RudderStack Engineering with Soumaydeb Mitra
Customer data pipelines power the backend of many successful web platforms. In a customer data pipeline, data is collected from sources such as mobile apps and cloud SaaS tools, transformed and munged using data engineering, stored in data warehouses, and piped to analytics, advertising platforms, and data infrastructure. RudderStack is an open source customer data pipeline system that pulls together this disparate functionality. In a previous episode, we covered the basics of RudderStack. In today’s show, we dive deeper into the engineering of RudderStack with returning guest CEO Soumyadeb Mitra.

Nodeless Kubernetes with Madhuri Yechuri
Managing Kubernetes nodes leads to operational complexity, security issues, and nodes that are perhaps more expensive to run than necessary. Deferring the node management to an underlying platform abstracts away these problems and can improve operations. Madhuri Yechuri runs Elotl, a nodeless Kubernetes platform. She joins the show to talk about the architecture and purpose of her company.

Retool Engineering with Snir Kodesh
Retool is a company that allows customers to build complex internal tools using a high level GUI. Users configure the relationships between these different tools, giving them the ability to build applications even without much background in engineering. Of course, having some engineering expertise helps, as users can write JavaScript to interact with the higher level components. Snir Kodesh is the head of engineering at Retool, and he previously worked at Lyft as a director of engineering. He joins the show to talk about his work at Retool, how it compares to Lyft engineering, and the lower level challenges of building the platform.

Software Supply Chain with Barak Schoster
The software supply chain consists of packages, imports, dependencies, containers, and APIs. These different components each have unique security risks. To ensure the security of their software supply chain, many developers use tools to analyze and scan their infrastructure for vulnerabilities. Barak Schoster works at Bridgecrew, a DevSecOps cloud security platform. He joins the show to talk about the risks of the modern software supply chain and what his company does to alleviate it.

Apache Hudi with Vinoth Chandar
The data lake architecture has become broadly adopted in a relatively short period of time. In a nutshell, that means data in it’s raw format stored in cloud object storage. Modern software and data engineers have no shortage of options for accessing their data lake, but that list shrinks quickly if you care about features like transactions. Apache Hudi is a platform for building streaming data lakes that is optimized for lake engines and batch processing. In this episode, I interview Vinoth Chandar, creator of the Hudi Project and Founder and CEO at Onehouse.

Video Search with Mokshith Voodarla
Automating video search requires a data pipeline that extracts metadata from videos and allows users to annotate the video with information that correlates with that metadata. The video needs to be segmented into intervals that define the search space, and the search space needs to be queryable by a user. Sieve Data is an automated video search platform that enables developers to add video search and analytics to internal tools and applications. Mokshith Voodarla is the CEO of Sieve Data and joins the show to talk about video search and what he and his team have built.

Taloflow with LV Jadavji
Increasingly, technology groups need to be strategic about the cloud services they adopt to ensure their vendor’s pricing is both fair and measured exactly right for the application’s unique access pattern. Definitely answering questions like these can take a significant amount of time and energy from your most valuable engineers. Taloflow is a company trying to make this decision making process easier for object storage and cloud cost management. In this episode, I interview LV Jadavji about the key questions companies are asking and how Taloflow helps people navigate them.

Data Catalog in Practice with Mark Grover
A data catalog provides an index into the data sets and schemas of a company. Data teams are growing in size, and more companies than ever have a data team, so the market for data catalog is larger than ever. Amundsen is a data catalog that came out of Lyft. We have previously explored the basics of Amundsen. In today’s episode, Mark Grover returns to the show to talk about the art and science of data catalogs.

The Staging Dichotomy with Senthil Padmanabhan
Serious software projects require several environments. Your production environment is obviously mission critical. A staging environment is also necessary to perform validation and regression testing before taking the risk of pushing an update to production. Best practices and approaches for managing these and other environments vary from organization to organization. In some sense, different software systems should be expected to have unique needs. Yet certain commonalities and wisdom can be gained from observing high scale success stories. In this episode, I interview Senthil Padmanabhan about how eBay turned around an impeding staging environment into its biggest asset for developer productivity.

Hex Collaborative Data Workspace with Barry McCardel and Caitlin Colgrove
In contrast to other IDEs, the notebook interface offers software developers a unique environment idealized for data professionals. Despite the growth in popularity, a surprising learning curve still exists for setup and configuration. A siloed notebook offers no native collaboration tools. While one can connect to a SQL database programmatically, if you’re looking for an ideal ergonomic environment for some heavy duty SQL queries, many developers seek an external tool for that job. In this episode, Kyle interviews Barry McCardel and Caitlin Colgrove from Hex. Hex is a collaborative data workspace that makes it easy to go from idea to analysis to sharing. We talk about Hex’s offering and the evolving space of notebook solutions for going beyond some of the issues noted above.

Data Quality Using Anomalo with Jeremy Stanley
When writing code, test driven development is a common accepted methodology to ensure the development of high quality software. Your organization’s data, on the other hand, is an entirely different challenge. Data can be missing due to human error, a failure with a 3rd party provider, a botched release, or dozens of other issues. When not missing, data can still become corrupted or start exhibiting a trend in the wrong direction that isn’t obvious to notice. Anomalo is a complete data quality platform. It can monitor your enterprise data and alert you to problems that are automatically detected. In this episode, I interview Jeremy Stanley about the ways in which teams are using the platform to monitor and improve their data quality.

Micro-Frontends with Luca Mezzalira
When you visit a web page, the creator’s intent is to present you a seamless experience that fills your browser window. That web page or web application is generally divided up in some meaningful way across navigation elements, content, ads, header, footer, and other components. Those components may represent the work of independent teams. Typically a web app is built in a single code base, pulling all those components into a monolithic software application. For backend software development, these monoliths are often split up in a refactoring towards microservice architecture. In this episode, I interview Luca Mezzalira, author of Building Micro-Frontends.

Architecting for Scale with Lee Atchison
Lee Atchison spent seven years at Amazon working in retail, software distribution, and Amazon Web Services. He then moved to New Relic, where he has spent four years scaling the company’s internal architecture. From his decade of experience at fast-growing web technology companies, Lee has written the book Architecting for Scale, from O’Reilly. As an application scales, it becomes significantly more complicated while at the same time receiving more traffic. The intersection of these two problems leads to a variety of discussions around availability, risk management, and microservices.
