content while maintaining cryptographic verification.

The technology offers compelling advantages for developers and users alike. Applications built on peer-to-peer foundations can operate without ongoing infrastructure costs, scale naturally as more users join the network, and continue functioning even if the original company disappears. Development becomes simpler in many ways since everything runs locally by default, eliminating complex database configurations and external dependencies. However, challenges remain around debugging distributed systems, ensuring data persistence in small networks, and adapting traditional development workflows to this new paradigm.

In this episode, Darin and Viktor explore these concepts with Mathias Buus Madsen, co-founder of Holepunch and creator of the Pear Runtime. Mathias shares insights from building real peer-to-peer applications, including their chat app Keet, and explains how developers can start experimenting with this technology today.

DOP 321: Model Context Protocol for Standardizing AI Tool Integration Oct 22, 2025

#321: Model Context Protocol (MCP) represents a fundamental shift in how AI agents interact with tools and systems. Rather than forcing models to guess the best approach for tasks like creating AWS resources, MCP provides structured context that guides agents toward organization-specific workflows and tools. The protocol serves as an API for agents, allowing them to understand not just what you want to accomplish, but how your company prefers to accomplish it.

The real power of MCP emerges when it moves beyond simple tool mirroring to intent-based architecture. Instead of just wrapping existing command-line tools, effective MCP servers understand higher-level intents like deploying an application or finishing development work, then orchestrate complex workflows that align with company policies and best practices. This approach transforms AI agents from generic assistants into context-aware collaborators that understand your specific environment and constraints.

The rapid adoption of MCP across the industry signals something significant about the current state of AI tooling. While technical challenges around authentication, remote deployment, and stateful conversations remain unsolved, the protocol has achieved unprecedented adoption speed because it addresses a critical need for standardization in the agent ecosystem. In this episode, Darin and Viktor explore both the transformative potential and current limitations of this emerging standard.

DOP 319: AI-Powered Infrastructure: Beyond Hype to Reality Oct 08, 2025

#319: The AI infrastructure landscape is evolving rapidly, but the gap between marketing hype and practical reality remains significant. While vendors promise revolutionary changes with each new model release, the true challenge lies not in accessing more powerful AI tools, but in developing the organizational workflows and individual expertise needed to use them effectively. Most people claiming AI proficiency are barely scratching the surface, lacking experience with prompt engineering, vector databases, and custom agent development.

The future points toward increased specialization, moving beyond general-purpose models toward AI systems optimized for specific domains like infrastructure management, database security, and application development. This shift mirrors the historical progression from local spreadsheets to enterprise databases, but compressed into a much shorter timeframe. Organizations will need to invest heavily in secure, scalable infrastructure to support company-wide AI adoption, while individuals must start building their own agents now - these custom tools will likely become the new resume for technical professionals.

Infrastructure requirements are shifting dramatically toward a dumb terminal model where local computing power becomes less relevant than access to cloud-based AI services. The conversation between Darin and Viktor reveals that while $200 monthly AI subscriptions might seem expensive for individuals, they represent remarkable value for organizations when measured against productivity gains - essentially the cost of two cups of coffee per employee per day.

DOP 289: When to Build Your Own vs. Using Off-the-Shelf Nov 13, 2024

#289: For startups, navigating the dilemma of cloud selection is critical. While major providers offer incentives and familiarity, stepping out of the conventional path to explore other providers or even setting up specialized solutions can lead to significant cost savings and tailor-made optimizations. The balance is in understanding when to scale with commercial offerings and when to embark on more customized, potentially costlier ventures.

In this episode, we talk with Hugo Santos, CEO at Namespace Labs, about how by optimizing for specific use cases, they have identified a niche where they can outperform hyperscalers. However, this path is complex and not always practical for every company, especially those lacking the necessary infrastructure expertise.

DOP 288: The Laws of Software Evolution Nov 06, 2024

#288: Let's journey back in time, roughly 30 to 50 years ago, to an era where systems were relatively simple. These foundational systems were built with fewer components, making them not only easier to understand but also simpler to manage. At that time, the stability of a system was often directly correlated with its simplicity. Fewer variables meant fewer potential points of failure, and system operators could focus on optimizing the core elements. The mantra of the day was straightforwardness and robust design.

