DOP 267: To Fork or Not To Fork

DevOps Paradox

06/12/24 • 45 min

#267: In the fast-paced world of Kubernetes development, ensuring the reliability and effectiveness of applications is crucial. End-to-end testing plays a vital role in detecting bugs, ensuring proper functionality, and maintaining the overall quality of Kubernetes resources.

But what happens when existing testing tools fall short of meeting the evolving needs of developers and testers? This is what happened to the team working on Kyverno. They were using a tool but they ended up creating Chainsaw to solve their problem.

In this episode, we speak with Charles-Edouard Brétéché about the struggles the Kyverno team had with existing tools and what the team ended up doing to solve the problem.

DOP 289: When to Build Your Own vs. Using Off-the-Shelf

DevOps Paradox

11/13/24 • 45 min

#289: For startups, navigating the dilemma of cloud selection is critical. While major providers offer incentives and familiarity, stepping out of the conventional path to explore other providers or even setting up specialized solutions can lead to significant cost savings and tailor-made optimizations. The balance is in understanding when to scale with commercial offerings and when to embark on more customized, potentially costlier ventures.

In this episode, we talk with Hugo Santos, CEO at Namespace Labs, about how by optimizing for specific use cases, they have identified a niche where they can outperform hyperscalers. However, this path is complex and not always practical for every company, especially those lacking the necessary infrastructure expertise.

DOP 228: The Customer Is the True North Star

DevOps Paradox

09/13/23 • 49 min

#228: The Agile Manifesto is now more than 20 years old. However, even after all this time, instead of helping organizations create and deliver software faster to satisfy customer needs, many times Agile principles are turned into rigid processes that stifle innovation and limit customer satisfaction. Have far have we strayed from the core principles of the manifesto?

In this episode, we talk with Paul Stovell, CEO and founder of Octopus Deploy, about the realities of Agile in 2023. Also, find out about the backstory of how Paul was able to snag the octopus.com domain.

DOP 216: Simplify Microservice Development With Signadot

DevOps Paradox

06/21/23 • 44 min

#216: As your team continues down the microservices journey, at some point you’ve probably hit the wall on being able to test against the versions of the other services that you really need to test. You could spin up new hardware, but that becomes very inefficient and very costly very quickly.

Since you are running your production (and staging and QA) environments in Kubernetes, there has to be an easy way to do this type of testing.

In this episode, we speak with Arjun Iyer, CEO and Co-founder at Signadot, about how sandboxes within your Kubernetes clusters can help with your testing problem without breaking the bank.

DOP 174: Security Concerns in Low-Code and No-Code Applications

DevOps Paradox

08/31/22 • 29 min

#174: As more and more companies start to use low-code and no-code solutions within their organizations, how many of them are actually evaluating their security posture? Do these organizations not realize they are literally giving away the keys to their kingdoms to third party providers?

In this episode, we speak with Alon Jackson, CEO and Co-Founder at Astrix Security, about how these internally produced low-code and no-code applications present even further security risks due to the lack of professional security processes for these applications.

DOP 164: How To Monitor and Debug Microservices

DevOps Paradox

06/22/22 • 36 min

#164: When you create a monolithic application, it's usually not a huge deal to add in some form of monitoring to keep track of what is happening when. However, when you start writing numerous microservices, specifically functions as a service, the ability to simply and easily keep track of what is happening when is thrown out the window.

In this episode, we speak with Aviad Mor, CTO of Lumigo, about how to monitor large numbers of microservices and how to debug them when something goes wrong.
