Troubleshooting Microservices with Julia Blase

A distributed system is a network of independent services that work together to achieve a common goal. Unlike a monolithic system, a distributed system has no central point of control, meaning it must handle challenges like data consistency, network latency, and system failures.
Debugging distributed systems is conventionally considered challenging because modern architectures consist of numerous microservices communicating across networks, making failures difficult to isolate. The challenges and maintenance burdens can magnify as systems grow in size and complexity.
Julia Blase is a Product Manager at Chronosphere where she works on features to help developers troubleshoot distributed systems more efficiently, including Differential Diagnosis, or DDx. DDx provides tooling to troubleshoot distributed systems, and emphasizes automation and developer experience. In this episode Julia joins Sean Falconer to talk about the challenges and emerging strategies to troubleshoot distributed systems.
Full Disclosure: This episode is sponsored by Chronosphere.
Sean’s been an academic, startup founder, and Googler. He has published works covering a wide range of topics from AI to quantum computing. Currently, Sean is an AI Entrepreneur in Residence at Confluent where he works on AI strategy and thought leadership. You can connect with Sean on LinkedIn.

Vercel’s Developer Frameworks with Ary Khandelwal and Max Leiter
The availability of high-quality AI model APIs has drastically lowered the barriers developing AI applications. These tools abstract away complex tasks such as model deployment, scaling, data retrieval, natural language processing, and text generation.
Vercel has developed a complementary set of tools for building AI web applications, including their AI SDK, v0, and the shadcn/ui component framework.
Ary Khandelwal and Max Leiter are on the AI team at Vercel. In this episode they join Kevin Ball to talk about the AI SDK, v0, shadcn/ui and the AI tooling ecosystem at Vercel.
Kevin Ball or KBall, is the vice president of engineering at Mento and an independent coach for engineers and engineering leaders. He co-founded and served as CTO for two companies, founded the San Diego JavaScript meetup, and organizes the AI inaction discussion group through Latent Space.
