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

Show notes

#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

Show notes

#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.

In this episode, we speak with Ala and Aaron from Klotho about how complexity cannot be avoided as well as how operations teams are on the rise.

DOP 167: How To Secure Kubernetes Jul 13, 2022

Show notes

#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

Show notes

#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 163: What Is Kubecost? Jun 15, 2022

Show notes

#163: When you first start out with Kubernetes, probably the last thing on your mind is how much it costs. So how does one figure out what a Kubernetes cluster costs?

In this episode, we speak with Webb Brown from Kubecost about the tradeoffs between hard cost, optimization and efficiency.

DOP 162: Performance Testing With k6 Jun 08, 2022

Show notes

#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.
