#189: In the distant past, we used punchcards and dumb terminals to program. Then came the advent of the personal computer and we started developing locally on our machines. There are now new offerings that allow us to use pretty much any device that has a web browser to do all our programming. One of those offerings is Gitpod.   On this episode, we speak with Chris Weichel, CTO of Gitpod, about the history of Gitpod and why the standard developer machine is ripe for disruption.   Chris’ contact information: Twitter: https://twitter.com/csweichel LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christian-weichel-740b4224/   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/

#188: Just because you’ve run some chaos experiments against your system doesn’t mean you are ready to fend off wide ranging and prolonged attacks. It just means that you might be ready for the attacks you’ve created experiments for. Why? Because you probably didn’t actually fully load your systems with persistent and ever-changing attacks.   In this episode, we talk with Benjamin Wilms, CEO of Steadybit, about why just running chaos experiments is just one part of helping make your systems resilient and why capturing what happens in real-life incidents can help you create even better experiments.   Benjamin’s contact information: Twitter: https://twitter.com/mrbwilms LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjamin-wilms/   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/

#187: When writing tests that need to talk to a data source, you're usually faced with a couple of options. The first one is that you setup a database server on your machine. The problem with that is what happens when other developers need to run those same tests? They have to setup the database too.   The other option is you can mock your database connections. However, it's hard to keep your mock up to date with the latest features of the database you are using. What if there was another option you could use? Enter Testcontainers.   In this episode we speak with Sergei Egorov from AtomicJar about the history of Testcontainers and how to implement it into your development processes.   Sergei’s contact information: Twitter: https://twitter.com/bsideup LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bsideup/   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/

#186: Most companies say they want their application developers to be shipping more code faster and faster. However, those same companies don’t do enough to help the application developers be successful at doing that.   In this episode, we speak with Ankit Bhati, co-founder and CEO at Amnic, about how by providing a unified operating platform for your application developers will not only help speed up the work that those developers do, but also reduce the risk in running the applications that go through this platform.   Ankit’s contact information: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ankitbhati/   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/

#185: You've been told that you have to reduce your AWS bill. You also know that you cannot make any major changes to your infrastructure quickly. By carefully considering your needs and being willing to make some concessions, you can reduce your AWS bill significantly. But where do you start?   In this episode, we talk with Ganesh The Awesome from GlobalDots about where to start when trying to reduce your AWS bill.   Ganesh’s contact information: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevenpuddephatt/   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/

#184: The public cloud is a powerful tool that allows businesses to outsource their data and compute to ensure security, availability, scalability, and reliability. But like many tools, they cannot be used best without understanding the total cost of ownership. By cost, we really mean cold, hard cash.   In this episode, we talk with Jason Yaeger, Co-Founder & CEO of Tenacity Cloud, about how Tenacity is tackling the problem of helping businesses understand their true cloud costs and why you shouldn't trust your cloud provider to give you the best possible discounts.   Jason’s contact information: Twitter: https://twitter.com/jasnoyaeger LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonyaeger/   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/

#182: As developers, we've all started at least a few side projects. Sometimes they're just for fun, or as a way of learning something new.   Other times you find yourself building something really cool that might even turn out to be your life's work. If you're able to run that project and grow it to a sizable monthly revenue, you could sell it and potentially do whatever you want for the rest of your life.   In this episode, we talk with Ryan Kulp about the path he took to get to Merge Freeze and how you might be able to follow a similar path.   Ryan’s contact information: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ryanckulp Website: https://www.ryanckulp.com/   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/

#181: Once you have your Kubernetes cluster up and running, what do you do next? One option is to monitor it and make sure everything is running smoothly.   On this episode, we talk with Ruben Hakopian, the founder of Kubevious, about how the project started and how you can start using it today.   Ruben’s contact information: Twitter: https://twitter.com/rubenhak LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rubenhak   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/
