#259: Terminals have been around for decades, serving as the backbone of many workflows and operations in the tech world. From managing servers to local file manipulation, terminals offer a direct line to the heart of computing. However, with the advent of graphical user interfaces (GUIs), the terminal's prominence has waned among the general user base, though it remains a powerhouse for those who know how to wield it. Wave Terminal has emerged as a beacon of innovation in the static terminal landscape, bringing with it a host of features that leverage today's technology without abandoning the ..read more

#258: As startups journey through their growth phases, the choices made regarding technology infrastructure can significantly impact their agility, scalability, and ultimately, their success. In this episode, Darin and Viktor discuss a blog post from someone that leads infrastructure at a startup where he writes about the decisions that they made as they were building their startup.   (Almost) Every infrastructure decision I endorse or regret after 4 years running infrastructure at a startup https://cep.dev/posts/every-infrastructure-decision-i-endorse-or-regret-after-4-years-running-infr ..read more

#257: As the digital world continues to evolve, businesses and technology leaders find themselves at a critical inflection point, particularly when it comes to the deployment and management of infrastructure. The journey from traditional IT to cloud-native platforms has been significant, pushing the boundaries of innovation and efficiency. Yet, the continuous evolution raises a fundamental question: What lies ahead for Kubernetes, cloud-native platforms, and the burgeoning field of edge computing? In this episode we speak with Joseph Sandoval about how Adobe's journey, from pioneering with its ..read more

#255: In an era where software development and operations are increasingly converging, the need for effective and efficient observability tools has never been more critical. As systems grow in complexity and the lines between development and operations blur, the role of observability in understanding and managing these systems becomes more prominent. One significant problem is the dichotomy developers face: either being completely isolated from production observability data or overwhelmed by the volume of information available, most of which may not be directly relevant to their specific tasks ..read more

#253: As we move forward in 2024, one thing stands firm - platform engineering remains a significant focus for companies and has become a key component in the digital transformation journey. This realization drove the creation of the Platform Engineering Maturity Model, a comprehensive guide that serves organizations in various stages of their platform engineering journey. In this episode, we speak with Abby Bangser, one of the lead authors of the Platform Engineering Maturity Model published by CNCF.   Abby's contact information: X (Formerly Twitter): https://twitter.com/a_bangser Linked ..read more

#251: We're becoming more and more dependent on sophisticated systems that transport data from one part of our application to another. This infrastructure, often referred to as message brokers, is a vital backbone supporting many products we use daily. But are we fully leveraging their power and simplicity? In this episode, we speak with Valera Bronshtein, Director of Infrastructure at Memphis.dev, about event-based architectures and why using effective message brokers doesn't have to be hard or complicated.   Valera's contact information: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ValeraBronsht Linked ..read more

#250: Sure, we can use Generative AI to write code for us and generate cool pictures...sometimes. But who has the responsibility for making sure all that infrastructure stays up and running? Look no further than your favorite sysadmin or cloud engineer. There is nothing new under the sun... In this 250th episode, we have our friend Patrick Debois back on to talk about how he's researching we can use Generative AI beyond just the typical use cases that we see today and why understanding how to integrate all these new tools together may be more important than learning how to be a prompt engineer ..read more

#248: When thinking about starting to learn a new technology, where do you start? Are you so busy at work that you're not able to spend any time learning something new? Are you concerned that when your company finally jumps on the AI bandwagon, will you be left behind? In this episode, Darin and Viktor talk about when and how you might want to start preparing yourself for the situation that will probably be arriving sooner than you think.   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   S ..read more

#247: What do you think of when I say “Developer Relations”? Is it a person that flys from conference to conference giving talks? Is it someone that is chasing you down to scan your badge in a booth? What if the answer to both of those questions is both yes and no? In this episode, we speak with Lian Li about the realities of developer relations and how developer relations isn’t just something you buy off the shelf.   Lian’s contact information: X (Formerly Twitter): https://twitter.com/lianmakesthings LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lian-li/   YouTube channel: https://youtube ..read more
