No interview this week! Instead, Justin & Autumn sit down to talk about what they've been learning recently.

Maybe Jira for your kids' chores is a good idea... Probably not.

From switching ISPs to migrating Amazon off Oracle, Pete Naylor knows which database to use.

Adam Jacob remains optimistic about the future for infrastructure and is building new ideas to make it better.

Lili Cosic's experience at different companies & communities has given her insights into what's important & when to adapt to learn new (or old) things.

Dave Eddy has learned systems programming the traditional way with books and man pages. Now he's sharing what he's learned, starting with bash.

The ability to learn on the job has been a critical skill for David Beale throughout his career. Is the job market not allowing that anymore?

uBlue is trying to build the world's best Linux experience for developers and gamers. Jorge Castro joins Justin & Autumn to tell us how it's going.

David Flanagan created a successful YouTube channel but knew to take things to the next level he'd need to own more of the stack.

Du'An Lightfoot, dev advocate at AWS, joins Justin & Autumn to discuss networking, a knowledge gap people many people have. You can ignore the things you don't understand or you can invest time to learn it.

What if your infrastructure diagram was responsible for the actual infrastructure?! John Watson & Scott Prutton from System Initiative join Justin & Autumn to discuss.

Silvia Botros joins Justin & Autumn for a phenomenal conversation about databases, her career path & the ins/outs of writing _High Performance MySQL_.

Justin & Autumn are joined by Steven Wu from Scanner. Scanner built logging infrastructure focused on security teams and occasional querying. We dive deep into how architectural decisions affect your business.

Tim Banks joins Justin and Autumn — there's nothing quite like being punched in the face by Zookeeper or being taken down by a "hot" shard.

Deploying new applications can be tough. Deploying configuration management safely at scale with stores around the world is different. Martin Jackson joins us to discuss.

Michael Gat joins us for a look back on mainframes & why sometimes deploying on a Friday IS the right thing to do.

GitLab has changed a lot over the past 8 years and so has Abubakar. Starting in the help desk he's seen a lot and takes us through GitLab's and his progression.

Git was designed to be distributed but there is a lot of gravity around GitHub. What does the model look like for a business that encourages you to run your own git server and what does the backend for gitea.com look like?

Gareth Greenaway from the Salt project joins us for a trip down memory lane with configuration management and why open source projects have changed over the past decade.

Bailey Hayes & Taylor Thomas from Cosmonic join the show for a look at WebAssembly Standard Interfaces (WASI) and trade-offs for portable interfaces.

Devyn Cairns & Jakub Žádník join Justin & Autumn to talk about building a new kind of cross-platform shell that provides easy extensions with traditional command compatibility. That's no easy feat!

Render founder/CEO Anurag Goel joins us for a look behind their platform. An application native hosting option that hides the lower levels still requires a LOT of infrastructure.

Gina Häußge is here to tell us about the infra behind the OctoPrint project, which tests and releases new versions that work on multiple different printers and gets deployed hundreds of thousands of times.

Jon "gzip enthusiast" Johnson joins us for a history lesson on compression & how it impacts everything from containers to Alpine.

Andrew Atkinson joins Autumn & Justin to tell them why folks should (and are) picking PostgreSQL as their database in 2024 and how to scale it.

All of the health anxiety of early internet adopters traced back to WebMD's self diagnosis. Some sysadmin's on-call nightmares came from a different part of the site.

Anita Zhang is here to tell us how Meta manages millions of bare metal Linux hosts and containers. We also discuss the Twine white paper and how AI is changing their requirements.

In this episode Justin and Autumn are joined by Mandi Walls to take you back to a time before the cloud. Before Kubernetes. When a/s/l was common and servers were made of metal. Back to the days of AOL to discuss how chat rooms worked.

Paul Frazee joins the show to tell us all about how Bluesky builds, tests, and deploys mobile and web applications from the same code base.

Justin & Autumn take you with them to the 2024 SoCal Linux Expo where they asked six fellow attendees about their favorite open source projects and their least favorite commands.

What's the difference between productivity engineering and platform engineering? How can you continue to re-platform with a moving target? On this episode, we're joined by Andy Glover, who spent ten years productivity engineering at Netflix, to discuss.

Kyle Quest joins the show to tell Autumn & Justin all about the evolution of DockerSlim & minimal container images. Why are small container images important? What are different strategies to make containers smaller? Let's find out!

Autumn and Justin are joined by Chris Swan to discuss tech industry trends like AI and sustainability, gamifying the software development process and motivating devs to write more secure code, OpenSSF Scorecards and how they offer a way to measure and improve the security and compliance of GitHub repos, the scoring system, and the security posture of a repository.

Wanny Morellato & Deepak Mohandas from Kong join Justin & Autumn to discuss building, testing & running a load balancer that can run anywhere.

