Tracking Drug Smugglers and Migrating Databases with Benny Keinan and Lior Resisi
Maritime logistics is the process organizing the movement of goods across the ocean. Historically, this has been a challenging problem because of the multinational nature of shipping, as well as piracy, smuggling, and legacy technology. It's also profoundly important for security reasons, and because 90% of what we buy travels over the oceans. Ocean vessels produce a lot of CO2, which adds climate change and energy dimensions to maritime logistics.
Windward AI is a maritime logistics platform that was started 13 years ago by two ex-Israeli naval officers. The idea for the company came from the observation that, at that time, it was hard or impossible to know what's happening on the deep sea.
Benny Keinan is the VP of R&D and Lior Resisi is the Data Platforms Group Lead at Windward AI. They join the podcast today to talk about the technical and practical challenges of maritime logistics, why Rockset was the right database for their unique datasets, the impact of the Ukraine war, and more.
This episode is hosted by Lee Atchison. Lee Atchison is a software architect, author, and thought leader on cloud computing and application modernization. His best-selling book, Architecting for Scale (O’Reilly Media), is an essential resource for technical teams looking to maintain high availability and manage risk in their cloud environments.

Software Supply Chain Security with Michael Lieberman
One of the most famous software exploits in recent years was the SolarWinds attack in 2020. In this attack, Russian hackers inserted malicious code into the SolarWinds Orion system, allowing them to infiltrate the systems of numerous corporations and government agencies, including the U.S. executive branch, military, and intelligence services.
This was an example of a software supply chain attack, which exploits interdependencies within software ecosystems. Software supply chain security is a growing issue, and is particularly important for companies that rely on large numbers of open source dependencies.
Michael Lieberman is the Co-Founder and CTO of Kusari and has an extensive background in software security from his time at Citi Bank, MUFG and Bridgewater. He’s also active in the open source and security communities, including the Open Source Security Foundation and Cloud Native Computing Foundation. Michael joins the show today to talk about challenges and strategies in software supply chain security.

The Right to Be Forgotten with Gal Ringel
Data breaches at major companies are so now common that they hardly make the news. The Wikipedia page on data breaches lists over 350 between 2004 and 2023. The Equifax breach in 2017 was especially notable because over 160 million records were leaked, and much of the data was acquired by Equifax without individuals' knowledge or consent. Data breaches are increasingly costly to companies and to affected users who must deal with the ensuing identity theft.
In 2018 the European Union implemented the General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR. Despite its mild name, the GDPR had major consequences for individuals' rights to control their data, and for companies that operate in the EU. Among other things, it gives the right to have personal data removed from a company’s records. This is the so-called "right to be forgotten".
Gal Ringel is the Co-Founder and CEO of Mine, which allows users to identify which companies have their data, and it automates the process of removing data on behalf of its users. In this way, Mine aims to reduce online exposure and minimize risk for anyone using online services. Gal joins the show today to talk about his company, the impact of GDPR, and how his experience in military intelligence, venture capital, and tech led him to co-found the company.

Figma Dev Mode with Marcel Weekes
One of the key challenges that teams encounter is how to smoothly collaborate on converting a design into code. For example, if a designer designs a web component, how can it be most efficiently implemented by a developer? What happens if the designer needs to adjust the design and communicate this change to the developer? These sorts of issues can often lead to inefficiencies and frustrations on a team.
Figma recently announced Dev Mode which aims to smooth design and developer collaboration. The idea is to tie the visual language of designers to the actual component implementation of the developer.
Marcel Weekes is VP of Product Engineering at Figma, and before that he spent 6 years at Slack. Marcel joins the show today to talk about Dev Mode, how it will boost collaboration between designers and devs, and the new Figma VS Code plugin that brings design into the IDE. Marcel also talks about the concept of the “new manager death spiral”, and how individual contributors, or ICs, ca…

The Astro Framework with James Quick
Frontend web frameworks are software toolkits that handle many of the low-level and repetitive aspects of building a website. These frameworks have made it easier than ever to build a modern website. The open-source Astro framework was created in 2021 for the purpose of creating simple static sites that load quickly. A key factor to its high performance is that, by default, webpages don't include any JavaScript. However, Astro gives users the ability to opt into using JavaScript wherever it makes sense in their projects. Astro also has the file based routing and server side rendering capabilities found in frameworks like NextJS.
James Q. Quick has worked at Microsoft, PlanetScale, and Auth0 and is a popular technical content creator. He's an advocate of the Astro framework and joins the show to talk about what distinguishes it from NextJS, Sveltekit, and other major frameworks.