Fast forward to the present, and we find ourselves surrounded by systems that are more interconnected and interdependent than ever before. While each individual component or subsystem might be meticulously engineered and robust by today's standards, the sheer volume and interconnectedness introduce a new layer of complexity. However, this is not a detriment to technological progress, but rather a testament to our boundless ambition and innovation.

In this episode, Darin and Viktor discuss an article from 44 years ago titled Programs, Life Cycles, and Laws of Software Evolution by Meir Lehman.

DOP 251: Demystifying Modern Message Brokers with Memphis.dev Feb 21, 2024

#251: We're becoming more and more dependent on sophisticated systems that transport data from one part of our application to another. This infrastructure, often referred to as message brokers, is a vital backbone supporting many products we use daily. But are we fully leveraging their power and simplicity?

In this episode, we speak with Valera Bronshtein, Director of Infrastructure at Memphis.dev, about event-based architectures and why using effective message brokers doesn't have to be hard or complicated.

DOP 250: From Godfather of DevOps to Godfather of AI Feb 14, 2024

#250: Sure, we can use Generative AI to write code for us and generate cool pictures...sometimes.

But who has the responsibility for making sure all that infrastructure stays up and running? Look no further than your favorite sysadmin or cloud engineer. There is nothing new under the sun...

In this 250th episode, we have our friend Patrick Debois back on to talk about how he's researching we can use Generative AI beyond just the typical use cases that we see today and why understanding how to integrate all these new tools together may be more important than learning how to be a prompt engineer (whatever that means).

DOP 249: How To Choose Between Open Source and Commercial Software Feb 07, 2024

#249: One of the prominent discussions in the software industry is the concept of 'build versus buy.' Often the argument focuses on creating a whole system from scratch or opting for pre-built solutions.

But think about it. You never start from absolute zero. When you begin developing an application, it isn't devoid of pre-existing libraries or systems. It's about identifying the point on the spectrum from which you initiate your development journey.

In this episode, we speak with Hadi Chami from LEADTOOLS about how the key factors such as pricing, licensing model, support, maintenance, and the impact on the end product play significant roles in making this 'build versus buy' choice.

DOP 245: Building Your Best Team Ever Jan 10, 2024

#245: Imagine this. You think you've been hired into a team of all A players. Think Wayne Gretsky, Michael Jordan, Lionel Messi, etc. Instead, what's really happened is you've been assigned to the team that is nothing more than the people that played behind the people that played behind the A players. Yeah, you've been demoted to the third string team.

You think, ok, at least I made a team and I'm not bagging groceries (is that still a thing?) down at the local market. Now that you're on a team, how do you plug in and help make the team better?

In this episode, we speak with Dr. David Burkus about his latest book "Best Team Ever". We go into the 3 key areas that both the manager and the players need to understand in order to actually create a team that might even be able to beat a team of A players.

But did you know just over 4 years ago, she was a server in a vegetarian restaurant and since that time she's spoken five times at KubeCon conferences - 2 of which were keynotes?

What'll you'll learn is that just because you don't have a CS degree doesn't mean that you can't do great things in tech.

DOP 238: Unlocking the Potential of Modern Architectures Using Service Mesh Nov 22, 2023

#238: You might just now be reaching the point of containerizing your workloads and running them in Kubernetes. However, how do you go about accessing those workloads? You might have started with an ingress, because other options seemed like they were too complex.

However, you've now crossed the point where you need that complexity.

That's where service mesh can help you out. On this episode, we speak with Marino Wijay, Principal Developer Advocate at solo.io, about how service mesh has evolved over time, the challenges of adopting certain models, and the advantages of open-source solutions. We also talk about the differences between sidecar and sidecar-less models, and the circumstances in which either might be appropriate.

DOP 235: Diving Into Platform Engineering Trends With Humanitec Nov 01, 2023

#235: In the mid-2000s, Werner Vogels introduced the idea of "you build it, you run it". This concept suggested that the same team responsible for building a product should also be responsible for running and maintaining it. However, despite the initial enthusiasm, we have yet to see this phrase truly materialize in practice. The industry has faced challenges in fully realizing the "build it, run it" philosophy.

In this episode, we speak with Kaspar von Grünberg, founder & CEO at Humanitec, about why "shifting left" to the developers really isn't all it's cracked up to be and how instead cleaner abstractions can bridge the gap in understanding between non-technical managers and the developers in the trenches.

