Bug Reporting is Broken and how Jam is Fixing that with Dani Grant & Mohd Irtefa
Bug reporting hasn't changed since the 1990's. Despite all the technological advancements we've made in the rest of software development, the way we handle bugs has stayed the same. It is common practice for non technical teams to provide bug reports that are missing vital information for developers to identify and quickly fix code, such as: network requests, console logs, HAR file, device information, video or screenshot replication, and more. Providing a comprehensive bug report requires logging into many tools and time spent context switching, creating an environment where people are less likely to report bugs, which is not an ideal scenario for any founder or builder. Dani & Irtefa, co-founders at Jam.dev set out to build a tool that will enable anyone, no matter their technical background, to capture rich contextual technical data about bugs, so that developers can quickly identify and resolve issues. Jam is a browser extension that will instantly replay a bug while automatically attaching diagnostics: network requests and speed, console logs, device, and more - all in one easy click. You don’t have to log into a new tool or disrupt workflows, as Jam has direct integrations with all the first class bug reporting tools to seamlessly drop diagnostics into a ticket. In this episode, Dani & Irtefa share their experience building greenfield products for Cloudflare’s Emerging Technology and Incubation team, how bug reporting was the common pain-point that impacted their product velocity, and the technology decisions they made when building Jam.

Cloud-Oriented Programming (Part 2) with Elad Ben-Israel
The cloud has become an all-encompassing platform for running diverse applications and enabling individuals and teams to add value by utilizing services and infrastructure that streamline the process of software building and operation. Nonetheless, the cloud has presented new hurdles for developers as it is intricate, and application development demands comprehension of cloud service intricacies. Moreover, creating portable applications across different cloud providers, as well as local testing and debugging, have proven to be difficult. Additionally, leaky abstractions and inadequate tooling have made it challenging to repurpose cloud architectures into reusable components. To address these challenges, a cloud-centric programming language called Wing has been introduced. Wing enables developers to create distributed systems that fully capitalize on the cloud's capabilities without the need to concern themselves with the underlying infrastructure.

Streaming Analytics with Hojjat Jafarpour
Event stream processing, also referred to as streaming analytics, involves analyzing vast amounts of current and “in-motion” data using continuous queries known as event streams. These streams are triggered by specific events resulting from actions such as financial transactions, equipment failures, social media posts, website clicks, or other quantifiable activities. The data can originate from a variety of sources, including the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud applications, transactions, mobile devices, web interactions, and machine sensors. Streaming analytics platforms enable organizations to extract business value from data in motion, similar to how traditional analytics tools derive insights from data at rest. DeltaStream is a unified serverless stream processing platform to manage, secure and process all your event streams and is based on Apache Flink. Hojjat Jafarpour is the Founder and CEO at DeltaStream and he joins us today. Before joining DeltaStream, Hojjat was at Confluent, the company behind Apache Kafka, he built a product called ksqlDB, ksqlDB is a database built to do Stream processing on top of Apache Kafka.

Turso: Globally Replicated SQLite with Glauber Costa
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.

Improved Java Performance Sans Code Changes with Simon Ritter
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.