Chronosphere with Martin Mao
Observability software helps teams to actively monitor and debug their systems, and these tools are increasingly vital in DevOps. However, it's not uncommon for the volume of observability data to exceed the amount of actual business data. This creates two challenges - how to analyze the large stream of observability data, and how to keep down the compute and storage costs for that data.
Chronosphere is a popular observability platform that works by identifying the data that's actually being used to power dashboards and metrics. It then shows the cost for each segment of data, and allows users to decide if a metric is worth that cost. In this way, technical teams can manage costs by dynamically adjusting which data is analyzed and stored. Martin Mao is the Co-founder and CEO of Chronosphere and he joins the podcast today to talk about the growing challenge of managing observability data, and the design of Chronosphere.

Open Source Contributing with Brian Douglas
The open source coding philosophy has enormous appeal to many software engineers, and with good reason. Open source libraries, applications, and operating systems are now essential to the overall technology ecosystem. And the number of open source projects is only increasing. But many developers don't know how to get involved in open source. Or, they may have even faced resistance when trying to make a pull request to their favorite open source codebase.
Open Sauced is a platform to help developers get involved in open source development. While the number of GitHub stars on a project is often seen as a metric of success for a code base, Open Sauced focuses on the number of new contributors on a project. This number serves as a signal to help drive the platform's recommendation system, which pairs its users with open source projects in need of developers. Brian Douglas is a former Developer Experience Lead at Netlify and he was the Director of Developer Advocacy at GitHub. He is also th…

Temporal with Max Fateev
There are countless real world scenarios where a workflow or process has multiple steps, and some steps must be completed before others can be started. Think of something as simple as cooking dinner. First you look up a recipe, then you write down the ingredients you need, you go shopping, and then you cook. These steps must be run in a certain order, and the state of the workflow must be tracked throughout. Workflow management is everywhere in the software world, and today it's common for teams to engineer custom solutions. This makes sense, because creating a general-purpose solution for workflow management is a hard conceptual problem, and perhaps an even harder engineering challenge.
Maxim Fateev has a deep background engineering distributed systems and workflow management services at Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. In 2015, he joined Uber and helped create the open-source project, Cadence, which is an orchestration engine to execute asynchronous long-running business logic. The suc…

Speechlab and Realtime Translation with Ivan Galea
Speech technology has been around for a long time, but in the last 12 months it’s undergone a quantum leap. New speech synthesis models are able to produce speech that's often indistinguishable from real speech. I'm sure many listeners have heard deep fakes where computer speech perfectly mimics the voice of famous actors or public figures. A major factor in driving the ongoing advances is generative AI.
Speechlab is at the forefront of using new AI techniques for realtime dubbing, which is the process of converting speech from one language into another. For the interested listener, we recommend hearing the examples with President Obama speaking Spanish or Elon Musk speaking Japanese. Check out the show notes for a link to the video. Ivan Galea is the Co-founder and President at Speechlab and he joins the show to talk about how we're on the cusp of reaching the holy grail of speech technology - real time dubbing - and how this will erase barriers to communication and likely transform…

Sourcegraph with Quinn Slack
If you're a developer, there's a good chance you've experimented with coding assistants like GitHub Copilot. Many developers have even fully integrated these tools into their workflows. One way these tools accelerate development is by autocompleting entire blocks of code. The AI achieves this by having awareness of the surrounding code. It understands context. However, in many cases the context available to an AI is limited. This restricts the AI's ability to suggest more sweeping changes to a codebase, or even to refactor an entire application.
Quinn Slack is the CEO of Sourcegraph. He is now hard at work on the challenge of giving more context to AI - to make it aware of entire codebases, dependencies, error logs, and other data. Quinn joins the show today to talk about what it takes to move beyond code autocomplete, how to develop the next generation of coding AI, and what the future looks like for software engineers and programming languages.

Streamlit with Amanda Kelly
The importance of data teams is undeniable. Most companies today use data to drive decision-making on anything from software feature development to product strategy, hiring and marketing. In some companies data is the product, which can make data teams even more vital. But there's a common problem - analyzing data is hard and time consuming. Lots of people have questions they want to answer with data, but data teams often don't have the resources to move quickly. This can create a pernicious effect where organizations stop asking questions about their own data.
Amanda Kelly thinks a lot about data and the dynamics of data teams inside organizations. She's worked at Google X, and on self-driving cars and cybersecurity. Her experiences on data teams inspired her to co-found Streamlit, which is an open source Python library that gives primitives to assemble a data app for rapid data visualization and interaction. Her goal was to accelerate the iteration loop to go from a question to a d…