DOP 231: Automating API Development With Hasura Oct 04, 2023

#231: We never thought that exposing our databases to the public internet was a good thing. However, when we started creating middleware API services that sat in front of those databases, we probably ended up doing almost the exact same type work that we did when we created the database schemas themselves. Somehow or another, we thought this was good, but in reality, it was not the right solution.

In this episode, we speak with Tanmai Gopal, CEO and co-founder at Hasura, about how modern web APIs are developed and the role of modern databases in making development more efficient and scalable.

DOP 229: The Evolution of Installing Applications into Kubernetes Sep 20, 2023

#229: When Kubernetes was first released in September 2014, the only way we could get applications installed to the cluster was by using kubectl apply and big, ugly YAML files. Since that time, many tools have been introduced to help manage application installation into Kubernetes clusters.

However, no matter what tool you are using in 2023, under the hood, we're still just submitting those big, ugly YAML files to the Kubernetes. Once you realize this, things become much clearer.

In this episode, we take a stroll down memory lane of how it all started and what you should consider doing today when creating (or maybe not creating) the YAML files for your application.

DOP 221: Treat Security Like a Bug With Seemplicity Jul 26, 2023

Just because a finding is marked as critical does not mean that it's exploitable.

DOP 216: Simplify Microservice Development With Signadot Jun 21, 2023

#216: As your team continues down the microservices journey, at some point you've probably hit the wall on being able to test against the versions of the other services that you really need to test. You could spin up new hardware, but that becomes very inefficient and very costly very quickly.

Since you are running your production (and staging and QA) environments in Kubernetes, there has to be an easy way to do this type of testing.

In this episode, we speak with Arjun Iyer, CEO and Co-founder at Signadot, about how sandboxes within your Kubernetes clusters can help with your testing problem without breaking the bank.

DOP 214: Taking SQL to the Next Level With Materialize Jun 07, 2023

#214: When we first start developing applications, we probably also use a database. But at some point in time, we'll probably hit a wall with that database because of changing business requirements. What are we supposed to do then?

In this episode, we speak with Arjun Narayan, CEO of Materialize, about of a number of items ranging from why you should move from the no-win scenario of self-hosting to fully managed services and why you may be doing too much when building and orchestrating microservices.

DOP 213: Unlocking the Secrets to a Successful Product Launch May 31, 2023

#213: You've been tasked with bringing a new SaaS product to market. Where do you start?

Logically, or maybe not so much so, it's important to start by defining your target audience, understanding their needs, and developing a solution that meets those needs. You'll also probably end up fighting the build from scratch versus modifying something that already exists battle.

In this episode, we speak with Mav Turner, CTO of DevOps at Tricentis, about his thoughts on how to correctly assemble teams to get a product successfully launched and learning to love constraints.

DOP 212: Build and Release SaaS Pricing Changes Faster With Stigg May 24, 2023

#212: Let's assume for a moment that you are building a SaaS that you want to turn into a product. Sure, you need to make sure your authentication works, but that's really step 1 of potentially thousands of steps. Should you create all the services you really need to run a SaaS or should you pull something off the shelf?

In this episode, we speak with Anton Zagrebelny, the co-founder and CTO of Stigg, about some of the reasons why you should use solutions that solve your problem instead of trying to build it yourself.

DOP 210: Mastering Database Scalability with PlanetScale May 10, 2023

#210: If you're feeling frustrated and overwhelmed due to your current database deployment and management process not working as expected, then you are not alone! Think about how many times you've needed to maintain the schema of your database and then you give up because it's either going to break things or it's going to take too long for a migration to happen.

In this episode, we speak with Sam Lambert, CEO of PlanetScale, about how running your own database should be considered a thing of the past and that you really shouldn't be scared to make changes to your database schema when it's as simple as doing a rewind.

DOP 209: Move From Multicloud to Polycloud With Macrometa May 03, 2023

In this episode, we speak with Yaniv Leven, VP of SaaS products at SQream, about what it was like to build a "native" SaaS product in 2016 and how that differs to converting a classical on-premise application to SaaS in 2023.

DOP 204: Transform Data From Managed to Actionable With Rivery Mar 29, 2023

#204: When you think about managing data in an organization, you're probably familiar with the concept of ETL: extract, transform and load. But in this world of new data tools, the order of transform and load can become problematic.

