Observability Using Honeycomb.io with Christine Yen
It does not matter if it runs on your machine. Your code must run in the production environment and it must do so performantly. For that, you need tooling to better understand your application's behavior under different circumstances. In the earliest days of software development, all we had were logs, which are still around and incredibly useful. You’re likely to also consider Application Performance Monitoring tools or APM. Observability is an evolving and important feature of any software system. In this episode, we interview Christine Yen, co-founder, and CEO of Honeycomb.io. We talk about getting her start in software, meeting her co-founder while working at Parse, and how some of the experiences shared there shaped their vision for an idealized tool for figuring out what’s happening with your system.

The Future of Quality Engineering with Liliya Frye
It wasn’t that long ago that companies scheduled downtime in order to release an updated version of the software running their website. That’s rare today. Most developers want continuous testing, integration, and deployment. While that comes with many benefits, it also places greater demands on quality engineers who can no longer gate all updates into a single infrequency release. Liliya Frye is the Director of QA Engineering at LeagueApps, a provider of Sports League & Team Management Software. In this episode, we discuss Liliya’s experiences and modern practices for successful enterprise strategies. Sponsorship inquiries: sponsor@softwareengineeringdaily.com

Enterprise React Apps with Paige Niedringhaus
The React Framework has seen continuous growth of adoption since its launch. There are many reasons for that, but one reason is how relatively painless it is to use `react-create-app` or copy some boilerplate code and have a functioning, hot reloading, live demo up and running in minutes. There is, however, a long way to do between proof of concept and enterprise app. Paige Niedringhaus is a software engineer and creator of The Newline Guide to Modernizing an Enterprise React App. In this episode, we discuss best practices and strategies for structuring your React project..

Datadog with Omri Sass and Hugo Kaczmarek
Modern business applications are complex. It's not enough to have raw logs or some basic telemetry. Today's enterprise organizations require an application performance monitoring solution or APM. Today's applications are complex distributed systems whose performance depends on a wide variety of factors. Every single line of code can affect production and teams need insights into the health of the system and how to improve them. In this episode, I interview Omri Sass and Hugo Kaczmarek from Datadog, a provider of cloud monitoring as a service. We discuss the APM space and the challenges faced by modern enterprise teams. We also get into some detail about their new live search option and why that solution was an important addition to their product suite.

NBSafety for Jupyter Notebooks with Stephen Macke
The notebook paradigm of coding is relatively new in comparison to REPLs and IDEs. Notebooks run in your browser and give you discrete cells for running segments of code. All the code in a single cell runs at once, but cells run independently. Cells can be re-run, which is a blessing and a curse. The ability to run cells out of order can make it difficult for users to have a clear understanding of what else they might want to re-compute. The NB Safety project is an easy-to-install tool for automated management of notebook states which can help you catch bugs early. Stephen Mackey is a Ph.D. student in the Data and Information Systems laboratory at UIUC. In this episode, we discuss Jupyter Notebooks, the development of a custom kernel, and how NB Safety can help notebook users. Sponsorship inquiries: sponsor@softwareengineeringdaily.com

No Code AI for Video Analytics with Alex Thiele
Imagine a world where you own some sort of building whether that’s a grocery store, a restaurant, a factory... and you want to know how many people reside in each section of the store, or maybe how long did the average person wait to be seated or how long did it take the average factory worker to complete their assembly task. Currently today these systems today are either not using AI and instead use a mix of sensors and buttons to track certain actions or they do use AI but in a way that’s highly specific to their use case and hard to easily modify for new use cases that come down the line. This is where BrainFrame comes in. BrainFrame is a tool that connects to all your on-prem cameras and lets you easily leverage AI models and business logic. Alex Thiele is the CTO of Aotu the company that makes BrainFrame and he joins me today to talk about BrainFrame and the vision for a future where computer vision can be run by anyone.

The Future of Gig Work on with Adam Jackson
The gig economy involves independent contractors engaging in flexible jobs. Today gig workers often get work from centralized platforms that facilitate the process of connecting workers with employers in exchange for a fee. Some workers find the relationship between worker and platform to be adversarial in nature since the platform can establish and enforce rules at its own discretion. In this episode, I interview Adam Jackson, Founder & CEO of Freelance Labs, builders of Braintrust. We discuss the state of the gig economy and his vision for how Braintrust can create a new kind of marketplace. Sponsorship inquiries: sponsor@softwareengineeringdaily.com

Developer Relations at Google with Luke Mahe
The last 15 years have seen the emergence of cloud-based developer APIs and services as dominant components of the developer toolchain. As a result, there has never been more power at developers’ fingertips. But making that power usable and accessible is a challenge that is shared between the providers and the consumers of these services. Google’s Developer Relations team has spent the past 15 years bridging the gap between Google’s internal engineering teams and the broader developer community that consumes their APIs and services. Luke Mahé is a long-time engineering manager at Google DevRel. We talk about the history of Google’s developer offering and the critical role DevRel plays in shaping and promoting that offering. This episode is hosted by Yaniv Bernstein. Yaniv Bernstein was until recently COO of Airtasker and is now a startup coach, adviser, and public speaker.

Infrastructure as Code with Christian Tragesser
Infrastructure as Code is an approach to machine provisioning and setup in which a programmer describes the underlying services they need for their projects. However, this infrastructure code doesn’t compile a binary artifact like traditional source code. The successful completion of running the code signals that the servers and other components described in the configuration file have been created automatically by the tools being used. In this episode, I speak with Christian Tragesser, DevOps Consultant with World Wide Technology. We discuss the tools and processes that are helping modern development groups solve technical problems. Sponsorship inquiries: sponsor@softwareengineeringdaily.com

React Final Form with Erik Rasmussen
As our guest today points out, most enterprise software applications are essentially forms for collecting data. The <FORM> tag and related components started appearing in HTML fairly early and those same concepts are still in use with modern web browsers. However, the technology for capturing state, validating input, and providing other common services for the management of form data has continued to evolve in many languages and frameworks. Erik Rasmussen is the author of many popular open-source libraries including Redux Form and React Final Form. In this interview, we discuss the need for those tools to fill in the market and some of the modern approaches for form state management.