Modern Web Scraping with Erez Naveh
Today it’s estimated there are over 1 billion websites on the internet. Much of this content is optimized to be viewed by human eyes, not consumed by machines. However, creating systems to automatically parse and structure the web greatly extends its utility, and paves the way for innovative solutions and applications. The industry of web scraping has emerged to do just that. However, many websites erect obstacles to hinder web scraping. This has created a new kind of arms race between developers and anti-scraping software.
Bright Data has developed some of the most sophisticated consumer tools available to scrape public web data. Erez Naveh is an entrepreneur and former engineer at Meta. He is currently the VP of Product at Bright Data. Erez joins us in this episode to talk about Bright Data's mission to structure the open web, and the toolkit they've developed to make this possible.

Postman and the Growth of APIs with Joyce Lin
If you're a developer, you've probably worked with an API, or application programming interface. An API is a set of rules for how to communicate with an applications or device. For example, when you build an app and want to use Stripe to handle payments, or use Slack to deliver notifications, it's APIs that make this possible. Handling communication between different applications was historically challenging, but with the growth of cloud computing and the need for smooth interoperability, APIs have become standard, and are now often considered essential to make a company accessible and visible. The growth of APIs is about to accelerate even more because of generative AI. The reason is that good APIs will be needed so AIs can write code to stitch together multiple systems.

The Future of HTTP with Nick Shadrin and Roman Arutyunyan
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol, or HTTP, is used to load webpages using hypertext links, and it’s the foundation of the web. Tim Berners-Lee famously created HTTP version 0.9 in 1989, and defined the essential behavior of a client and a server. Version 1.0 was eventually finalized in 1996, and its secure variant called HTTPS is now used on more than 80% of websites. HTTP continues to undergo intense development and version 3 in now being actively adopted across the tech industry.
Nick Shadrin is a Software Architect at NGINX, and Roman Arutyunyan is a Principal Software Engineer at NGINX. Nick and Roman are experts in HTTP and they join the show today to tell the history of its evolution since 1989, and how NGINX is implementing support for HTTP/3.

Flightcontrol and Going Beyond Heroku with Brandon Bayer
A platform as a service, or PaaS, is the concept of a complete development and deployment environment in the cloud. One of the best examples is Heroku, which was created in 2007 and later acquired by Salesforce. Although these services are great for helping startups get off the ground quickly, they can ultimately become a form of technical debt because of issues with cost, control, scale, and reliability.
Today we're speaking with Brandon Bayer. Brandon is a licensed aircraft pilot, and he’s also the CEO of Flightcontrol, a platform as a service company that he co-founded. Flightcontrol is built on top of AWS, and allows users to deploy it on their own AWS infrastructure. In this episode, Brandon talks about how his team engineered Flightcontrol, and how it was designed for small and large teams, with scalability and maintainability in mind.

Edge Databases with Glauber Costa
Picture a user interacting with a web app on their phone. When they tap the screen the app triggers communication with a server, which in turn communicates with a database. This process then happens in reverse to eventually update what the user sees on-screen. The latency for this round trip depends a lot on the physical distance between the user and the server. In a traditional web app, latency can be especially poor when the user and the server are separated by an ocean, and they must communicate through an underwater trans-oceanic link. However, with edge computing, multiple servers and data centers create a distributed system that greatly improves response times.
Turso is an edge-hosted, distributed database based on libSQL, an open-source and open-contribution fork of SQLite. It was designed to minimize query latency for applications where queries come from anywhere in the world. Glauber Costa is the Founder and CEO of Turso and he joins us in this episode.

The state of Data inside most companies is chaotic. It takes significant time and investment to tame this chaos. When you are a platform provider you are gathering tons of data from the developers using your platform. These developers building products on your platform need insight into that data to better understand how their application is performing or to troubleshoot it. Most Platforms or SaaS application providers find it both difficult and expensive to build customer-facing analytics and data applications into their platforms. In fact most companies don’t know what to do with the data they are gathering and continually postpone future product roadmap features aimed to unlock this data. This data can be a crucial part of the developer experience and can empower your customers. It can save you countless hours of handling support tickets, and increase overall stickiness on the platform.

