DOP 189: Code Anywhere on Any Device With Gitpod Dec 14, 2022

Show notes

#189: In the distant past, we used punchcards and dumb terminals to program. Then came the advent of the personal computer and we started developing locally on our machines. There are now new offerings that allow us to use pretty much any device that has a web browser to do all our programming. One of those offerings is Gitpod.

On this episode, we speak with Chris Weichel, CTO of Gitpod, about the history of Gitpod and why the standard developer machine is ripe for disruption.

DOP 188: Foster a Culture of Resilience With Steadybit Dec 07, 2022

Show notes

#188: Just because you've run some chaos experiments against your system doesn't mean you are ready to fend off wide ranging and prolonged attacks. It just means that you might be ready for the attacks you've created experiments for. Why? Because you probably didn't actually fully load your systems with persistent and ever-changing attacks.

In this episode, we talk with Benjamin Wilms, CEO of Steadybit, about why just running chaos experiments is just one part of helping make your systems resilient and why capturing what happens in real-life incidents can help you create even better experiments.

DOP 187: Simplify Testing With Testcontainers Nov 30, 2022

Show notes

#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.

DOP 186: Easily Get Your Code to the Cloud With Amnic Nov 23, 2022

Show notes

#186: Most companies say they want their application developers to be shipping more code faster and faster. However, those same companies don't do enough to help the application developers be successful at doing that.

In this episode, we speak with Ankit Bhati, co-founder and CEO at Amnic, about how by providing a unified operating platform for your application developers will not only help speed up the work that those developers do, but also reduce the risk in running the applications that go through this platform.

DOP 184: How To Reduce Cloud Costs Using Tenacity Nov 09, 2022

Show notes

#184: The public cloud is a powerful tool that allows businesses to outsource their data and compute to ensure security, availability, scalability, and reliability. But like many tools, they cannot be used best without understanding the total cost of ownership. By cost, we really mean cold, hard cash.

In this episode, we talk with Jason Yaeger, Co-Founder & CEO of Tenacity Cloud, about how Tenacity is tackling the problem of helping businesses understand their true cloud costs and why you shouldn't trust your cloud provider to give you the best possible discounts.

DOP 182: Why You Should Start a Side Project Oct 26, 2022

Show notes

#182: As developers, we've all started at least a few side projects. Sometimes they're just for fun, or as a way of learning something new.

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.

In this episode, we talk with Ryan Kulp about the path he took to get to Merge Freeze and how you might be able to follow a similar path.
