Microservices route requests between each other. As the underlying infrastructure changes, this routing becomes more complex and dynamic. The interaction patterns across this infrastructure requires operators to create rules around traffic management. Tobias Kunze Briseno is the founder of Glasnostic, a system for ensuring resilience of microservice applications. Tobias joins the show to talk about The post Microservice Routing with Tobias Kunze Briseño appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Netlify is a cloud provider for JAMStack applications. To make those applications more performant, Netlify has built out capacity for edge computing–specifically “edge handlers”. Edge handlers can be used for a variety of use cases that need lower latency or other edge computing functionality. Matt Biilmann Christensen is the CEO of Netlify and joins the The post Edge Handlers with Mathias Biilmann Christensen appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Containers and virtual machines are two ways of running virtualized infrastructure. Containers use less resources than VMs, and typically use the runc open source container runtime. Sysbox is a containerization runtime that offers an alternative to runc, and allows for the deployment of Docker or Kubernetes within a container. Cesar Talledo is the founder of The post Sysbox: Containerization Runtime with Cesar Talledo appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Development environments are brittle and hard to manage. They lack the kind of fungibility afforded by infrastructure-as-code. Gitpod is a company that allows developers to describe development environments as code to make them easier to work with, and enabling a more streamlined GitOps workflow. Johannes Landgraf and Sven Efftinge are creators of Gitpod and they The post Gitpod: Cloud Development Environments with Johannes Landgraf and Sven Efftinge appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Ray is a general purpose distributed computing framework. Ray is used for reinforcement learning and other compute intensive tasks. It was developed at the Berkeley RISELab, a research and development lab with an emphasis on practical applications. Ion Stoica is a professor at Berkeley, and he joins the show to talk about the present and The post Ray Ecosystem with Ion Stoica appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

A private network connects servers, computers, and cloud instances. These networked objects are often separated by firewalls and subnets that create latency and complication. David Crawshaw is the CTO of Tailscale, a company that works to make private networks easier to build and simpler to configure and maintain. David joins the show to talk about The post Tailscale: Private Networks with David Crawshaw appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Every software company works off of several different development environments–at the very least there is staging, testing, and production. Every push to staging can be spun up as an application to be explored, tinkered with, and tested. These ad hoc spin-ups are known as release apps. A release app is an environment for engineers to The post Release Apps with Tommy McClung appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Across a company, there is a wide range of resources that employees need access to. Documents, S3 buckets, git repositories, and many others. As access to resources changes across the organization, a history of the changes to permissions can be useful for compliance and monitoring. Indent is a system for simplifying access management across infrastructure. The post Access Control Management with Fouad Matin and Dan Gillespie appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Managing microservices becomes a challenge as the number of services within the organization grows. With that many services comes more interdependencies–downstream and upstream services that may be impacted by an update to your service.  One solution to this problem: a dashboard and newsfeed system that lets you see into the health and changes across your The post Cortex: Microservices Management with Anish Dhar and Ganesh Datta appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

GitHub has been a social network for developers for many years. Most social networks are centered around mobile applications, but GitHub sits squarely in a developer’s browser-based desktop workflow. As a result, the design of a mobile app for GitHub is less straightforward. GitHub did acquire a popular mobile client called GitHawk, which was developed The post GitHub Mobile with Brian Lovin and Ryan Nystrom appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

A service mesh provides routing, load balancing, policy management, and other features to a set of services that need to communicate with each other. The mesh can simplify operations across these different services by providing an interface to configure them.  There are lots of different vendors who offer service mesh technology: AWS has AppMesh, Google The post Multimesh with Luke Kysow appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

AWS has over 150 different services. Databases, log management, edge computing, and lots of others. Instead of being overwhelmed by all of these products, an engineering team can simplify their workflow by focusing on a small subset of AWS services–the defaults.

Kubernetes continues to mature as a platform for infrastructure management. At this point, many companies have well-developed workflows and deployment patterns for working with applications built on Kubernetes. The complexity of some of these deployments may be daunting, and when a new employee joins a company, that employee needs to get quickly onboarded with the The post Tilt: Kubernetes Tooling with Dan Bentley appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.