Bug Reporting is Broken and how Jam is Fixing that with Dani Grant & Mohd Irtefa
Bug reporting hasn't changed since the 1990's. Despite all the technological advancements we've made in the rest of software development, the way we handle bugs has stayed the same.
It is common practice for non technical teams to provide bug reports that are missing vital information for developers to identify and quickly fix code, such as: network requests, console logs, HAR file, device information, video or screenshot replication, and more.
Providing a comprehensive bug report requires logging into many tools and time spent context switching, creating an environment where people are less likely to report bugs, which is not an ideal scenario for any founder or builder.
Dani & Irtefa, co-founders at Jam.dev set out to build a tool that will enable anyone, no matter their technical background, to capture rich contextual technical data about bugs, so that developers can quickly identify and resolve issues.

Improved Java Performance Sans Code Changes with Simon Ritter
What are the reasons why we need to improve performance? The JVM is a powerful piece of software – this is the reason why Java has maintained its popularity over the past 26+ years. But… there are some ways that the JVM works that can impact the performance of your applications.
One of the biggest challenges is latency – how quickly can we respond to a request from a user to access your application. That comes down to garbage collection – which leads to pauses and a bad customer experience. Garbage collection pauses can vary. But they impact application performance. The bigger the heap, the longer your pauses...but how do you optimize? What about warm-up time? That’s also a big challenge. We’ve addressed these problems without re-writing code from scratch – and that leads to better Java performance without any code changes.
This episode explores how you can use a performance JVM to make applications start fast, go fast, and stay fast.

It is useful for various reasons, including testing, isolation, development, and cost reduction. By using API mocking, developers can test their code without relying on the availability of the real API, isolate the code being tested from the behavior of the API, work on their code even when the API is not yet available, and reduce the number of requests they make to the real API, thus saving money.
WireMock is a flexible tool for building mock APIs and can operate as either a standalone server or as a managed service through WireMock Cloud.

Istio Ambient Mesh with Brian Gracely
Let's say you have a set of microservices running on a Kubernetes cluster. In the past, developers used to program features like service discovery, observability, who's allowed to talk to whom and other security related features directly into the application code.
This slowed down the dev cycle and it made these microservices bigger and just generally made everything less flexible.
The service mesh is a tool responsible for handling service-to-service communication. You keep your application small and business focused and instead you dynamically program the intelligence into the network.
The Istio ambient mesh is an alternative to the standard Istio architecture, it allows you to not have to run sidecars per application.

Permit Elements and Fullstack Authorization with Or Weis
Permissions are Hard! And they are becoming harder as we move more into the Cloud-native ecosystem. If we go back in time to the point where it was just a single monolith that you were building on your own. You'll probably have a framework to manage the permissions for you. But when you are working with distributed microservices, especially if you are a polyglot, you can't use those solutions anymore. So you end up having to sprinkle a bit of access control into every little microservice and component that you build. In addition, with the scale of modern applications, it's no longer just your services, there are a lot of third-party services that you have to connect to. Think about things like authentication, billing, analytics and other stuff that you combine from eternal services into what you are building.
Permit.io empowers developers to bake in permissions and access control into any product in minutes and takes away the pain of constantly rebuilding them. Or Weis is the co-founde…

Cloud Native Compiler with John Ceccarelli
Java is a write once run anywhere programming language. The way you do that is you use the javac compiler and compile the source files down to the class files. Those class files can run on any system in interpreted mode. But those class files that are run in interpreted mode, they are not machine code specific. To get that code to run fast you need to turn that into optimized machine code and that’s what the JIT compiler does. The open JDK contains its JIT compiler called Hotspot.
Azul is a company that specializes in Java for the enterprise. It has the largest Java engineering team after Oracle. John Ceccarelli is the Senior Director of Product Management at Azul Systems responsible for Azul Platform Prime which is their hyper optimized build of OpenJDK. In this episode we explore the fundamentals of compilers. We also discuss Azul's Cloud Native Compiler, the programs that are suitable for the Cloud Native Compiler and the Deployment model of CNC.

MLOps Systems at Scale with Krishna Gade
Although we like to think about ML workflows as straight line narratives from experiment to training to production, and then monitoring, the reality for large companies is that all the steps are happening at one time in concert with other models, with shifting data and sometimes misaligned key feature inputs.
Moreover regulated firms are required to track all the models, the changes, and the impacts of those changes For compliance. Enter explainability supported by model monitoring, far from sleepy monitoring of changes and anomalies. Today's ML monitoring and performance management requires the ability to identify changes and alert the right people, the ability to assist in diagnosing issues, to create what if scenarios, and the ability to pop models back into production in real time with proper governance.

