Naga Sujitha Vummaneni and Sundeep Bobba join Matty to talk about their book, which reframes CI/CD pipelines as control systems: actuators, feedback signals, and constraints. They dig into what that model demands once AI agents start shipping code at machine speed, and why a bypassed control is a design signal, not a compliance failure.

Runtime Analysis with Brian Kelly
Most developers are familiar with two sources of data about their applications: 1) static code analysis, and 2) observability tools monitoring their system in production.
