Open-Source Cloud Asset Management with Yevgeny Pats
Nearly all new tech companies build in a public cloud and established companies are rapidly migrating to the cloud from their on-prem data centers. But this move to the cloud can lead to a visibility problem. Cloud Providers offer not only Compute instances but also manage services like databases, blob storage, queues and more. It can be difficult for SRE teams and security departments to understand what is happening across a company's cloud accounts. Yevgeny Pats is the creator of CloudQuery, an open source cloud asset inventory powered by SQL. CloudQuery allows you to ingest and structure the resources in your cloud accounts so that you can query them using SQL. This allows SRE teams to understand the source of specific resources while security teams can ensure compliance with policies. In this episode we’ll discuss CloudQuery, Yevgeny’s entrepreneurial background and raising funding with an open source project Sponsorship inquiries: sponsor@softwareengineeringdaily.com.

Decodable Streaming with Eric Sammer
Streaming data platforms like Kafka, Pulsar, and Kinesis are now common in mainstream enterprise architectures, providing low-latency real-time messaging for analytics and applications. However, stream processing - the act of filtering, transforming, or analyzing the data inside the messages - is still an exercise left to the receiving microservice or datastore, a custom programming exercise likely repeated over and over within an application. Stream processing tools such as Apache Flink and ksqlDB have been around for half a decade, but their complexity has hindered adoption. Decodable’s mission is to radically simplify processing on the stream with a SaaS platform based on Flink, and using only SQL which frees up developers to focus on what matters most. Eric Sammer is founder and CEO of Decodable and joins the show to discuss the potential of stream processing, its role in modern data platforms, and how it’s being used today.

Kubernetes Security Compliance with Jimmy Mesta
The Kubernetes ecosystem has drastically changed how development teams ship software. While Kubernetes has provided many advancements in cloud infrastructure, it has also left organizations with massive security blindspots. KSOC was created to give developers and security teams a single control plane to harden multi-cluster Kubernetes environments through event-driven analysis, least privilege enforcement, and remediation-as-code. Jimmy Mesta is the Co-Founder and CTO of KSOC and joins the show to discuss modern Kubernetes security challenges and how security teams need to prepare for a future where Kubernetes is the top attack target for adversaries.

New Relic Architecture with Nic Benders
In software engineering, telemetry is the data that is collected about your applications. Unlike logging, which is used in the development of apps to pinpoint errors and code flows, telemetry data includes all operational data including logs, metrics, events, traces, usage, and other analytical data. Companies usually visualize this information to troubleshoot problems and understand patterns and opportunities in how their applications are used. The company New Relic is a modern observability platform built to optimize your entire software stack from one place. New Relic includes a Telemetry Data Platform that acts as a single source of truth for telemetry data. Built on top of that are tools for full stack observability to visualize and troubleshoot your data in milliseconds. When a problem does occur, New Relic’s applied intelligence will detect and understand the problem to help resolve it faster. Nic Benders is New Relic’s chief architect and GVP of engineering. As part of the engineering team since the early days of the company, Benders has been involved with everything from Agent development to ZooKeeper deployments and all the pieces and products in between. In his role as chief architect, Benders looks after the long-term technical strategy behind New Relic’s product and the experience of all the engineering teams who build it. He joins the show to discuss the engineering behind New Relic.

Notifications Infrastructure with Chris Bell
Notifications have typically been an area of a product where building in-house has been the only option. However, building a best-in-class notifications system that delivers a great customer experience requires a significant investment when you start to layer in complexities like batching, cross channel orchestration, and user preferences. Chris Bell of Knock joins the show to talk through how Knock can solve the challenges with building an in-house product notification system, and free up engineering time in the process.

CloudGraph with Tyson Kunovsky
The advent of the cloud introduced a new form of technical debt in which organizations can lose track of what infrastructure they have and how it relates to the business. While the cloud's native APIs offer some transparency into your infrastructure, these offerings are often described as necessary but not sufficient. When companies have a non-trivial question about their environments, getting answers can have a big cognitive overhead to get a clear answer. In this episode, I interview Tyson Kunovsky, Co-Founder and CEO at AutoCloud, creators of the open source project Cloud Graph. CloudGraph is a free and open source GraphQL API for AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes. CloudGraph provides a much more intuitive graphQL based interface to ask questions about your infrastructure in context of the relationships between components.

Technical Debt With Lee Atchison
Lee Atchison spent seven years at Amazon working in retail, software distribution and Amazon Web Services. He then moved to New Relic, where he spent eight years scaling the company's internal architecture. Lee has deep expertise in building and managing fast growing web applications, and he used this knowledge to write architecting for scale from O'Reilly. Technical debt is a common problem for engineering teams. Technical debt is additional long-term work required to evolve or maintain an application due to a short-term decision in designing or building that application. Too much technical debt can reduce product innovation and lead to lower employee retention. In this episode, we'll discuss all things technical debt based on Lee’s recent article, Technical Debt Will Sink You. Sponsorship inquiries: sponsor@softwareengineeringdaily.com

Data Delivery with Naqeeb Memon
Data-as-a-service is a company category type that is not as common as API-as-a-service, software-as-a-service, or platform-as-a-service. In order to vend data, a data-as-a-service provider needs to define how that data will be priced, stored, and delivered to users: streaming over an API or served via static files. Naqeeb Memon of Safegraph joins the show to talk through the mechanics of delivering data-as-a-service.

Pinot and StarTree with Chinmay Soman
Real-time analytics are difficult to achieve because large amounts of data must be integrated into a data set as that data streams in. As the world moved from batch analytics powered by Hadoop into a norm of “real-time” analytics, a variety of open source systems emerged. One of these was Apache Pinot. StarTree is a company based on Apache Pinot that provides fast, real-time data analytics. Chinmay Soman joins the show to discuss Apache Pinot in relation to other real-time analytics platforms, and what StarTree has built on top of Pinot.