API Testing in Kubernetes with Matthew LeRay
As applications grow in size and complexity, and as they increasingly move to microservice architectures, it becomes harder for individual developers to perform end-to-end tests of an entire application stack. Connecting development services to production services is off limits. Test environments are limited to automated tests.
Staging environments are woefully inadequate with the amount of data available for their use. Testing large and complex applications is becoming harder and harder. Speedscale provides developers a solution to this problem. Speedscale assists in developing and testing applications by recreating real world traffic loads in test and development environments, essentially bringing the data quality of production into the exploratory world of development. Matthew LeRay is the CTO and co-founder of Speedscale, and he's our guest today.

The Enterprise Data Catalog with Ole Olesen-Bagneux
We do it every day. We search on the internet for some information. Many ask, why is that easy? And yet doing the same thing at my company is hard sometimes, not even possible. And when you do get the data, it's unclear where it's from or the degree you can trust it or use it. In a highly regulated firm, there's even more pressure to select the best approved version of the information.
Enter the data catalog. Enterprise Data Catalogs are essential for searching for data in an organization. Moreover, their creation, maintenance, and design tap into the most fundamental theories of the philosophy of language and the nature of creating knowledge. Today we are interviewing architect and author.

Modernizing the Monolith with Moti Rafalin and Amir Rapson
Java Applications became the go-to preference of most developers because of the write-once-run-anywhere advantage it gave over other languages. And it didn't take much time for Java to become the language for the enterprise. Consequently, most enterprises are still running legacy Java Monoliths on their infrastructure.
Breaking up a monolith is not an easy process–nor is it something that every company should do just because they have a monolith. In some cases, a monolith is just fine. But sometimes, you do need to decompose a monolith as the complexity of the monolith grows and leads to longer release cycles or scalability issues. Breaking down into microservices is a natural way to shift legacy applications to the cloud.
vFunction is an artificial intelligence platform that assesses, analyzes, helps you design microservices and then automatically creates those microservices for you. So it's an end-to-end platform from analysis to the actual creation of the code of those microservic…

Collaborative Notebooks for DevOps and SRE with Micha Hernandez
The complexity of the software infrastructure has been increasing as companies have migrated towards kubernetes, containers, microservices and other distributed systems. However the tools around observability and monitoring have not seen much improvement. These tools are usually managed by teams distributed across different locations and time zones, which results in siloing of knowledge of your infrastructure across individuals.
Reasoning about downtime involves bringing together all the pieces. While the teams can communicate through slack, screenshots and google docs, this has been still far from the kind of collaboration tools that other teams have enjoyed for example Figma is used by Design teams and Notion is used by product teams.

Automatic Database Tuning with Andy Pavlo
The default configuration in most databases is meant for broad compatibility rather than performance. Database tuning is a process in which the configurations of a database are modified to achieve optimal performance. Databases have hundreds of configuration knobs that control various factors, such as the amount of memory to use for caches or how often the data is written to the storage.
The problem with these knobs is that
they are not standardized (i.e., two databases may have a different name for the same knob),
not independent (i.e., changing one knob can impact others),
and not universal (i.e., what works for one application may be suboptimal for another).
In reality, information about the effects of the knobs typically comes only from (expensive) experience.
OtterTune is automatic database tuning software that promises to overcome these problems. It uses machine learning to tune the configuration knobs of your database automatically to improve performance.

Serverless Clickhouse for Developers with Jorge Sancha
Data analytics technology and tools have seen significant improvements in the past decade. But, it can still take weeks to prototype, build and deploy new transformations and deployments, usually requiring considerable engineering resources. Plus, most data isn't real-time. Instead, most of it is still batch-processed.
Tinybird Analytics provides an easy way to ingest and query large amounts of data in real-time, as well as to automatically create an API to consume those queries. This makes it easy to build fast and scalable applications that query your data; no backend needed!
In this episode, we interview Jorge Sancha, Founder and CEO of Tinybird.

Developer-first Observability with Liran Haimovitch
As software engineering teams start to build products that become more and more mature. It becomes necessary to be able to debug complex issues with tooling that enables understanding of the full scenario. This can come from application scenarios where APIs are running multiple versions, where users are using your app from multiple devices, device types, OS versions, browser versions, things like that.
You may also run into issues with network connectivity or a functionality that is intermittent based on sort of use cases and user interactions. And for this sort of scenario, we've come to start to use a class of tools for debugging called observability tools, observability tools, help developers to understand the full scenario of an application by digging into the data that is being used and recorded and can help to pipe data across various , solutions that are used within enterprises to read and discover what's going on from analytics.

