There are countless real world scenarios where a workflow or process has multiple steps, and some steps must be completed before others can be started. Think of something as simple as cooking dinner. First you look up a recipe, then you write down the ingredients you need, you go shopping, and then you cook. These steps must be run in a certain order, and the state of the workflow must be tracked throughout. Workflow management is everywhere in the software world, and today it's common for teams to engineer custom solutions. This makes sense, because creating a general-purpose solution for workflow management is a hard conceptual problem, and perhaps an even harder engineering challenge. Maxim Fateev has a deep background engineering distributed systems and workflow management services at Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. In 2015, he joined Uber and helped create the open-source project, Cadence, which is an orchestration engine to execute asynchronous long-running business logic. The success of Cadence led Max to co-found Temporal, which is an open-source programming package for workflow execution. Max joins the show today to talk about the engineering challenges at Temporal, the concept of "durable execution”, how he organizes his engineering teams, and more.

Speech technology has been around for a long time, but in the last 12 months it’s undergone a quantum leap. New speech synthesis models are able to produce speech that's often indistinguishable from real speech. I'm sure many listeners have heard deep fakes where computer speech perfectly mimics the voice of famous actors or public figures. A major factor in driving the ongoing advances is generative AI. Speechlab is at the forefront of using new AI techniques for realtime dubbing, which is the process of converting speech from one language into another. For the interested listener, we recommend hearing the examples with President Obama speaking Spanish or Elon Musk speaking Japanese. Check out the show notes for a link to the video. Ivan Galea is the Co-founder and President at Speechlab and he joins the show to talk about how we're on the cusp of reaching the holy grail of speech technology - real time dubbing - and how this will erase barriers to communication and likely transform the world.

If you're a developer, there's a good chance you've experimented with coding assistants like GitHub Copilot. Many developers have even fully integrated these tools into their workflows. One way these tools accelerate development is by autocompleting entire blocks of code. The AI achieves this by having awareness of the surrounding code. It understands context. However, in many cases the context available to an AI is limited. This restricts the AI's ability to suggest more sweeping changes to a codebase, or even to refactor an entire application. Quinn Slack is the CEO of Sourcegraph. He is now hard at work on the challenge of giving more context to AI - to make it aware of entire codebases, dependencies, error logs, and other data. Quinn joins the show today to talk about what it takes to move beyond code autocomplete, how to develop the next generation of coding AI, and what the future looks like for software engineers and programming languages. Josh Goldberg is an independent full time open source developer in the TypeScript ecosystem.

Documentation is something that everyone knows is important but it's often difficult to get right. On software teams, good documentation can help to onboard new people, improve communication across teams, and troubleshoot technical issues. When an application, API, or library is a commercial product, the quality of its documentation can determine whether it attracts users and succeeds on the market. GitBook is a popular documentation platform built with TypeScript and Node. It's found particular use among software teams for creating technical documentation. Addison Schultz is the Developer Relations Lead at GitBook and he joins the show to talk about GitBook's development, software stack, and how it's adding new integrations for VS Code, Slack, and other tools. Full disclosure: GitBook is a sponsor of Software Engineering Daily.

Ongoing advances in generative AI are already having a huge impact on developer productivity. Tools like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT are increasing the velocity of code development, and more advances are on the horizon. However, an ever-growing challenge for developers is how to manage their coding resources – things like code snippets, website links, messages, and screenshots. This is hard for individual developers, but even harder for teams. Tsavo Knott is the Co-Founder and CEO of Pieces. Tsavo thinks deeply about developer productivity and he joins the podcast today to talk about how Pieces is using AI to automate the process of saving, curating, and iterating on coding resources for developers and teams.

The importance of data teams is undeniable. Most companies today use data to drive decision-making on anything from software feature development to product strategy, hiring and marketing. In some companies data is the product, which can make data teams even more vital. But there's a common problem - analyzing data is hard and time consuming. Lots of people have questions they want to answer with data, but data teams often don't have the resources to move quickly. This can create a pernicious effect where organizations stop asking questions about their own data. Amanda Kelly thinks a lot about data and the dynamics of data teams inside organizations. She's worked at Google X, and on self-driving cars and cybersecurity. Her experiences on data teams inspired her to co-found Streamlit, which is an open source Python library that gives primitives to assemble a data app for rapid data visualization and interaction. Her goal was to accelerate the iteration loop to go from a question to a data-driven answer. Amanda is currently the COO of Streamlit and a Product Director at Snowflake, and she joins us today to talk all about data and how she's building Streamlit.

Platform engineering is difficult to get right, and in the age of DevOps and cloud computing, software developers increasingly serve as platform engineers while they're building their applications. This can be an engineering challenge because organizations often require their platforms to provide fine-grained control and compliance management. Cory O'Daniel is the CEO and Co-Founder of Massdriver, which he started in 2021 with the goal of helping engineering and operations teams build internal developer platforms. Cory's company was in the 2022 Y Combinator class, and he has been hard at work developing his platform. He joins the show today to talk about how he thinks about platform engineering, and the challenge of abstracting away infrastructure. Sponsorship inquiries: [email protected]