In today's episode, we speak with Itamar Ben Hemo, Co-Founder and CEO at Rivery, about why you might want to consider flipping that order. We also discuss why if you aren't using SaaS solutions for data management, you're probably quickly falling behind your competitors.

DOP 196: Simplifying Performance Optimization Using Granulate Feb 01, 2023

Even if you get it right, it's only right for right now and not next week when you release a new version of your application, at which point you start the performance optimization process all over again.

What if there was a way to continuously optimize for performance? That's where Granulate comes in.

In this episode, we talk with Noam Salinger, Director of Product Management at Granulate, about different ways you can optimize the performance of your applications and the basics that you might not even be doing today.

DOP 195: Why Do Companies Not Replace Legacy Systems? Jan 25, 2023

DOP 194: How To Write Test Cases for Microservices Jan 18, 2023

#194: Whether you are doing greenfield development with microservices or are doing brownfield development migrating monoliths to microservices, there's one thing that you have to get right when testing those microservices, otherwise you will fail. What is that one thing?

Culture.

If you don't get the culture right, no amount of technology will fix the problems that you have now or in the future.

In this episode, we talk with Darko Fabijan, co-founder of Semaphore, about the process and structure you need to follow when migrating away from monoliths and how to make sure that you get the culture right in order to succeed in the long term.

DOP 187: Simplify Testing With Testcontainers Nov 30, 2022

#187: When writing tests that need to talk to a data source, you're usually faced with a couple of options. The first one is that you setup a database server on your machine. The problem with that is what happens when other developers need to run those same tests? They have to setup the database too.

The other option is you can mock your database connections. However, it's hard to keep your mock up to date with the latest features of the database you are using. What if there was another option you could use? Enter Testcontainers.

In this episode we speak with Sergei Egorov from AtomicJar about the history of Testcontainers and how to implement it into your development processes.

Other times you find yourself building something really cool that might even turn out to be your life's work. If you're able to run that project and grow it to a sizable monthly revenue, you could sell it and potentially do whatever you want for the rest of your life.

DOP 179: What Are Service Level Objectives? Oct 05, 2022

#179: For many decades, the use of service level objectives (SLOs) in IT has been a routine part of day-to-day business. The objectives are based on measurable impacts that each individual customer or operational unit should experience with a specific IT service. These SLOs are typically associated with costs and benefits that can be tracked over time.

But what do you need to do if you are new to SLOs? What are the pitfalls associated with introducing SLOs into an environment where they have not yet been a part of the culture? For those of you that have been working with IT for any length of time, there has probably been one idea in the IT space that has received more flak from different teams than anything else. Many people and teams still do not understand what SLOs are, how to use them and why some companies use them and others do not.

In this episode, we speak with Brian Singer, the Chief Product Officer at Nobl9, about the mechanics of implementing and maintaining SLOs in your organization.

#178: Observability has been around since the dawn of computing. Around 1992, BPF was introduced. It gave us the ability to do network packet filtering. Around 22 years later in 2014, eBPF was included in Linux kernel 3.18, building on top of what was available with BPF. Now in 2022, eBPF is helping to supercharge Kubernetes observability.

#177: Imagine this. What if you could magically turn your 20 year old Java and .NET applications into modern, containerized applications without having to spend years doing it? Also, what if you could do this with the help of AI? Seems too good to be true?

In this episode, we speak with Bob Quillin, Chief Ecosystem Officer at vFunction, about the classical and painful ways we've tried to do application modernization in the past and how AI is helping to reduce a lot of those pain points in 2022.

DOP 176: Critical Skills That Every Engineer Should Master Sep 14, 2022

#176: Many people ask us what they need to do in order to start a career in DevOps. The usual initial question is "what technologies do I need to learn?" What if we told you that you shouldn't necessarily start with the tech but with something else?

In this episode, we speak with Sashank Purighalla, CEO and Founder of BOS Framework, about the critical skills that every engineer should master in order to start and grow their DevOps career.

DOP 175: Applying DevOps Principles to Low-Code and No-Code Applications Sep 07, 2022

#175: When most people start with low-code and no-code applications, they log in to a user interface, fill in some forms and do a lot of pointing and clicking. As we've learned over the years, that is just an invitation for long-term trouble. What if were possible to treat our low-code and no-code application development the same way as we treat our normal application development?

