DOP 240: Supercharging Developer Workflows with Simplified Platform Engineering Dec 06, 2023

Show notes

#240: Imagine being handed a nicely-wrapped box containing Platform Engineering, much like when we were sold DevOps in a Box. An enigmatic gift, with potential benefits yet accompanied by potential complexities. It calls to question - how is this different from the countless developer platforms we've seen companies launch over the years?

In this episode, we speak with Mauricio Salatino about his take on where platform engineering is today and where it's headed in the future.

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

Show notes

#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 236: Efficient Cloud Cost Optimizations with Profisea Labs Nov 08, 2023

Show notes

#236: As you are heading into budget season for 2025, you're probably trying to figure out how to eliminate as much wasteful cloud spend as you can. But how did you get here? Instead of trying to reduce your cloud spend, maybe you should think about not spending the money in the first place.

In this episode, we speak with Anton Grishko, Chief Architect at Profisea Labs, about the necessity of building cost-efficient architectures and how AI is reshaping the FinOps landscape.

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

Show notes

#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 234: Better Bare Metal Infrastructure Management With RackN Oct 25, 2023

Show notes

#234: The shift to cloud computing has greatly increased the popularity of infrastructure as code.

But think about it. Cloud is nothing more than an abstraction on top of bare metal servers. Why can't we just as easily manage our bare metal servers as code as well?

In this episode, we speak with Rob Hirschfeld, founder and CEO at RackN, about the challenges and opportunities of managing bare metal servers as code.

DOP 233: Upskill Your Knowledge Using Wilco Oct 18, 2023

Show notes

#233: When you first start a job, you'll probably be doing good to get paired up with a senior person to walk you through the ropes. What if instead you could sit down and actually run through simulations that were created from actual events?

In this episode, we talk with On Freund, Co-Founder and CEO at Wilco, about how Wilco can help not only individuals, but also companies needing to create better onboarding experiences for their employees and even their customers.

DOP 232: Real-Time Application Security Using Arnica Oct 11, 2023

Show notes

#232: More than eighteen months in, Log4J appears to still be a huge problem for many organizations. What if there was a way to make sure those types of problems could be easily bubbled out to the right people at the right time in the tools they are already using?

In this episode, we talk with Nir Valtman, CEO and co-founder at Arnica, about how protecting your source code, applications and people will help you minimize your risk.