What do you do when your infrastructure runs 1000 miles away and you only have access every 90 minutes? Find out from Andrew Guenther from Orbital Sidekick.

We're back! Jason Hall joins the show to tell Justin & Autumn all about how Chainguard builds hundreds of containers without a single Dockerfile.

This is our 9th Kaizen with Adam & Jerod. We start today's conversation with the most important thing: embracing change. For Gerhard, this means putting Ship It on hold after this episode. It also means making more time to experiment, maybe try a few of those small bets that we recently talked about with Daniel. Kaizen will continue, we are thinking on the Changelog. Stick around to hear the rest.

Tim McNamara is known as New Zealand's Rust guy. He is the author of Rust in Action, and also a Senior Software Engineer at AWS, where he helps other builders with all things Rust. The main reason why Gerhard is intrigued by Rust is the incredible resource frugality. Fewer CPUs means less energy used, which is good for the planet, and good for the monthly bill. This becomes most noticeable at Amazon's scale, when S3, Lambda, CloudFront and other services start adding Rust components.

In our ops & infra world, we learn to optimise for redundancy, for mean time to recovery and for graceful degradation. We instinctively recognise single points of failure, and try to mitigate the risks associated with them. For some years now, Daniel Vassallo has been doing the same, but in the context of life & work. Daniel talks about the role of randomness, about learning from small wins & about optimising for a lifestyle that matches your true preferences,. Apparently, ideas too should be treated like cattle, not pets.

Last September, at the 🇨🇭 Swiss Cloud Native Day, Florian Forster, co-founder & CEO of ZITADEL, talked about why they switched to serverless containers. ZITADEL has a really interesting workload that is both CPU intensive and latency sensitive. On top of this, their users are global, and traffic is bursty. Florian talks about how they evaluated AWS, GCP & Azure before they settled on the platform that met their requirements.

Lars is big on Elixir. Think apps that scale really well, tend to be monolithic, and have one of the most mature deployment models: self-contained releases & built-in hot code reloading. In episode 7, Gerhard talked to Lars about "Why Kubernetes". There is a follow-up YouTube stream that showed how to automate deploys for an Elixir app using K3s & ArgoCD. More than a year later, how does Lars think about running applications in production? What does simple & straightforward mean to him? Gerhard's favourite: what is "human scale deployments"?

Marcos Nils has been into platform engineering for the best part of the last decade. He helped architect & build developer platforms using VMs & OpenStack, containers with Docker, and even Kubernetes. He did this at startups with 10 people, as well as large, publicly traded companies with 1000+ software engineers. Today we talk with Marcos about the hard parts of platform engineering.

Welcome to 2023! A new year is the perfect time to start with a fresh perspective. Given a few bare metal hosts with fast, local storage, how would you run your workloads on them? Would you cluster them for redundancy? What operating system would you choose? Steve Francis, CEO at Sidero Labs and Andrew Rynhard, CTO at Sidero Labs join us today to talk about running Talos Linux on bare metal.

Eight months ago, in 🎧 episode 49, Alex Sims (Solutions Architect & Senior Software Engineer at James & James) shared with us his ambition to help migrate a monolithic PHP app running on AWS EC2 to a more modern architecture. The idea was some serverless, some EKS, and many incremental improvements. So how did all of this work out in practice? How did the improved system cope with the Black Friday peak, as well as all the following Christmas orders? Thank you Alex for sharing with us your Ship It! inspired Kaizen story. It's a wonderful Christmas present! 🎄🎁

Narayanan Raghavan leads the global SRE organization that runs Red Hat managed cloud services including OpenShift Dedicated, Azure Red Hat Openshift, Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS, and Red Hat OpenShift Data Science among others across the three major cloud providers: AWS, GCP & Azure. We start with a high-level discussion about DevOps, SRE & platform engineering, and then we dig into SRE specifics, including what it takes to safely roll out updates across many tens of thousands of OpenShift clusters.

In today's episode, we have the pleasure of two guests: Whitney Lee, Staff Technical Advocate at VMware, the one behind the ⚡️ Enlightning episodes, and Mauricio Salatino, which you already know from 🎧 shipit.show/41 on Continuous Delivery for Kubernetes. The two of them gave the most amazing KubeCon NA Keynote last month: What a RUSH! Let's Deploy Straight to Production! So how do we create an Internal Development Platform that enables anyone on the team to deploy straight to production with the confidence that everything will just work?

For our last 2022 Kaizen episode, we went all out: - 💪 @jerod outdid himself in the number of improvements shipped between Kaizens - 🕺 A few of our listeners contributed → prompted us to create a new contributing guide - 🗺 We now have a new infrastructure diagram All of this, and a whole lot more, is captured as GitHub discussion 🐙 changelog.com#433. If you want to see everything that we improved, that is a great companion to this episode.
