SHOW NOTES:
Topic 1 - Welcome to the show, Mark. Give everyone a quick introduction.
Topic 2 - Before we dig into the tech, let’s start with the problem. What problem were you seeing in software development that wasn’t being solved with IaaC, Platform Engineering, DevOps, etc.? Where does SDLC fit into this?
Topic 3 - Have microservices helped or hurt? We hear all the time about the loose coupling of microservices and benefits towards production, but doesn’t that also make it harder to develop? How do you recreate an environment where you are dependent on a bunch of microservices in a development pipeline?
Topic 4 - I get the feeling this is all about removing friction. But where and how? I see Kubernetes as a blessing and curse many times. It’s an awesome application platform, as long as you aren’t the one that has to do the care and feeding on it. Thoughts?
Topic 5 - The goal here I believe is a closed loop system that is beneficial for developers and SRE’s, but how do you balance closed loops vs. extensibility and abstraction of different platforms to the systems that are truly write once.
Topic 6 - How does the culture and relationships in the org have to change to meet the changes in the tech?