In this episode, we speak with Gil Hoffer, Co-Founder and CTO of Salto, about a number of issues around the low-code and no-code application development ecosystem and why you might want to consider approaching these development processes in a more standard way.

DOP 174: Security Concerns in Low-Code and No-Code Applications Aug 31, 2022

#174: As more and more companies start to use low-code and no-code solutions within their organizations, how many of them are actually evaluating their security posture? Do these organizations not realize they are literally giving away the keys to their kingdoms to third party providers?

In this episode, we speak with Alon Jackson, CEO and Co-Founder at Astrix Security, about how these internally produced low-code and no-code applications present even further security risks due to the lack of professional security processes for these applications.

DOP 172: Dynamically Manage Cloud Costs With Zesty Aug 17, 2022

#172: As a developer, we might think we know how our application is going to run in production. We know we'll need a web server, an application server and a database. But what we might not know is how popular (or unpopular) our application is going to be and what the actual sizing is that we'll need in order to optimally run our application.

In this episode, we speak with Maxim Melamedov from Zesty about the different models that need to be taken into account when not only designing and writing our applications but also operating them at scale.

DOP 170: Running Containers at the Edge Aug 03, 2022

#170: Containers are one of the quickest ways we can move away from a traditional server-centric architecture, as they allow us to host software "in the cloud" without over-provisioning resources or managing infrastructure like we did with virtual machines.

What do you think about when you hear edge computing? Is it CDN, serverless functions, or something else? All of these definitions can be heavily related to the concept of edge computing. The term itself is ambiguous and hard to grasp.

But what happens when you try to run containers at the edge? In this episode, we speak with Dan Bartholomew, Co-Founder & CTO at Section, about how running containers at the edge is much more than deciding what city to run your container in.

DOP 169: How To Reduce Cloud Development Complexity Jul 27, 2022

#169: With the development trend toward cloud services, developers need to build and deploy applications in this new paradigm. However, it may be difficult to determine what is possible and what is not, because building on a cloud service can lead to unforeseen difficulties that require a more complex solution.

DOP 167: How To Secure Kubernetes Jul 13, 2022

#167: When you install vanilla Kubernetes, which security option do you take? Trick question. There are no options. It is always installed wide open. If you're just experimenting, that's probably not a big deal.

However, how many times have we had an experiment turn into a production system? Probably too many times to count. At that point, retrofitting security into your Kubernetes cluster is near impossible.

In this episode, we speak with Lachlan Evenson about his thoughts on the proper strategies to secure your Kubernetes clusters.

DOP 164: How To Monitor and Debug Microservices Jun 22, 2022

#164: When you create a monolithic application, it's usually not a huge deal to add in some form of monitoring to keep track of what is happening when. However, when you start writing numerous microservices, specifically functions as a service, the ability to simply and easily keep track of what is happening when is thrown out the window.

In this episode, we speak with Aviad Mor, CTO of Lumigo, about how to monitor large numbers of microservices and how to debug them when something goes wrong.

DOP 162: Performance Testing With k6 Jun 08, 2022

#162: Ever since the release of web applications, performance testing tools have been around to help analyze load times and many other aspects of those applications.

However, many of those performance testing tools require you to learn vendor specific languages or you're forced to point and click in order to create your tests. These requirements to use those tools made it really unpleasant for developers to create and maintain tests.

In this episode, we speak with Nicole van der Hoeven about k6, a modern load testing tool built for developers.

DOP 161: Why Incidents Are Slowing Down Companies Jun 01, 2022

#161: When an incident happens in a company, what happens? Usually people are running around trying to figure out what is going on and not communicating very well.

Most likely, that is because there is not a clear process for how to handle an incident. This is also an indicator that practicing and preparing for incidents is not part of the company culture.

In this episode, we with speak with Matt Davis and Jake Englund from Blameless about their experiences about how practice can help remediate issues more quickly and why you should do it yourself.

DOP 153: Eliminate Cloud Chaos With Firefly Apr 06, 2022

#153: Cloud has been around in an organization for a number of years and has had many, many employees and contractors managing the cloud assets. These assets have been created in numerous ways. Sometimes Terraform was used. Other times, a script was written that used the CLI provided by the cloud vendor. Finally, other assets were created by pointing and clicking in the console.