Data Infrastructure for Finance
Data is becoming a bank’s biggest asset. These complex enterprises have a huge opportunity ahead - to transform themselves to become a trusted hub of a much broader data ecosystem that goes beyond the financial industry and helps to form a new class of cross-industry experience architectures that are scalable and transparent. The data physics that is needed for such emerging systems runs on consent and privacy preservation rather than black-boxed data lakes. A foundation for making this happen lies in the ability to use distributed, heterogenous data effectively and transform it into experiences that are relevant to the customer. These new experience architectures are following design patterns that are more participatory and consent-based than blindly personalized.
In this episode, we deep dive into the context-aware Flybits platform with founder & CEO, Hossein Rahnama, alongside their CTO, Petar Kramaric, and VP of Engineering, Justin Lam.

Cloud-native Authorization with Tim Hinrichs
Enabling authorization policies across disparate cloud-native environments such as containers, microservices and modern application delivery infrastructure is complex and can be a roadblock for software engineering teams.
Open Policy Agent, or OPA, is an open, declarative, policy-as-code approach to authorization that reduces security and compliance burden for engineering teams. Business context is translated into declarative policy statements. These policy statements are compiled into code and deployed as agents that can be injected into any process, such as an API gateway, Kubernetes provisioning service, public cloud access controls, or continuous delivery automation service.
Styra created and contributed OPA to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation where it is a graduated project with over 130M downloads to date and is used by large companies. Styra's enterprise commercial offering, Declarative Authorization Service (DAS), is specifically designed for OPA and includes the ability…

Kubernetes Troubleshooting with Itiel Shwartz and Lee Atchison
Cloud native applications utilizing microservice architectures has grown into one of the most popular application architectural patterns in recent years. The value of leveraging dynamic cloud resources, along with the flexibility and scalability of microservice architectures, creates a strong paradigm that's hard to miss. The strong adoption of Kubernetes has strengthened the pattern enormously. The unique structure and requirements of Kubernetes has led to an increased need for Kubernetes specific monitoring and diagnostics tools. There has been a large number of companies who have jumped at this opportunity. One of those companies is Komodor, a Kubernetes diagnostics platform that focuses on Kubernetes troubleshooting for the entire Kubernetes stack. Itiel Shwartz is the co-founder and CTO of Komodor, and he joins us today.

Permissions and Access-control with Or Weis
Permissions are Hard! And they are becoming harder as we move more into the Cloud-native ecosystem. If we go back in time to the point where it was just a single monolith that you were building on your own. You'll probably have a framework to manage the permissions for you. But when you are working with distributed microservices, especially if you are a polyglot, you can't use those solutions anymore. So you end up having to sprinkle a bit of access control into every little microservice and component that you build. In addition, with the scale of modern applications, it's no longer just your services, there are a lot of third-party services that you have to connect to. Think about things like authentication, billing, analytics and other stuff that you combine from eternal services into what you are building.
Permit.io empowers developers to bake in permissions and access control into any product in minutes and takes away the pain of constantly rebuilding them. Or Weis is the co-founde…

Faking Data Using Tonic.ai with Ian Coe and Adam Kamor
Companies that gather data about their users have an ethical obligation and legal responsibility to protect the personally identifiable information in their dataset. Ideally, developers working on a software application wouldn’t need access to production data. Yet without high-quality example data, many technology groups stumble on avoidable problems. Organizations need a solution to protect privacy while simultaneously preserving aspects of the data which are important.
Tonic is automating data synthesis to advance data privacy. Their solution gives your production-like data for development and analytical purposes without compromising on data quality or privacy. In this episode, We interview Tonic’s CEO Ian Coe, and Head of Engineering Adam Kamor.

Continuous Profiling using eBPF with Frederic Branczyk
Profiling has been a part of the software engineering toolbox since the 1970s, but it was long regarded to be too high in overhead, so it was only done ad hoc. The problem with profiling that way is that you never catch the moment in time where for example an incident happened. Continuous profiling is the systematic capturing of profiling at all times, Google has been doing it for over a decade, but it comes both with challenges of how to capture the data at low overhead and also storing and querying the enormous amount of data that continuous profiling brings with it. Polar Signals created the open-source project Parca to bring continuous profiling to the masses. Frederic Braczyk, Founder and CEO of Polar Signals joins the show to discuss the uses of continuous profiling as well as the challenges in building everything from the low overhead profilers using eBPF to purpose-built storage engines for the high volume data it entails.

