Distributed databases are necessary for storing and managing data across multiple nodes in a network. They provide scalability, fault tolerance, improved performance, and cost savings. By distributing data across nodes, they allow for efficient processing of large amounts of data and redundancy against failures. They can also be used to store data across multiple locations for faster access and better performance. 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. In particular, it works well with edge functions provided by cloud platforms such as CloudFlare, Netlify, and Vercel, by putting your data geographically close to the code that accesses it. Glauber Costa is the Founder and CEO of ChiselStrike the company behind Turso, and he joins us today. Full disclosure: ChiselStrike is a sponsor of Software Engineering Daily.

The increasing complexity of modern cloud-native architectures has led to the emergence Platform Engineering. This practice involves the development and upkeep of an integrated product, known as an “Internal Developer Platform,” which serves as a flexible and supported abstraction layer between application developers and the underlying technologies. Luca Galante leads Product at Humanitec and he joins us today. 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. Currently, Sean is Head of Marketing and Developer Relations at Skyflow and host of the podcast Partially Redacted, a podcast about privacy and security engineering.

What are the reasons why we need to improve performance? The JVM is a powerful piece of software – this is the reason why Java has maintained its popularity over the past 26+ years. But… there are some ways that the JVM works that can impact the performance of your applications. One of the biggest challenges is latency – how quickly can we respond to a request from a user to access your application. That comes down to garbage collection – which leads to pauses and a bad customer experience. Garbage collection pauses can vary. But they impact application performance. The bigger the heap, the longer your pauses…but how do you optimize? What about warm-up time? That’s also a big challenge. We’ve addressed these problems without re-writing code from scratch – and that leads to better Java performance without any code changes. This episode explores how you can use a performance JVM to make applications start fast, go fast, and stay fast. Full disclosure: Azul is a sponsor of Software Engineering Daily.

Maintaining availability in a modern digital application is critical to keeping your application operating and available and to keep meeting your customers growing demands. There are many observability platforms out there and certainly Prometheus is a popular open source solution for cloud native companies yet operating an observability platform, costs money, and all of the platforms are highly data intensive. Managing costs and data retention policies is critical to keeping your application operating healthy and operating available. Chronosphere is the leading observability platform for scaling cloud native applications. Focusing on managing costs by managing data. Martin Mao is the co-founder and CEO of Chronosphere 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 most recent 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.

Originally published on February 12, 2022.Lee Atchison spent seven years at Amazon working in retail, software distribution, and Amazon Web Services. He then moved to New Relic, where he has spent four years scaling the company’s internal architecture. From his decade of experience at fast-growing web technology companies, Lee has written the book Architecting for Scale, from O’Reilly.As an application scales, it becomes significantly more complicated while at the same time receiving more traffic. The intersection of these two problems leads to a variety of discussions around availability, risk management, and microservices.

Cloud native applications utilizing microservice architectures has grown into one of the most popular application architectural patterns in recent years. The value of leveraging dynamic cloud resources, along with the flexibility and scalability of microservice architectures, creates a strong paradigm that’s hard to miss. The strong adoption of Kubernetes has strengthened the pattern enormously. The unique structure and requirements of Kubernetes has led to an increased need for Kubernetes specific monitoring and diagnostics tools. There has been a large number of companies who have jumped at this opportunity. One of those companies is Komodor, a Kubernetes diagnostics platform that focuses on Kubernetes troubleshooting for the entire Kubernetes stack. Itiel Shwartz is the co-founder and CTO of Komodor, and he joins us today. Full disclosure: Komodor is a sponsor of Software Engineering Daily.

Enterprise-grade authentication is often an essential ingredient to virtually all applications in today’s world. However, companies often have a hard time understanding the value of that authentication especially during the early stages of product development. And hardening of an application is often left as an afterthought. Add enterprise-level requirements such as single sign-on and two-factor authentication and other requirements that the once afterthought becomes are now major issues. Delaying launch schedules and new feature launches. WorkOS is dramatically shortening this development time by providing tools to allow in integrating complex enterprise standards with just a few lines of code, allowing developers to focus on core products and features. Michael Grinich is the CEO of WorkOS and is my guest today.
