DOP 199: Test Your Distributed Applications Using Helios Feb 22, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, we speak with Ran Nozik, CTO and co-founder of Helios, about the current state of OpenTelemetry and how using OpenTelemetry may save us a lot of time troubleshooting issues in production if we first start using while we are developing our applications.

DOP 198: Securing Your Runtime With Spyderbat Feb 15, 2023

Show notes

#198: It's the dream that many of us have. We set out to build a service that gains a lot of adoption. However, we when reach that goal, we find that building something successful can make it an attractive target for attackers.

In this episode, we speak with Brian Smith, CTO of Spyderbat, about how traditional security tools don't meet the dynamic requirements of Kubernetes and that the processes we put in place to manage our runtime security need to be part of a shift-left approach.

DOP 197: Is Your Job Stuck 20 Years in the Past? Feb 08, 2023

Show notes

#197: Do you feel like you are working in a company that is not only behind the times but behind the century? If you feel stuck, is it because you're too scared to search for another job and losing all the benefits you've accrued over the years at your current company?

In this episode, we talk about a couple of Reddit and Twitter threads that surprised us, but in reality, they shouldn't have. It's a very sobering reminder that not everyone is not only working on the latest and greatest, some are just now moving to technology that has already reached end of life.

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

Show notes

#196: Where do you start when you work on optimizing the performance of your application? The number of options can seem overwhelming. Do you start with memory, CPU, network, or somewhere else? 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

Show notes

#195: Most companies have decades of legacy systems running their day-to-day business. They're difficult to replace with newer systems, and they're costly to maintain. But they also offer security, stability, and consistency. The challenge is deciding how to make them work in the modern world.

In this episode, we talk with Robert Cooke, CTO and Founder at 3forge, about why replacing legacy systems is not a simple as just doing it and also why open source may not be the answer that everyone thinks it is.

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

Show notes

#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 193: Automatic AI-Powered Database Tuning Using OtterTune Jan 11, 2023

Show notes

#193: As a database administrator, you probably want to spend more time trying to make things better for people using your database instead of always chasing down the latest tuning parameters or queries that are causing problems. There are only 24 hours in a day and you're not sure if you'll ever be able to really make things any better with the schema changes and data volume that are constantly being thrown at the database you manage.

In this episode, we talk with Andy Pavlo, CEO at OtterTune, about the knobs that should be turned in Postgres or MySQL before you even start trying to do any index or query tuning.