Earthly Builds with Adam Gordon Bell
Build automation tools automate the process of building code, including steps such as compiling, packaging binary code, and running automated tests. Because of this, build automation tools are considered a key part of a continuous delivery pipeline. Build automation tools read build scripts to define how they should perform a build. Common build scripts include Makefile, Dockerfile, and bash.
Earthly is a build automation tool that allows you to execute all your builds in containers. Earthly uses Earthfiles, which draws from the best features of Makefile and Dockerfile and provides a common layer between language-specific tooling and the CI build spec. Earthly builds are repeatable, isolated, and self-contained, and will run the same way across different environments such as a CI system or a developer’s laptop.
In this episode we spoke with Adam Gordon Bell who works in developer relations at Earthly. Adam is also the host of the CoRecursive podcast

Gitcoin Ecosystem with Gloria Kimbwala
Most technology companies rely on open source software projects. But open source software projects are often maintained by a group of people that is not affiliated with any particular company. When an open source project develops too much technical debt, it can become a tragedy of the commons. Who is responsible for maintaining these open source projects?
This is the motivation for open source bounties. Companies and individuals who rely on open source create bounties, which are financial incentives for developers to solve problems within the open source project.
Gitcoin is a platform for open source bounties that is mediated by an Ethereum smart contract.

However, stream processing - the act of filtering, transforming, or analyzing the data inside the messages - is still an exercise left to the receiving microservice or datastore, a custom programming exercise likely repeated over and over within an application. Stream processing tools such as Apache Flink and ksqlDB have been around for half a decade, but their complexity has hindered adoption. Decodable’s mission is to radically simplify processing on the stream with a SaaS platform based on Flink, and using only SQL which frees up developers to focus on what matters most.

CloudGraph with Tyson Kunovsky
The advent of the cloud introduced a new form of technical debt in which organizations can lose track of what infrastructure they have and how it relates to the business. While the cloud's native APIs offer some transparency into your infrastructure, these offerings are often described as necessary but not sufficient. When companies have a non-trivial question about their environments, getting answers can have a big cognitive overhead to get a clear answer.
In this episode, I interview Tyson Kunovsky, Co-Founder and CEO at AutoCloud, creators of the open source project Cloud Graph. CloudGraph is a free and open source GraphQL API for AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes. CloudGraph provides a much more intuitive graphQL based interface to ask questions about your infrastructure in context of the relationships between components.

Technical Debt With Lee Atchison
Lee Atchison spent seven years at Amazon working in retail, software distribution and Amazon Web Services. He then moved to New Relic, where he spent eight years scaling the company's internal architecture. Lee has deep expertise in building and managing fast growing web applications, and he used this knowledge to write architecting for scale from O'Reilly.
Technical debt is a common problem for engineering teams. Technical debt is additional long-term work required to evolve or maintain an application due to a short-term decision in designing or building that application. Too much technical debt can reduce product innovation and lead to lower employee retention. In this episode, we'll discuss all things technical debt based on Lee’s recent article, Technical Debt Will Sink You.

Time Series IoT on InfluxDB with Brian Gilmore
The solution many turn to for capturing their streaming data is InfluxDB. In this episode, I interview Brian Gilmore, director of product management at Influx Data, about how real time applications achieve success built on top of InfluxDB.
When most people hear the phrase Internet of Things, it typically evokes an image of connected devices we install in our homes. While this is a common use case, the true winner to date in IoT is probably industrial automation. While small improvements can yield big returns, and small errors can result in huge losses, it's critical to capture and elegantly handle telemetry data from industrial systems.

RudderStack Engineering with Soumaydeb Mitra
Customer data pipelines power the backend of many successful web platforms. In a customer data pipeline, data is collected from sources such as mobile apps and cloud SaaS tools, transformed and munged using data engineering, stored in data warehouses, and piped to analytics, advertising platforms, and data infrastructure.
RudderStack is an open source customer data pipeline system that pulls together this disparate functionality. In a previous episode, we covered the basics of RudderStack. In today’s show, we dive deeper into the engineering of RudderStack with returning guest CEO Soumyadeb Mitra.

Apache Hudi with Vinoth Chandar
The data lake architecture has become broadly adopted in a relatively short period of time. In a nutshell, that means data in it’s raw format stored in cloud object storage. Modern software and data engineers have no shortage of options for accessing their data lake, but that list shrinks quickly if you care about features like transactions. Apache Hudi is a platform for building streaming data lakes that is optimized for lake engines and batch processing. In this episode, I interview Vinoth Chandar, creator of the Hudi Project and Founder and CEO at Onehouse.

The Staging Dichotomy with Senthil Padmanabhan
Serious software projects require several environments. Your production environment is obviously mission critical. A staging environment is also necessary to perform validation and regression testing before taking the risk of pushing an update to production. Best practices and approaches for managing these and other environments vary from organization to organization. In some sense, different software systems should be expected to have unique needs. Yet certain commonalities and wisdom can be gained from observing high scale success stories.
In this episode, I interview Senthil Padmanabhan about how eBay turned around an impeding staging environment into its biggest asset for developer productivity.

