Solving Usage-Based Pricing with Puneet Gupta
Usage-Based Pricing is becoming more and more popular. Led by the wild popularity of cloud service providers such as AWS, customers are demanding more visibility into usage information and more accountability for the dollars they spend on a service.
But historically service oriented products have shied away from usage based pricing because of the complexity involved in managing the data involved.
Amberflo is a service that provides a platform for building and deploying usage based pricing. Puneet Gupta is the CEO and Founder of Amberflo and he is our guest today.
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.

Cloud Native in 2023 with Chris Aniszczyk
Cloud native technologies empower organizations to build and run scalable applications in modern, dynamic environments such as public, private, and hybrid clouds. Containers, service meshes, microservices, immutable infrastructure, and declarative APIs exemplify this approach.
These techniques enable loosely coupled systems that are resilient, manageable, and observable. Combined with robust automation, they allow engineers to make high-impact changes frequently and predictably with minimal toil.
Chris Aniszczyk is the CTO at Cloud Native Computing Foundation and he joins us today.
This Interview was recorded at KubeCon Europe and wouldn’t have been possible without the generous support from The Linux Foundation.
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.

GitOps for Kubernetes with Priyanka Ravi and Stefan Prodan
Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.
Although it improves the management and scaling of infrastructure and applications, Kubernetes frequently has challenges managing the complexity of releasing applications.
Git is the most widely used version-control system in the software industry today. GitOps is a set of procedures that uses the power of Git to provide both revision and change control within the Kubernetes platform.
Flux is an open source project that implements GitOps-driven continuous deployment for Kubernetes.
In this episode we speak with Priyanka Ravi and Stefan Prodan from Weaveworks.

Cloud-Oriented Programming (Part 2) with Elad Ben-Israel
The cloud has become an all-encompassing platform for running diverse applications and enabling individuals and teams to add value by utilizing services and infrastructure that streamline the process of software building and operation. Nonetheless, the cloud has presented new hurdles for developers as it is intricate, and application development demands comprehension of cloud service intricacies. Moreover, creating portable applications across different cloud providers, as well as local testing and debugging, have proven to be difficult. Additionally, leaky abstractions and inadequate tooling have made it challenging to repurpose cloud architectures into reusable components.
To address these challenges, a cloud-centric programming language called Wing has been introduced. Wing enables developers to create distributed systems that fully capitalize on the cloud’s capabilities without the need to concern themselves with the underlying infrastructure.
Jeff is a DevSecOps engineer with strong experience in Security, The Software Development Life Cycle and Cloud Technologies. His advanced expertise in HashiCorp technologies places him as one of the most sought after trainers in the EMEA region and beyond. Jeff has worked for a range of different companies – from small startups to some of the biggest financial institutions. He now successfully runs his own consultancy that provides services in DevSecOps, Cloud and Security. Check it out on hemmen.LU and follow Jeff on LinkedIn @jeffhemmen
