Surviving ChatGPT with Christian Hubicki

ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence language model developed by OpenAI. It is part of the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) family of models, which are designed to generate human-like text based on input prompts. ChatGPT is specifically trained to carry out conversational tasks, such as answering questions, completing sentences, and engaging in dialogue. It has been pre-trained on a large corpus of text data and fine-tuned on specific tasks to improve its performance. As a result, ChatGPT can generate responses that are often coherent, relevant, and natural-sounding.

Creating Mock APIs with Tom Akehurst

API mocking is a technique used to simulate the behavior of an API without actually connecting to the real API. It is useful for various reasons, including testing, isolation, development, and cost reduction. By using API mocking, developers can test their code without relying on the availability of the real API, isolate the code being tested from the behavior of the API, work on their code even when the API is not yet available, and reduce the number of requests they make to the real API, thus saving money. WireMock is a flexible tool for building mock APIs and can operate as either a standalone server or as a managed service through WireMock Cloud. Tom Akehurst is the CTO & Co-founder at WireMock and he joins us today.

Kubernetes Cost Management with Matt Ray

As companies move more and more workloads to the cloud, cost management in the cloud is becoming critically important. Modern application development methodology increasingly involves moving to service and microservice architectures enabled by the cloud and kubernetes is the backbone of this modern infrastructure trend. Managing costs of kubernetes clusters is therefore becoming increasingly important. Kubecost is the company focused on giving visibility into kubernetes resources, allowing you to reduce your overall kubernetes based infrastructure spend. OpenCost is an open-source project by Kubecost and supported by a few other partner companies. Matt Ray is Senior Community Manager at OpenCost and he joins us today.

Istio Ambient Mesh with Brian Gracely

Let's say you have a set of microservices running on a Kubernetes cluster. In the past, developers used to program features like service discovery, observability, who's allowed to talk to whom and other security related features directly into the application code. This slowed down the dev cycle and it made these microservices bigger and just generally made everything less flexible. The service mesh is a tool responsible for handling service-to-service communication. You keep your application small and business focused and instead you dynamically program the intelligence into the network. The Istio ambient mesh is an alternative to the standard Istio architecture, it allows you to not have to run sidecars per application. The company Solo.io was founded by Idit Levine a few years ago. Interestingly the name Solo comes from her being the Solo founder when she started the company and the io domain name was a cool thing to have back then. Brian Gracely is the Head of Marketing at Solo.io and he joins us today.

Permit Elements and Fullstack Authorization with Or Weis

Permissions are Hard! And they are becoming harder as we move more into the Cloud-native ecosystem. If we go back in time to the point where it was just a single monolith that you were building on your own. You'll probably have a framework to manage the permissions for you. But when you are working with distributed microservices, especially if you are a polyglot, you can't use those solutions anymore. So you end up having to sprinkle a bit of access control into every little microservice and component that you build. In addition, with the scale of modern applications, it's no longer just your services, there are a lot of third-party services that you have to connect to. Think about things like authentication, billing, analytics and other stuff that you combine from eternal services into what you are building. Permit.io empowers developers to bake in permissions and access control into any product in minutes and takes away the pain of constantly rebuilding them. Or Weis is the co-founder and CEO of Permit.io and joins us today. Sponsorship inquiries: sponsor@softwareengineeringdaily.com

Cloud Native Compiler with John Ceccarelli

Java is a write once run anywhere programming language. The way you do that is you use the javac compiler and compile the source files down to the class files. Those class files can run on any system in interpreted mode. But those class files that are run in interpreted mode, they are not machine code specific. To get that code to run fast you need to turn that into optimized machine code and that’s what the JIT compiler does. The open JDK contains its JIT compiler called Hotspot. Azul is a company that specializes in Java for the enterprise. It has the largest Java engineering team after Oracle. John Ceccarelli is the Senior Director of Product Management at Azul Systems responsible for Azul Platform Prime which is their hyper optimized build of OpenJDK. In this episode we explore the fundamentals of compilers. We also discuss Azul's Cloud Native Compiler, the programs that are suitable for the Cloud Native Compiler and the Deployment model of CNC.

MLOps Systems at Scale with Krishna Gade

Although we like to think about ML workflows as straight line narratives from experiment to training to production, and then monitoring, the reality for large companies is that all the steps are happening at one time in concert with other models, with shifting data and sometimes misaligned key feature inputs. Moreover regulated firms are required to track all the models, the changes, and the impacts of those changes For compliance. Enter explainability supported by model monitoring, far from sleepy monitoring of changes and anomalies. Today's ML monitoring and performance management requires the ability to identify changes and alert the right people, the ability to assist in diagnosing issues, to create what if scenarios, and the ability to pop models back into production in real time with proper governance. Fiddler is a startup focused on enterprise model performance management. They are tackling the unique challenges of building in-house stable and secure MLOps systems at scale. Today we are interviewing Krishna Gade about trusting AI, the technical challenges of ML monitoring and the real world problem statements beyond compliance that explainability can address.