Hex Collaborative Data Workspace with Barry McCardel and Caitlin Colgrove
In contrast to other IDEs, the notebook interface offers software developers a unique environment idealized for data professionals. Despite the growth in popularity, a surprising learning curve still exists for setup and configuration. A siloed notebook offers no native collaboration tools. While one can connect to a SQL database programmatically, if you’re looking for an ideal ergonomic environment for some heavy duty SQL queries, many developers seek an external tool for that job.
In this episode, Kyle interviews Barry McCardel and Caitlin Colgrove from Hex. Hex is a collaborative data workspace that makes it easy to go from idea to analysis to sharing. We talk about Hex’s offering and the evolving space of notebook solutions for going beyond some of the issues noted above.

Data Quality Using Anomalo with Jeremy Stanley
When writing code, test driven development is a common accepted methodology to ensure the development of high quality software. Your organization’s data, on the other hand, is an entirely different challenge. Data can be missing due to human error, a failure with a 3rd party provider, a botched release, or dozens of other issues. When not missing, data can still become corrupted or start exhibiting a trend in the wrong direction that isn’t obvious to notice.
Anomalo is a complete data quality platform. It can monitor your enterprise data and alert you to problems that are automatically detected. In this episode, I interview Jeremy Stanley about the ways in which teams are using the platform to monitor and improve their data quality.

Micro-Frontends with Luca Mezzalira
When you visit a web page, the creator’s intent is to present you a seamless experience that fills your browser window. That web page or web application is generally divided up in some meaningful way across navigation elements, content, ads, header, footer, and other components.
Those components may represent the work of independent teams. Typically a web app is built in a single code base, pulling all those components into a monolithic software application. For backend software development, these monoliths are often split up in a refactoring towards microservice architecture. In this episode, I interview Luca Mezzalira, author of Building Micro-Frontends.

Privacy Engineering with Alex Watson
Protecting your customers begins with best practices for securely capturing, storing, and protecting the data you collect for or about them. When an organization has a large enough dataset, needs typically arise for doing analytical workloads or training machine learning models on this data. If you use random or mock data to generate a report or train a model, you arrive at an output that doesn’t reflect the true use case of the organization. Success on tasks like this seems to require production data.
Alternatively, perhaps production-like data is good enough. In this episode, I interview Alex Watson, co-founder and chief product officer at gretel. We discuss their solution for privacy preserving synthetic data that remains representative of the underlying dataset.

Flowdash with Nick Gervasi
When businesses share a common need such as payroll, commercial offerings can compete for market share with software solutions that easily adapt to a variety of businesses. Not all tasks can be easily commoditized or standardized. Take content moderation as an example. Every site that accepts user generated content is likely to have unique and nuanced processes that match their internal definitions of allowable content and procedures for what to do with non-allowable content.
Many organizations create custom software solutions for their unique tasks. When they’re central to the core mission, that’s the right choice. When they’re not, such projects are often a distraction for an engineering team that is already stretched too thin. That’s where solutions like Flowdash come in. Flowdash is a low code / no code offering that enables businesses to rapidly develop custom solutions for tasks such as content moderation and others.

Uber State Machine with Uday Kiran Medisetty
If you're working on a proof of concept which you hope will help you raise funding, it's fine to take a few shortcuts. Use the tech stack you know the best, don't fall in love with your code, and when you start to experience growing pains, hopefully you'll have the time to thoughtfully and carefully identify the bottlenecks and limits of your tech stack applied to the specific industry problem you are solving. Another great strategy is to simply copy the tech stack of a larger company with the confidence that what works for a bigger company will likely work for you.
But if you're a company like Uber, there's no larger company to copy. Worse still in comparison to most businesses, even a few minutes of downtime is pretty damaging for Uber. To successfully deliver a solution like theirs, one must identify bottlenecks and growing pains in advance, find solutions, and deliver the plan in a way that's invisible to customers.

Build Tools with Benjy Weinberger
Writing software is an absolute joy. Getting software to build is a chore. Thus, build systems emerged as a solution to automate this chore.

While perhaps being the historically known tool, a great deal of thought has gone into approaches to build systems since 1976 when make was introduced.
In today’s episode, we focus on a build system called Pants. Pants is a scalable, software build system. It can help you support all the modern challenges of a build system such as dependency resolution, testing, linting, and packaging.
