    The Quantum Leap with Dmitri Maslov

    The classical computing power has doubled every two years - a pattern known as Moore’s law. However, the ability to fabricate more and more transistors in a computer chip is approaching saturation as we are approaching atomic dimensions. Quantum Computing is a promising technology to take us beyond this. A quantum Computer uses qubits to run multi-dimensional quantum algorithms. Quantum Computers are faster and can solve problems that are beyond the reach of even the most powerful classical supercomputers. Dmitri Maslov is the Chief Software Architect at IBM’s Quantum Computing Division. He joins the show to discuss how Quantum Computing is different from Classical Computing. How to get started in this space, How would Quantum Computing impact current encryption standards, we also went through practical applications, quantum supremacy and quantum algorithms.

    Twisp: Reinventing the Ledger with Jarred Ward

    Monolithic relational databases are the traditional foundation of financial core ledger systems. Nevertheless, the process of building and operating mission-critical ledgers to track and reconcile payments and money movement is complex. Twisp is rethinking core accounting and financial orchestration on a cloud-native ledger system, so developers can stop re-invented the ledger and focus on building products their customer’s love. When you provision an instance of the Twisp accounting core, you get a transactions ledger for double-entry accounting, a chart of accounts to represent any economic activity, and layered balances for tracking settled, pending, and planned funds flows. All of this is accessible via a straightforward GraphQL API. In this episode, we speak with Jarred Ward, Co-founder & CEO of Twisp. Previously, Jarred was principal engineer at Simple, the first neobank, and later led the team building Open Platform at BBVA, one of the first banking-as-a-service products.

    Automatic Database Tuning with Andy Pavlo

    The default configuration in most databases is meant for broad compatibility rather than performance. Database tuning is a process in which the configurations of a database are modified to achieve optimal performance. Databases have hundreds of configuration knobs that control various factors, such as the amount of memory to use for caches or how often the data is written to the storage. The problem with these knobs is that they are not standardized (i.e., two databases may have a different name for the same knob), not independent (i.e., changing one knob can impact others), and not universal (i.e., what works for one application may be suboptimal for another). In reality, information about the effects of the knobs typically comes only from (expensive) experience. OtterTune is automatic database tuning software that promises to overcome these problems. It uses machine learning to tune the configuration knobs of your database automatically to improve performance. In this episode, we interview Andy Pavlo. Andy is a Database Professor at Carnegie Mellon and Co-Founder of OtterTune.

    Bridgecrew: Cloud Security with Guy Eisenkot

    Cloud computing provides tools, storage, servers, and software products through the internet. Securing these resources is a constant process for companies deploying new code to their cloud environments. It’s easy to overlook security flaws because company applications are very complex and many people work together to develop them. Wyze Labs, for example, had millions of users’ data stolen due to a mistake by a single employee. The company Bridgecrew is a cloud security platform helping to prevent mistakes like that from happening. Bridgecrew integrates into developer workloads to automatically find infrastructure errors in cloud accounts, workloads, and infrastructure as code. Their platform also monitors code reviews and build pipelines to prevent errors from being deployed into production. If an error is found then Bridgecrew’s software reverts that code back to its last known correct state. In today’s episode we talk with Guy Eisenkot, VP Product & Co-founder at Bridgecrew. Guy previously worked as a Principal Product Manager at RSA Security and as a Product Manager at Fortscale before that. We discuss Infrastructure as code, devsecops, cloud security, software supply chain and composition analysis.

    Developer-first Observability with Liran Haimovitch

    As software engineering teams start to build products that become more and more mature. It becomes necessary to be able to debug complex issues with tooling that enables understanding of the full scenario. This can come from application scenarios where APIs are running multiple versions, where users are using your app from multiple devices, device types, OS versions, browser versions, things like that. You may also run into issues with network connectivity or a functionality that is intermittent based on sort of use cases and user interactions. And for this sort of scenario, we've come to start to use a class of tools for debugging called observability tools, observability tools, help developers to understand the full scenario of an application by digging into the data that is being used and recorded and can help to pipe data across various , solutions that are used within enterprises to read and discover what's going on from analytics. One such tool, one product used for this is Rookout . And we are here today, chatting with Liran Haimovitch . We'll talk a little bit about the product and his history, as well as the use case for out and sort of where the team is headed.
