Cloud-native Authorization with Tim Hinrichs

This episode is hosted by Alex DeBrie. Alex is the author of The DynamoDB Book, the comprehensive guide to data modeling with DynamoDB, as well as The DynamoDB Guide, a free guided introduction to DynamoDB. He runs a consulting company where he assists clients with DynamoDB data modeling, serverless architectures, and general AWS usage. You can find more of his work at alexdebrie.com. Nearly all new tech companies build in a public cloud and established companies are rapidly migrating to the cloud from their on-prem data centers. But this move to the cloud can lead to a visibility problem. Cloud Providers offer  not only Compute instances but also manage services like databases, blob storage, queues and more. It can be difficult for SRE teams and security departments to understand what is happening across a company’s cloud accounts. Yevgeny Pats is the creator of CloudQuery, an open source cloud asset inventory powered by SQL. CloudQuery allows you to ingest and structure the resources in your cloud accounts so that you can query them using SQL. This allows SRE teams to understand the source of specific resources while security teams can ensure compliance with policies.  In this episode we’ll discuss CloudQuery, Yevgeny’s entrepreneurial background and raising funding with an open source project Sponsorship inquiries: sponsor@softwareengineeringdaily.com.

When creating a website, there’s no shortage of choices for how to do it.  Builders must make strategic decisions about the language or framework they want to adopt.  An important first consideration for many is selecting a web application framework like React or Vue.  Motivated by a low page response time and good user experience, many developers want their site to be server-side rendered.  Nuxt.js is a free and open-source web application framework based on Vue.js which, among other benefits, brings server-side rendering to Vue.js developers. In this episode, I interview Alexander Lichter, founder of Development and Nuxt.js maintainer.  We discuss the features and Nuxt and what role it can play in your next web application.

By most accounts, the first databases came on line in the 1960s. This class of software has continued to evolve alongside the technology it runs on and the applications it supports. In the early days, databases were typically closed source commercial products. Today, databases run in the cloud on distributed systems. Increasingly, the leading tools are open source yet frequently supported by a related commercial entity offering managed services and white glove support. In this episode, we interview Jonathan Ellis, CTO of DataStax and Spencer Kimball, CEO of Cockroach Labs about the current state of distributed databases and the open source ecosystem.

ETL stands for “extract, transform, load” and refers to the process of integrating data from many different sources into one location, usually a data warehouse. This process has become especially important for companies as they use many different services to collect and manage data.  The company Grouparoo provides an open source framework that helps you move data between your data warehouse and all of your cloud-based tools. This process of moving data back from the data warehouse to the applications is called reverse ETL, and is important for things like marketing campaigns and customer service. It easily integrates with your developer’s tools and is free and easy to install. In this episode we talk with Brian Leonard, CEO at Grouparoo. This interview will also be published as a video episode on our YouTube channel.

In the late 1970s a printer at MIT kept jamming, resulting in regular pileups of print jobs in the printer’s queue. To solve this problem, some computer scientists wrote a software program that alerted every user in the backed up queue “The printer is jammed, please fix it.” When a man named Richard Stallmen was refused a copy of the program code, he resolved to create a publicly available operating system and the open source movement was born (opensource.com). Over 50 years later, open source has become a coding philosophy practiced by millions of software engineers around the world. Why is open source so popular? What difference has it really made in software engineering, and what major projects are open source? In this episode we talk to William Morgan, CEO at Buoyant and creator of the open source service mesh Linkerd.

The term “boilerplate code” refers to code sections that are repeated across many projects with little to no variation. Every developer is familiar with boilerplate code, whether it be pom.xml files in Java or setting up React.js applications, tweaking boilerplate code for every project is inevitable. Actually, the company Wasp believes writing boilerplate code doesn’t have to be a part of web app development. Wasp is an open-source, declarative DSL for developers who want modern frontend, backend, and deployment experiences without writing boilerplate code. With Wasp, you can describe high-level features with Wasp DSL and write the rest of your logic in React, Node.js, and Prisma. In this episode, we talk to Matija Sosic, CEO and Co-Founder at Wasp.

