DOP 255: What Is Developer Observability?
20 maart 2024 · 49 min
#255: In an era where software development and operations are increasingly converging, the need for effective and efficient observability tools has never been more critical. As systems grow in complexity and the lines between development and operations blur, the role of observability in understanding and managing these systems becomes more prominent. Lees meer

#247: What do you think of when I say "Developer Relations"? Is it a person that flys from conference to conference giving talks? Is it someone that is chasing you down to scan your badge in a booth? What if the answer to both of those questions is both yes and no? Lees meer
In this episode, we speak with Lian Li about the realities of developer relations and how developer relations isn't just something you buy off the shelf.

DOP 245: Building Your Best Team Ever
10 januari 2024 · 48 min
#245: Imagine this. You think you've been hired into a team of all A players. Think Wayne Gretsky, Michael Jordan, Lionel Messi, etc. Instead, what's really happened is you've been assigned to the team that is nothing more than the people that played behind the people that played behind the A players. Yeah, you've been demoted to the third string team. Lees meer
You think, ok, at least I made a team and I'm not bagging groceries (is that still a thing?) down at the local market. Now that you're on a team, how do you plug in and help make the team better?
In this episode, we speak with Dr. David Burkus about his latest book "Best Team Ever". We go into the 3 key areas that both the manager and the players need to understand in order to actually create a team that might even be able to beat a team of A players.

DOP 241: From Restaurant Server to KubeCon Keynote in Under 4 Years

#241: On today's episode, we go in depth with one of our friends, Whitney Lee. You may know her from her Enlightening series on Tanzu.TV or maybe from the You Choose videos she does with Viktor. Lees meer
But did you know just over 4 years ago, she was a server in a vegetarian restaurant and since that time she's spoken five times at KubeCon conferences - 2 of which were keynotes?
What'll you'll learn is that just because you don't have a CS degree doesn't mean that you can't do great things in tech.

#240: Imagine being handed a nicely-wrapped box containing Platform Engineering, much like when we were sold DevOps in a Box. An enigmatic gift, with potential benefits yet accompanied by potential complexities. It calls to question - how is this different from the countless developer platforms we've seen companies launch over the years? Lees meer

DOP 238: Unlocking the Potential of Modern Architectures Using Service Mesh
22 november 2023 · 49 min
#238: You might just now be reaching the point of containerizing your workloads and running them in Kubernetes. However, how do you go about accessing those workloads? You might have started with an ingress, because other options seemed like they were too complex. Lees meer
However, you've now crossed the point where you need that complexity.
That's where service mesh can help you out. On this episode, we speak with Marino Wijay, Principal Developer Advocate at solo.io, about how service mesh has evolved over time, the challenges of adopting certain models, and the advantages of open-source solutions. We also talk about the differences between sidecar and sidecar-less models, and the circumstances in which either might be appropriate.

#236: As you are heading into budget season for 2025, you're probably trying to figure out how to eliminate as much wasteful cloud spend as you can. But how did you get here? Instead of trying to reduce your cloud spend, maybe you should think about not spending the money in the first place. Lees meer

DOP 235: Diving Into Platform Engineering Trends With Humanitec
1 november 2023 · 45 min
#235: In the mid-2000s, Werner Vogels introduced the idea of "you build it, you run it". This concept suggested that the same team responsible for building a product should also be responsible for running and maintaining it. However, despite the initial enthusiasm, we have yet to see this phrase truly materialize in practice. The industry has faced challenges in fully realizing the "build it, run it" philosophy. Lees meer
In this episode, we speak with Kaspar von Grünberg, founder & CEO at Humanitec, about why "shifting left" to the developers really isn't all it's cracked up to be and how instead cleaner abstractions can bridge the gap in understanding between non-technical managers and the developers in the trenches.

DOP 234: Better Bare Metal Infrastructure Management With RackN
25 oktober 2023 · 50 min
#234: The shift to cloud computing has greatly increased the popularity of infrastructure as code. Lees meer
But think about it. Cloud is nothing more than an abstraction on top of bare metal servers. Why can't we just as easily manage our bare metal servers as code as well?
In this episode, we speak with Rob Hirschfeld, founder and CEO at RackN, about the challenges and opportunities of managing bare metal servers as code.

DOP 231: Automating API Development With Hasura
4 oktober 2023 · 39 min
#231: We never thought that exposing our databases to the public internet was a good thing. However, when we started creating middleware API services that sat in front of those databases, we probably ended up doing almost the exact same type work that we did when we created the database schemas themselves. Somehow or another, we thought this was good, but in reality, it was not the right solution. Lees meer
In this episode, we speak with Tanmai Gopal, CEO and co-founder at Hasura, about how modern web APIs are developed and the role of modern databases in making development more efficient and scalable.

DOP 230: Simplifying End-to-End Encryption With Smallstep
27 september 2023 · 43 min
#230: In today's digital age, it's no secret that relying solely on passwords for security is no longer an effective solution. We all understand the risks associated with using just passwords, but the question remains: what other alternatives do we have at our disposal? Lees meer
What if you could eliminate passwords all together and still make all your communications completely secure?
In this episode, we speak with Mike Malone, Founder and CEO at Smallstep, about his background with OpenID and OAuth and how increasing security today doesn't mean also increasing budgets.

DOP 229: The Evolution of Installing Applications into Kubernetes
20 september 2023 · 47 min
#229: When Kubernetes was first released in September 2014, the only way we could get applications installed to the cluster was by using kubectl apply and big, ugly YAML files. Since that time, many tools have been introduced to help manage application installation into Kubernetes clusters. Lees meer
However, no matter what tool you are using in 2023, under the hood, we're still just submitting those big, ugly YAML files to the Kubernetes. Once you realize this, things become much clearer.
In this episode, we take a stroll down memory lane of how it all started and what you should consider doing today when creating (or maybe not creating) the YAML files for your application.

DOP 228: The Customer Is the True North Star
13 september 2023 · 50 min
#228: The Agile Manifesto is now more than 20 years old. However, even after all this time, instead of helping organizations create and deliver software faster to satisfy customer needs, many times Agile principles are turned into rigid processes that stifle innovation and limit customer satisfaction.

DOP 227: Layoff-Proofing Your Career
6 september 2023 · 50 min
#227: Imagine this. You walk into your office and your manager pulls you to the side and says "Pack up your belongings. You've been made redundant. We wish you the best in your future endeavors." Lees meer
Just like that, you no longer have a job.
In even more extreme cases, just because a company exists today does not mean that it will exist tomorrow. Think about Enron, Blockbuster, Compaq and many others.
At this point in history, it's not if, but when, will you be laid off and what will you do?
In this episode, we speak with Dagna Bieda, founder of theMindfulDev.com, about strategies to "layoff-proof" your engineering career, touching on topics like the role of AI in the industry, the importance of mental health, and the impact of our belief systems on our careers.
