Is Cloud Native just a synonym for Kubernetes? How to make sense of the sea of tools & frameworks that pop up daily? What can we learn from others that made the transformation and most of all: Where do we start?We got answer to all these and many more questions from Priyanka Sharma (@pritianka) – Dir. of Alliances at GitLab and Governing Board Member at CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation). In her work, Priyanka has seen everything from small startups to large enterprises leveraging Cloud Native technology, tools and mindset to build, deploy & run better software faster. She advises to start incrementally and whatever you do in your transformation make sure to always focus on: Visibility (which leads to transparency), Easy of Collaboration (which increases productivity & creativity) and Setting Guardrails (this ensures you stay compliant & avoids common pitfalls).We ended the conversation around the idea of needing “Cloud Native Aware Developers” which can follow best practices or standards such as those promoted by CNCF or OpenSource projects such as keptn.shhttps://twitter.com/pritiankahttps://www.cncf.io/https://keptn.sh/

The .NET Runtime – whether .NET Framework or .NET Core – provides many ways to optimize memory management. But they don’t come in the form of configuration switches as we know if from Java. While there are a handful of settings, the .NET Runtime favors a different approach: asking developers to write memory aware software that follows a couple of core memory aware principles and best practices.In this podcast we get to talk with Konrad Kokosa (@konradkokosa) – author of Pro .NET Memory Management. In his book he gives developers and operators great tips on how to optimize your .net applications and environments such as #1: start with proper monitoring; #2: reduce memory allocations; #3: well – for this and more you should check out Konrad’s book.Listen in to a great discussion with somebody that has been working very close with the .NET Engineering Teams over the past years and brings the internal secrets of .NET Memory Management to everyone out there that wants to write Memory Aware .NET Software!https://prodotnetmemory.com/https://twitter.com/konradkokosa

Creating and maintaining test scenarios not only takes a lot of time, but means we are creating artificial test scenarios based on what we think users are going to do versus replicating real users behavior. In this episode we invited Thomas Rotté, one of our friends from https://probit.cloud, who solved these problems for their work at KBC Bank. Their solution is an AI that learns behavior of real user traffic, creates a probability model for most common user journeys and uses that model to create automation test scripts on the fly for automated, real user simulating test bots. We also learn how GDPR and other challenges influenced their solution and how they are now working with other tool vendors and enterprises to bring this technology to the market.

How to you scale a startup, a mid size company or an enterprise software organization? Can we learn from the Spartans or the Romans? And how can we explain DevOps to a Dummy?In this fun filled episode with Emily Freeman (@editingemily), Cloud Developer Advocate at Microsoft, we get answers to all these questions and get inspired to join Emily’s appearance at the upcoming devone.at conference in Linz, Austria where she dives deeper into how to successfully scale development organizations from startup to enterprise. Later in 2019 make sure to watch out for the written version of our discussion on DevOps for Dummies – Emily is using her writing skills to bring it to paper!https://emilyfreeman.io/
