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

Show notes

#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

Show notes

#209: Many people think they want to take their applications and run replicas of those applications on different cloud providers to mitigate risk. What if instead you created your applications to leverage the benefits of all the different cloud providers?

In this episode, we speak with Chetan Venkatesh, CEO and founder of Macrometa, about why using multiple cloud services to run cookie cutter versions of your applications is actually a bigger problem than it might seem on the surface.

DOP 207: What Did It Take To Bring SQreamDB to SaaS? Apr 19, 2023

Show notes

#207: When you begin building a SaaS product, it's pretty straightforward. Open an account with one of the big 3 hyperscalers, upload your code, then profit! Ok, only those first two are guarantees. The third one is up for interpretation.

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.

Show notes

#206: As an application developer, you're probably used to pulling libraries from Maven Central, PyPI, or npm Registry. Has it ever crossed your mind how secure is this thing that I'm pulling or do you just YOLO so you can get the job done?

In this episode, we speak with Stephen Chin, VP of Developer Relations at JFrog, about Pyrsia, an open source project that helps protect the open source supply chain so you can have confidence in the libraries that you use.

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

Show notes

#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 203: Dealing With Flaky Tests and Broken Builds With Aviator Mar 22, 2023

Show notes

203: Given a choice, would you rather have broken builds or flaky tests? At least with a broken build, you have certainty of what is happening. How do you go about eliminating both from your environment?

In this episode, we speak with Ankit Jain, CEO at Aviator, about different ways you can approach these two issues. We also dive head first into the debate about whether you should be using a monorepo in your organization.

DOP 202: Go From Docker Compose to Kubernetes Using Shipyard Mar 15, 2023

Show notes

#202: How many people love Helm? Yeah, that's what we thought. A lot of the time, you're probably looking for an easier and simpler way to manage installing applications into a Kubernetes cluster.

You might be wishing that you could use something as simple as Docker Compose to do that, but you can't see a way forward.

In this episode, we speak with Benjie De Groot, Co-Founder at Shipyard, about how approaching development from the human side instead of the machine side can make this possible.
