Observability is becoming an increasingly competitive space in the software world. Many developers have heard of Datadog and New Relic, but there are a seemingly countless number of observability products out there. Costa Tsaousis (he/him) is the Founder and CEO of Netdata. His goal was to build an open-source platform that was high-resolution, real-time, and easily scalable. Netdata is the result. It’s relatively new to the crowded observability space, but it’s grown into a major presence. Costa joins the show to talk about the design philosophy of Netdata, and how it inverts a common observability design pattern.   This episode is hosted by Lee Atchison. Lee Atchison is a software architect, author, and thought leader on cloud computing and application modernization. His best-selling book, Architecting for Scale (O’Reilly Media), is an essential resource for technical teams looking to maintain high availability and manage risk in their cloud environments. Lee is the host of his podcast, Modern Digital Business, an engaging and informative podcast produced for people looking to build and grow their digital business with the help of modern applications and processes developed for today’s fast-moving business environment.

If you’re a developer, you’ve probably worked with an API, or application programming interface. An API is a set of rules for how to communicate with an applications or device. For example, when you build an app and want to use Stripe to handle payments, or use Slack to deliver notifications, it’s APIs that make this possible. Handling communication between different applications was historically challenging, but with the growth of cloud computing and the need for smooth interoperability, APIs have become standard, and are now often considered essential to make a company accessible and visible. The growth of APIs is about to accelerate even more because of generative AI. The reason is that good APIs will be needed so AIs can write code to stitch together multiple systems. Postman is a popular application and platform for building and using APIs, and they recently released their 2023 State of the API Report. Joyce Lin is the Head of Developer Relations at Postman and she joins the show today to talk about the history of APIs, why APIs have exploded in popularity, and what the future looks like. Sean’s been an academic, startup founder, and Googler. He has published works covering a wide range of topics from information visualization to quantum computing.

There are hundreds of observability companies out there, and many ways to think about observability, such as application performance monitoring, server monitoring, and tracing. In a production application, multiple tools are often needed to get proper visibility on the application. This creates some challenges. Applications can produce lots of different observatory observability data, but how should the data be routed to the various downstream tools? In addition, how can data be selectively sent to different storage tiers to minimize costs? Calyptia is a service that helps manage observability data from source to destination. Eduardo Silva is the founder and CEO of Calyptia and he joins us in this episode. This episode is hosted by Lee Atchison.

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol, or HTTP, is used to load webpages using hypertext links, and it’s the foundation of the web. Tim Berners-Lee famously created HTTP version 0.9 in 1989, and defined the essential behavior of a client and a server. Version 1.0 was eventually finalized in 1996, and its secure variant called HTTPS is now used on more than 80% of websites. HTTP continues to undergo intense development and version 3 in now being actively adopted across the tech industry. Nick Shadrin is a Software Architect at NGINX, and Roman Arutyunyan is a Principal Software Engineer at NGINX. Nick and Roman are experts in HTTP and they join the show today to tell the history of its evolution since 1989, and how NGINX is implementing support for HTTP/3. Full disclosure: NGINX is a sponsor of Software Engineering Daily. Mike Bifulco is CTO and co-founder of Craftwork. He’s also a developer advocate, writer, podcaster and serial startup founder. In past lives, Mike worked for Google, Stripe, Microsoft, and Gymnasium. Mike is also co-founder of APIs You Won’t Hate, a community for API Developers on the web.

A platform as a service, or PaaS, is the concept of a complete development and deployment environment in the cloud. One of the best examples is Heroku, which was created in 2007 and later acquired by Salesforce. Although these services are great for helping startups get off the ground quickly, they can ultimately become a form of technical debt because of issues with cost, control, scale, and reliability. Today we’re speaking with Brandon Bayer. Brandon is a licensed aircraft pilot, and he’s also the CEO of Flightcontrol, a platform as a service company that he co-founded. Flightcontrol is built on top of AWS, and allows users to deploy it on their own AWS infrastructure. In this episode, Brandon talks about how his team engineered Flightcontrol, and how it was designed for small and large teams, with scalability and maintainability in mind. Sean’s been an academic, startup founder, and Googler. He has published works covering a wide range of topics from information visualization to quantum computing.

Picture a user interacting with a web app on their phone. When they tap the screen the app triggers communication with a server, which in turn communicates with a database. This process then happens in reverse to eventually update what the user sees on-screen. The latency for this round trip depends a lot on the physical distance between the user and the server. In a traditional web app, latency can be especially poor when the user and the server are separated by an ocean, and they must communicate through an underwater trans-oceanic link. However, with edge computing, multiple servers and data centers create a distributed system that greatly improves response times.   Turso is an edge-hosted, distributed database based on libSQL, an open-source and open-contribution fork of SQLite. It was designed to minimize query latency for applications where queries come from anywhere in the world. Glauber Costa is the Founder and CEO of Turso and he joins us in this episode. Full disclosure: Turso is a sponsor of Software Engineering Daily. This episode is hosted by Lee Atchison.

Developer experience, or DevX, is a critical aspect of modern software development that focuses on creating a seamless and productive environment for developers. It encompasses everything from the tools and technologies used in the development process to the documentation, libraries, and frameworks available to streamline coding tasks. An emphasis on DevX can enhance individual developer productivity and, as a consequence, boost the overall success and innovation of software projects. Amazon Web Services recently created the Next Gen DevX Division. This new division is using generative AI and foundation models to reimagine the experience of all builders on the AWS platform. Deepak Singh is the Vice President of Next Gen DevX at AWS and he joins us in this episode. Jordi Mon Companys is a product manager and marketer that specializes in software delivery, developer experience, cloud native and open source. He has developed his career at companies like GitLab, Weaveworks, Harness and other platform and devtool providers. His interests range from software supply chain security to open source innovation.