You've been recently hired into this company to fix the mess that they are in. Where are you going to start?

In this episode, we speak with Eran Bibi from Firefly about why you might want to try to get a handle on the unmanaged assets first before you do anything else.

DOP 137: Shifting Infrastructure Management Left Dec 15, 2021

#137: Many application developers have either been hearing about or having thrust upon them the concept of shifting left. But now in some places, even infrastructure is trying to get in on the game. However, to believe that application developers can correctly build, maintain, secure, and govern infrastructure is a failed experiment unless they are getting a lot of help. In trying to answer this question from Momodu, we think that we have a few possible actions that organizations can take to take this from failed experiment to a success.

DOP 133: APIs Are Everything Nov 17, 2021

#133: Joyce Lin, the head of developer relations at Postman, joins us to discuss why software produced today should be done in a "API First" manner. We talk about what it means for a product to be "API First" and how that process differs from the what typically happens in the real world. Joyce shares her thoughts on emerging trends in the world of APIs and how Postman's own business is being shaped by them.

DOP 127: Software Development vs Software Delivery Oct 06, 2021

#127: Even though it is 2021, many application development organizations still follow the decades-old process of throwing software over the wall to an operations team to deploy. This practice causes operational difficulties like organizational silos, poor collaboration, and poor user experience.

As software continues to become more complicated, application environments that are properly supported by operations teams will be needed for successful deployment into production.

But what does "properly supported by operations teams" really mean? Does it mean they are processing their Jira tickets faster or does it mean that they have provided services so they are no longer injecting delay into the delivery process?

DOP 125: What Is the Low Code Movement? Sep 22, 2021

#125: Low code is a movement that aims to further automate the development of systems and software. By doing so, it reduces the time spent on building custom applications. Low code is becoming more popular because it provides high-value features with less development time, which ultimately helps companies save money.

In today's episode, we speak with Mike Fitzmaurice, WEBCON's Chief Evangelist, about all things low code and why DevOps usually doesn't even factor in to low code solutions.

#124: If you are an application developer, more than likely you work with some sort of data set. But what do you do when you have sensitive data like credit card numbers, social security numbers or something as simple as a first and last name?

Enter Tonic.ai and their solution: de-identification of data. They take your sensitive data and de-identify it and then they give you a sanitized version of that same data that you can use to do your job without the risk of leaking the real data.

In today's episode, we speak with Adam Kamor, a Co-founder and Head of Engineering of Tonic.ai, about their solution and approach to creating fake data.

But what happens when a word is used out of context or incorrectly? In this episode, we argue that it's time to take a very specific word out of our technical vocabulary.

DOP 99: Do DevOps Engineers Need to Know How to Code? Mar 17, 2021

#99: In the nineties and early 2000s, it wasn't strange to see operations people copy and pasting "code" from Word documents, also known as runbooks, into their terminals to get their job done. It's now 2021 and we still have people questioning whether or not they should be writing code to do their work.

DOP 98: Kubernetes Troubleshooting Simplified With Komodor Mar 10, 2021

#98: How many times have you been put into the situation to debug a production issue and you have no idea where to start? Probably more than you can count. Worse yet, your employer expects that you can troubleshoot the issue without having access to all the tools that you need. Today we speak with Itiel Shwartz, CTO and co-founder of Komodor, a startup developing the next-gen troubleshooting platform for Kubernetes.

DOP 97: Processing Event Streams With Apache Kafka Mar 03, 2021

#97: A chess player knows to write down their moves so they can replay their matches and learn from them. Having the ability to replay those matches also gives you the ability to start over and see where something goes wrong. In today's episode, we speak with Viktor (Vik) Gamov about Apache Kafka and how it can help you breathe new life into systems that may not have been written in a way to take advantage of events.

DOP 90: Event Driven Continuous Delivery With Keptn Jan 13, 2021

#90: Email. Slack. Kubernetes. These things have at least one thing in common. They are all event-driven. Even if you don't agree with that statement, we can agree that asynchronous development has taken off in the past few years, thus exploding the concepts of event-driven. We are now starting to see these concepts arriving in tooling space. We speak with Andi Grabner about Keptn, an event-based control plane for continuous delivery and automated operations for cloud-native applications.
