DevOps Paradox

#206: As an application developer, you're probably used to pulling libraries from Maven Central, PyPI, or npm Registry. Has it ever crossed your mind how secure is this thing that I'm pulling or do you just YOLO so you can get the job done? In this episode, we speak with Stephen Chin, VP of Developer Relations at JFrog, about Pyrsia, an open source project that helps protect the open source supply chain so you can have confidence in the libraries that you use.

#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.

#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.

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.

#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.

#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.

#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.

#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.

#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.
