Shipping Oxide with Bryan Cantrill
Hyperscalers refer to expansive cloud service providers capable of delivering enterprise-scale computing and storage services. These Hyperscalers like Google, Amazon, Facebook that have huge data centers and are either running their own software or renting out this infrastructure realized a long time back that the traditional Network, Storage & Compute server racks were not enough to fulfill the requirements of a modern enterprise at scale. So they built custom solutions for their data center requirements.
For all of the other companies and organizations that have their own data centers, they are still running legacy old technology. Oxide Computer is a company aiming to democratize access to rack-scale technology and provide a seamless software stack to facilitate its implementation.
Bryan Cantrill is the Co-Founder and CTO of Oxide Computer and he joins us in this episode.

Superfast JVM Startup with Gerrit Grunwald
CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) is a new technology that can improve startup and warmup times by orders of magnitude. It is a project of OpenJDK that was proposed and led by Azul. The CRaC Project defines public Java APIs that allow for the coordination of resources during checkpoint and restore operations. With CRaC, a checkpoint can be set at any point where an application can be safely paused. Azul is releasing a reference implementation of CRaC in JDK 17 with the Azul Zulu Build of OpenJDK for x86 64-bit Linux update. CRaC allows for an “instant” start at any point in the application lifecycle at an optimal speed. It also work’s really well with Azul’s ReadyNow! feature that optimizes warm-up. For the first time, developers will have a TCK-tested, CRaC-configured, production-ready JVM with commercial support available for their use.
Gerrit Grunwald is a Java Champion & Principle Engineer at Azul and he joins us in this episode.
Full disclosure: Azul is a sponsor of Software Engineering Daily.