Wasp-Lang: Boilerplate Code with Matija Sosic

Many startups today begin their life as an open-source project. Open source projects allow early adopters of a technology to experiment, to contribute code and feedback, and to shape the evolution of the project in its early stages. When a “community maintainer” company emerges to provide service offerings based on that project, its early customer base often consists of contributors to the open source project who already have experience with the technology, but want a more fully featured offering.  Orbit is a “community experience platform” that provides insights on activity for open-source and proprietary products. Orbit is founded on the “Orbit Model,” which it describes as a “framework for building high-gravity communities”- that is, developer communities with passionate and engaged contributors. The Orbit Model is offered as an alternative to traditional sales and marketing funnels that gives a focus on cultivating early adopters for a project. Patrick Woods and Josh Dzielak are the co-founders of Orbit. They join the show today to talk about the importance of an active and passionate community for projects, how Orbit helps Maintainers grow and shape their users’ experiences, and how they see Orbit evolving in the future.

C# .NET is the framework that is most often used to write software for the Microsoft Windows operating system. For many years, the C# .NET framework was closed source, but Microsoft’s recent push towards open source has led to the creation of .NET Core, a fork of C# .NET composed of a small subset of features from the original C# .NET stack. This episode takes us through a history of .NET, with two program managers who have worked on .NET for many years–Immo Landwerth and Lee Coward. We also explored the present and future of .NET–discussing .NET Core and .NET usage on operating systems other than Microsoft Windows, which is another recent development.

Containers are widely used in projects that have adopted Docker, Kubernetes, or Mesos. Containers allow for better resource isolation and scalability. With all of the adoption of containers, companies like Red Hat, Google, and CoreOS are working on improved standards within the community. Standards are important to this community because of its pace of growth and the number of concurrent projects. If you heard our recent episode about the Linux Kernel’s open source governance, you know that having some rules in place will help encourage the right kind of creativity to thrive. In the world of containers, networking is not well addressed as it is highly environment specific. The Container Networking Interface is an effort to add specifications around how networks of containers can form.  Dan Williams is an engineer at Red Hat. In today’s episode, he explores the ideas behind the container networking interface, which gives insights into how the broader community of cloud native technologies is evolving as a whole.

Clojure is a dynamically typed functional language that runs on the JVM. Today’s guest Alex Miller gives us an overview of Clojure’s core functionality. Alex is a developer of Cognitect, and a founder of the the Strange Loop conference.     We discuss the data structures, garbage collection, and concurrency support. How does Clojure compare to other JVM languages like Scala and Groovy? How does Clojure copy immutable data structures without copying all of the data? How does a Clojure program get evaluated and converted to Java bytecode? These questions, and many others are discussed in this episode. The post Clojure with Alex Miller appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Akka is a toolkit for building concurrent, distributed, message-driven applications on the JVM. Akka provides an implementation of the actor model of concurrency, which simplifies concurrency by adding a lighter weight abstraction than threads and thread pools.  Konrad Malawski joins the show today to discuss Akka and reactive streams. Reactive streams is an initiative to provide a standard for asynchronous stream processing. This show goes deep into modern concurrent programming and is a great companion to some of the shows we have done about reactive programming.

Urbit is a completely new way of looking at computing. Every user gets a personal server, which runs your apps, wrangles your connected devices, and defines your secure identity. Your urbit presents your whole digital life as a single web service. Urbit feels foreign and confusing for those of us coming from the traditional web because the normal paradigm is to iterate and paper over the problems of the current platform with new things built on top. Curtis Yarvin, the creator of Urbit, argues that the current model is too fundamentally broken for that to work. As he says: “the Internet as a client-server network has won. The Internet as a peer-to-peer network has failed.” This sounds like yet another quirky, overambitious developer side project–but Urbit has serious legs. The github repo has had 51 committers over its four years of activity. Last year, a public crowdsale of Urbit address space raised more than $200,000. Peter Thiel was an early investor in the project, perhaps partly due to the combination of persistence, technical skill, and unusual opinions of Curtis Yarvin. In this episode, Curtis and Galen Wolfe-Pauly join me for a conversation about Urbit–its strange computing platform and the contrarian philosophies that drive its creators.

