The InfoQ Podcast

Today on the InfoQ Podcast, Wes Reisz speaks with one of the people at the center of the creation of the idea of DevOps. Andrew Clay Shafer is the VP of Transformation at Red Hat where his role is about helping companies change their relationship with software in the cloud native ecosystem. In 2009, he was one of the people who first helped to shape what we know today as DevOps. On the podcast Shafer talks about the Three Economies, Wall of Confusion, and a bit about those first mentions of DevOps. Listen to the podcast for more.

Today on the InfoQ Podcast, Wes Reisz talks with two of the engineers currently working on removing the dependency of ZooKeeper in Kafka. ZooKeeper is used to maintain the metadata store required to operate Kafka. While ZooKeepers removal from Kafka will simplify the operational complexity and improve some of the scalability aspects of the platform, it is a huge undertaking that represents major changes to the overall architecture. Justin Gustafson and Colin McCabe are two engineers working on change. On the podcast, the three discuss why the team made this decision, what the ramifications are, and explore what both the near and future state will be with upgrading and operating Kafka.

Today on The InfoQ Podcast, Wes Reisz talks to Pat Helland about the relationship between software architecture and urban planning. Pat explores planning for future growth, regulations/standards, and communication practices that cities--and software architecture--had to evolve to use. He uses these comparisons to distil lessons that architects can use in building distributed systems. A key theme throughout the podcast is constraints improve system design by restraining project scope. Listen to the podcast for more.

Today on the InfoQ Podcast, Yan Cui (a long time AWS Lambda user and consultant) and Wes Reisz discuss serverless architectures. The conversation starts by focusing on architectural patterns around choreography and orchestration. From there, the two move into updates on the current state of serverless cold start times, distributed tracing, and state. Today’s podcast, while not specific to AWS, does lean heavily on Yan’s expertise with AWS and AWS Lambda. Listen to the podcast for more.