Today it’s estimated there are over 1 billion websites on the internet. Much of this content is optimized to be viewed by human eyes, not consumed by machines. However, creating systems to automatically parse and structure the web greatly extends its utility, and paves the way for innovative solutions and applications. The industry of web scraping has emerged to do just that. However, many websites erect obstacles to hinder web scraping. This has created a new kind of arms race between developers and anti-scraping software. Bright Data has developed some of the most sophisticated consumer tools available to scrape public web data. Erez Naveh is an entrepreneur and former engineer at Meta. He is currently the VP of Product at Bright Data. Erez joins us in this episode to talk about Bright Data's mission to structure the open web, and the toolkit they've developed to make this possible. Sponsorship inquiries: [email protected]

If you're a developer, you've probably worked with an API, or application programming interface. An API is a set of rules for how to communicate with an applications or device. For example, when you build an app and want to use Stripe to handle payments, or use Slack to deliver notifications, it's APIs that make this possible. Handling communication between different applications was historically challenging, but with the growth of cloud computing and the need for smooth interoperability, APIs have become standard, and are now often considered essential to make a company accessible and visible. The growth of APIs is about to accelerate even more because of generative AI. The reason is that good APIs will be needed so AIs can write code to stitch together multiple systems. Postman is a popular application and platform for building and using APIs, and they recently released their 2023 State of the API Report. Joyce Lin is the Head of Developer Relations at Postman and she joins the show today to talk about the history of APIs, why APIs have exploded in popularity, and what the future looks like.

There are hundreds of observability companies out there, and many ways to think about observability, such as application performance monitoring, server monitoring, and tracing. In a production application, multiple tools are often needed to get proper visibility on the application. This creates some challenges. Applications can produce lots of different observatory observability data, but how should the data be routed to the various downstream tools? In addition, how can data be selectively sent to different storage tiers to minimize costs? Calyptia is a service that helps manage observability data from source to destination. Eduardo Silva is the founder and CEO of Calyptia and he joins us in this episode. Sponsorship inquiries: [email protected] Neo4j: Visit https://Neo4j.com/NODES.

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol, or HTTP, is used to load webpages using hypertext links, and it’s the foundation of the web. Tim Berners-Lee famously created HTTP version 0.9 in 1989, and defined the essential behavior of a client and a server. Version 1.0 was eventually finalized in 1996, and its secure variant called HTTPS is now used on more than 80% of websites. HTTP continues to undergo intense development and version 3 in now being actively adopted across the tech industry. Nick Shadrin is a Software Architect at NGINX, and Roman Arutyunyan is a Principal Software Engineer at NGINX. Nick and Roman are experts in HTTP and they join the show today to tell the history of its evolution since 1989, and how NGINX is implementing support for HTTP/3.

A platform as a service, or PaaS, is the concept of a complete development and deployment environment in the cloud. One of the best examples is Heroku, which was created in 2007 and later acquired by Salesforce. Although these services are great for helping startups get off the ground quickly, they can ultimately become a form of technical debt because of issues with cost, control, scale, and reliability. Today we're speaking with Brandon Bayer. Brandon is a licensed aircraft pilot, and he’s also the CEO of Flightcontrol, a platform as a service company that he co-founded. Flightcontrol is built on top of AWS, and allows users to deploy it on their own AWS infrastructure.

Picture a user interacting with a web app on their phone. When they tap the screen the app triggers communication with a server, which in turn communicates with a database. This process then happens in reverse to eventually update what the user sees on-screen. The latency for this round trip depends a lot on the physical distance between the user and the server. In a traditional web app, latency can be especially poor when the user and the server are separated by an ocean, and they must communicate through an underwater trans-oceanic link. However, with edge computing, multiple servers and data centers create a distributed system that greatly improves response times. Turso is an edge-hosted, distributed database based on libSQL, an open-source and open-contribution fork of SQLite. It was designed to minimize query latency for applications where queries come from anywhere in the world. Glauber Costa is the Founder and CEO of Turso and he joins us in this episode.

The state of Data inside most companies is chaotic. It takes significant time and investment to tame this chaos. When you are a platform provider you are gathering tons of data from the developers using your platform. These developers building products on your platform need insight into that data to better understand how their application is performing or to troubleshoot it. Most Platforms or SaaS application providers find it both difficult and expensive to build customer-facing analytics and data applications into their platforms. In fact most companies don’t know what to do with the data they are gathering and continually postpone future product roadmap features aimed to unlock this data. This data can be a crucial part of the developer experience and can empower your customers. It can save you countless hours of handling support tickets, and increase overall stickiness on the platform. Propel is a GraphQL API platform ideal for powering customer-facing analytics use cases, from customer dashboards and analytics APIs to product usage or in-product metrics. Tyler Wells is Co-founder and CTO at Propel and he joins us today. We discuss how the customer-centric experiences at Twilio lead his team to the journey they are on today.

CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) is a new technology that can improve startup and warmup times by orders of magnitude. It is a project of OpenJDK that was proposed and led by Azul. The CRaC Project defines public Java APIs that allow for the coordination of resources during checkpoint and restore operations. With CRaC, a checkpoint can be set at any point where an application can be safely paused. Azul is releasing a reference implementation of CRaC in JDK 17 with the Azul Zulu Build of OpenJDK for x86 64-bit Linux update. CRaC allows for an "instant" start at any point in the application lifecycle at an optimal speed. ​It also work's really well with Azul's ReadyNow! feature that optimizes warm-up. For the first time, developers will have a TCK-tested, CRaC-configured, production-ready JVM with commercial support available for their use. Gerrit Grunwald is a Java Champion & Principle Engineer at Azul and he joins us in this episode.
