DevOps Paradox

#155: Do you know what the difference is between a project and a product in your day job? After years of working with clients as well as working in open source, we've figured out the differences between a project and a product, why it's important to know the differences, and how you can use this knowledge to build better products.   In this episode, Darin and Viktor walk you through what they are and why they're different, as well as provide insight into how these concepts can impact your day-to-day work.   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/

#153: Cloud has been around in an organization for a number of years and has had many, many employees and contractors managing the cloud assets. These assets have been created in numerous ways. Sometimes Terraform was used. Other times, a script was written that used the CLI provided by the cloud vendor. Finally, other assets were created by pointing and clicking in the console.   You’ve been recently hired into this company to fix the mess that they are in. Where are you going to start?   In this episode, we speak with Eran Bibi from Firefly about why you might want to try to get a handle on the unmanaged assets first before you do anything else.   Eran’s info: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eran-bibi/ Website: https://www.gofirefly.io/   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox/   Books and Courses: Catalog, Patterns, And Blueprints https://www.devopstoolkitseries.com/posts/catalog/   Kubernetes Chaos Engineering With Chaos Toolkit And Istio https://www.devopstoolkitseries.com/posts/chaos/   Canary Deployments To Kubernetes Using Istio and Friends https://www.devopstoolkitseries.com/posts/canary/   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/

#151: As an application developer, you know you need data about your application. Usually, that data starts with logs. Over time, you add in metrics. At some point, you might add traces.
