Tell us a little bit about your background, and what motivates you to continue to dig into every aspect of Cloud-native application development?Topic 2 - Developers have lots of opinions and approaches to building software. Have you seen much in terms of commonality or consistency about how developers are building cloud-native applications?Topic 3 - What are some of the areas that developers really love today, and some areas where developers are really frustrated?Topic 4 - A decade ago, it was all about the LAMP stack. We hear about the MEAN (Mongo, Express, Angular, Node) stack, but also lots of discussions about things like Kafka and more real-time applications. Are you seeing trends around application stacks, or is it really about lots of options now as applications move to microservices (and serverless)?Topic 5 - SED covered quite a few aspects of Machine Learning in 2018. What are some of the things you’ve learned about ML usage and how it’s impacting application developers?Topic 6 - What are some of the topics that you’re really interested to explore in 2019?Feedback?Email: show at thecloudcast dot netTwitter: @thecloudcastnet and @ServerlessCastFEEDBACK?Email: show @ reasoning dot showBluesky: @reasoningshow.bsky.socialTwitter/X: @ReasoningShowInstagram: @reasoningshowTikTok: @reasoningshow

Tell us a little bit about your background, why you’re drawn to the DevOps space, and maybe some of your goals for 2019.Topic 2 - What is the state of DevOps heading into 2019? We’ve seen it evolve from The Phoenix Project and “10 Deploys a Day” CI/CD to Infrastructure as a Code and HugOps. Topic 3 - It feels like DevOps is sort of at a crossroads, with a bunch of newer things emerging, from SRE to DevSecOps to NewOps. It that the market being uncomfortable with DevOps, or sort of a 2nd-generation set of knowledge emerging?Topic 4 - From a technology perspective, DevOps always seems to attract the CI/CD tools and then the Chef/Puppet/Ansible/Salt tools, and now there is somewhat of a shift to immutability with things like Containers/Kubernetes or even serverless. Is there a technology focus for DevOps in 2019? How does NewOps fit into this space?Topic 5 - From a culture perspective, there’s been HugOps and Blameless Post-Mortems and Empathy, all focused on cohesity between business and technical in owning challenges/goals/results. Are there culture-side frameworks that are emerging and gaining traction?Topic 6 -  As you listen to the community, what we some of the most common tips and suggestions that you find help people and groups to be more successful in the DevOps domain?Feedback?Email: show at thecloudcast dot netTwitter: @thecloudcastnet and @ServerlessCastFEEDBACK?Email: show @ reasoning dot showBluesky: @reasoningshow.bsky.socialTwitter/X: @ReasoningShowInstagram: @reasoningshowTikTok: @reasoningshow

Both of you are Cloudcast alumni. Tell us about this new company that you’ve started.Topic 2 - Sebastian, the last time we spoke with you, you had created the Kubeless project (at Skipboxx), just before selling it to Bitnami. That was when “Serverless on Kubernetes” was beginning to get very fragmented. Since then, Knative has come along to try and bring some unity around Serverless on Kubernetes. Give our listeners some basic understanding of how Knative works.Topic 3 - Let’s talk about TriggerMesh. Introduce us to the technology, and the role it plays in a Serverless or Knative or FaaS management environment?Topic 4 - Where do you expect to see the most innovation around Knative - Serving, Builds or Events? What are some of the areas where TriggerMesh is focused?Topic 5 - What are some of the serverless use-cases that you’re hearing about from early customers?Topic 6 - What are some of the things that customers are beginning to ask for that have surprised you?Feedback?Email: show at thecloudcast dot netTwitter: @thecloudcastnet and @ServerlessCastFEEDBACK?Email: show @ reasoning dot showBluesky: @reasoningshow.bsky.socialTwitter/X: @ReasoningShowInstagram: @reasoningshowTikTok: @reasoningshow

Give us a little bit of your background and what motivated you to start Rockset.Topic 2 - Sometimes we have founder guests that have a past of previous startups. And sometimes we have founder guests that are introducing something that sounds like it breaks most of the previous rules we’ve known. Let’s walk through what Rockset is attempting to deliver - “Apps without Pipelines”, “Serverless search”, “Schemaless ingest”, “natively uses SQL.”Topic 3 - Let’s talk about some of the use-cases that might not have been possible before Rockset, or were overly complex or expensive before Rockset?Topic 4 - You highlight that all of this is accessible via SQL, which is widely known and used by both technologists and typical data analysts. When you combine this with serverless concepts, is the focus of Rockset very much on making it easier for the masses to build and use data-centric applications?Topic 5 - What is some of the early feedback that you’re getting from users or the community about how the RockSet approach is different for them?Feedback?Email: show at thecloudcast dot netTwitter: @thecloudcastnet and @ServerlessCastFEEDBACK?Email: show @ reasoning dot showBluesky: @reasoningshow.bsky.socialTwitter/X: @ReasoningShowInstagram: @reasoningshowTikTok: @reasoningshow
