DevOps Paradox

#205: At the end of 2022, Werner Vogels, CTO at Amazon, published a blog post about the tech predictions for 2023 and (more importantly) beyond. In this episode, Darin and Viktor dig into a couple of those predictions, namely simulated worlds (digital twins) and custom silicon.   Tech predictions for 2023 and beyond https://www.allthingsdistributed.com/2022/12/tech-predictions-for-2023-and-beyond.html   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox/   Books and Courses: Catalog, Patterns, And Blueprints https://www.devopstoolkitseries.com/posts/catalog/   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/

#204: When you think about managing data in an organization, you’re probably familiar with the concept of ETL: extract, transform and load. But in this world of new data tools, the order of transform and load can become problematic.  In today’s episode, we speak with Itamar Ben Hemo, Co-Founder and CEO at Rivery, about why you might want to consider flipping that order. We also discuss why if you aren’t using SaaS solutions for data management, you’re probably quickly falling behind your competitors.   Itamar’s contact information: Twitter: https://twitter.com/Itamar_Hemo LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/itamar-ben-hemo-47080a5/   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox/   Books and Courses: Catalog, Patterns, And Blueprints https://www.devopstoolkitseries.com/posts/catalog/   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/

203: Given a choice, would you rather have broken builds or flaky tests? At least with a broken build, you have certainty of what is happening. How do you go about eliminating both from your environment? In this episode, we speak with Ankit Jain, CEO at Aviator, about different ways you can approach these two issues. We also dive head first into the debate about whether you should be using a monorepo in your organization.   Ankit’s contact information: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ankitjaindce/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ankitxg   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox/   Books and Courses: Catalog, Patterns, And Blueprints https://www.devopstoolkitseries.com/posts/catalog/   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/

#202: How many people love Helm? Yeah, that’s what we thought. A lot of the time, you’re probably looking for an easier and simpler way to manage installing applications into a Kubernetes cluster.   You might be wishing that you could use something as simple as Docker Compose to do that, but you can’t see a way forward.   In this episode, we speak with Benjie De Groot, Co-Founder at Shipyard, about how approaching development from the human side instead of the machine side can make this possible.   Benjie’s contact information: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bueller/ GitHub: https://github.com/bueller   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox/   Books and Courses: Catalog, Patterns, And Blueprints https://www.devopstoolkitseries.com/posts/catalog/   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/

#201: As an application developer, we’re used to adding logging to our applications. We also work with our operations counterparts to enrich those logs to help them out when troubleshooting. But what happens during an incident when the logs are flowing so fast that neither you nor the operations people can keep up? That’s where machine learning can help.   In this episode, we speak with Ajay Singh, CEO at Zebrium, about why humans need help troubleshooting issues and how machine learning helps detect outliers and solve those last mile problems.   Ajay’s contact information: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ajaysingh3/   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox/   Books and Courses: Catalog, Patterns, And Blueprints https://www.devopstoolkitseries.com/posts/catalog/   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/

#200: We’ve reached episode 200!!! As we do with all our divide by 50 episodes, we invited our friend Patrick Debois back to discuss topics ranging from digital twins to the metaverse to AI to becoming a manager.   Patrick’s contact information: Twitter: https://twitter.com/patrickdebois LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/patrickdebois/   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox/   Books and Courses: Catalog, Patterns, And Blueprints https://www.devopstoolkitseries.com/posts/catalog/   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/

#199: You’re probably used to hearing about using OpenTelemetry for your production troubleshooting. But have you considered using OpenTelemetry during your development lifecycle?   In this episode, we speak with Ran Nozik, CTO and co-founder of Helios, about the current state of OpenTelemetry and how using OpenTelemetry may save us a lot of time troubleshooting issues in production if we first start using while we are developing our applications.   Ran’s contact information: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ran-nozik/   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox/   Books and Courses: Catalog, Patterns, And Blueprints https://www.devopstoolkitseries.com/posts/catalog/   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/

#198: It’s the dream that many of us have. We set out to build a service that gains a lot of adoption. However, we when reach that goal, we find that building something successful can make it an attractive target for attackers.   In this episode, we speak with Brian Smith, CTO of Spyderbat, about how traditional security tools don't meet the dynamic requirements of Kubernetes and that the processes we put in place to manage our runtime security need to be part of a shift-left approach.   Brian’s contact information: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-smith-07a4191/   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox/   Books and Courses: Catalog, Patterns, And Blueprints https://www.devopstoolkitseries.com/posts/catalog/   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/

#197: Do you feel like you are working in a company that is not only behind the times but behind the century? If you feel stuck, is it because you’re too scared to search for another job and losing all the benefits you’ve accrued over the years at your current company?   In this episode, we talk about a couple of Reddit and Twitter threads that surprised us, but in reality, they shouldn’t have. It’s a very sobering reminder that not everyone is not only working on the latest and greatest, some are just now moving to technology that has already reached end of life.   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox/   Books and Courses: Catalog, Patterns, And Blueprints https://www.devopstoolkitseries.com/posts/catalog/   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/

#196: Where do you start when you work on optimizing the performance of your application? The number of options can seem overwhelming. Do you start with memory, CPU, network, or somewhere else? Even if you get it right, it's only right for right now and not next week when you release a new version of your application, at which point you start the performance optimization process all over again.   What if there was a way to continuously optimize for performance? That's where Granulate comes in.   In this episode, we talk with Noam Salinger, Director of Product Management at Granulate, about different ways you can optimize the performance of your applications and the basics that you might not even be doing today.   Noam’s contact information: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/noam-salinger-313025126   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox/   Books and Courses: Catalog, Patterns, And Blueprints https://www.devopstoolkitseries.com/posts/catalog/   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/