Flutter is a project from Google that is rebuilding user interface engineering from the ground up.  Today, most engineering teams have dedicated engineering resources for web, iOS, and Android. These different platforms have their own design constraints, their own toolset, and their own programming languages. But each platform is merely building a user interface. Why should development across these three user surfaces be so different? This was the question that Eric Seidel was asking himself three years ago, when he co-founded the Flutter project. The Flutter project had a few rough starts, as the team tried to figure out exactly what layer of abstraction they were trying to provide.  Around that time, ReactJS and React Native were growing in popularity. Seeing the React projects provided some data points, and some inspiration. But Flutter takes a lower level approach to cross platform app development, by presenting a rendering layer and a runtime API that are interfacing with the hardware in the same way that OpenGL does.  In today’s episode, Eric joins the show to explain how the Flutter project came to life, and his lessons from starting an ambitious project that took several years to pick up steam. I enjoyed this episode because Flutter could have massive improvements for how quickly we can build apps–and also because Eric is a serious engineer and there are so many insights in this episode about computer science, software engineering, and project management.

When a user makes a request to product like The New York Times, that request hits an API gateway. An API gateway is the entry point for an external request. An API gateway serves several purposes: authentication, security, routing, load balancing, and logging. API gateways have grown in popularity as applications have become more distributed, and companies offer a wider variety of services. If an API is public, and anyone can access it, you might need to apply rate limiting so that users cannot spam the API. If the API is private, the user needs to be authenticated before the request is fulfilled. Kong is a company that builds infrastructure for API management. The Kong API gateway is a widely used open source project, and Kong is a company built around supporting and building on top of the API gateway. Marco Palladino is the co-founder and CTO of Kong. He joins the show to tell the story of starting Kong eight years ago, and how the API gateway product evolved out of an API marketplace. Marco also discusses the architecture of Kong and his vision for how the product will develop in the future–including the Kong service mesh.

The container management system Kubernetes was open sourced by Google with the intention of creating a cloud service based on the project. Today, the Kubernetes ecosystem is looking similar to the Android ecosystem, with different vendors providing different ways to use Kubernetes, from RedHat’s OpenShift to Google Container Engine.   Craig Mcluckie was a member of the team who originally devised Kubernetes, and he joins the show to talk about the origins of Kubernetes and where the project is headed, exploring both the technical architecture and Google’s business strategy around Kubernetes.

Every program gets compiled down to 1s and 0s before it can be executed against hardware. Before being translated to machine code, programs that are written in a language like Rust, Swift, or Java spend time in an intermediate representation.  In Java, this intermediate representation is Java bytecode. Many different languages–such as Scala–translate to Java bytecode, because there has been lots of optimization written to speed up Java bytecode. Java bytecode runs on the JVM–the Java Virtual Machine. LLVM is a project that draws inspiration from the Java Virtual Machine. LLVM originally meant “low level virtual machine” but today it is just called LLVM and describes a set of compiler tools. In today’s interview with Morgan Wilde, we explore how compilers work, how different processor hardware architectures present a problem for compilers, and why LLVM’s intermediate representation creates a layer of interoperability for any language that compiles down to that intermediate representation. Whether you are new to compilers or have experience, this episode will appeal to you. Morgan is an excellent teacher and his enthusiasm for the subject comes through. He has a 30-minute YouTube video–A Brief Introduction to LLVM that I highly recommend. The post LLVM with Morgan Wilde appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Blogging is more than 20 years old. Over that period of time, numerous publishing platforms have been created. Squarespace, Blogger, Medium, and Twitter are popular closed source platforms. WordPress has been the most popular open source blogging platform–and much of the Internet (including Software Engineering Daily) runs on WordPress. WordPress is a powerful platform. News companies, ecommerce websites, and many other kinds of businesses use WordPress as their central publishing tool. But WordPress has been around for 15 years–and there are some potential conflicts of interest between WordPress the open source project and WordPress.com (a company started to host WordPress websites). John O’Nolan was working as a WordPress developer when he decided to start a new publishing platform called Ghost. Five years later, the Ghost project is a success–with a thriving open source community, a profitable SaaS business, and companies like Digital Ocean and Mozilla using Ghost to host their blogs. John and I discussed his background with WordPress, what he wanted to do differently with Ghost, and the software architecture of Ghost. We also touched on the Ghost SaaS business and the management of the open source project. The post Ghost: Open Source Publishing Platform with John O’Nolan appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

But WordPress has been around for 15 years–and there are some potential conflicts of interest between WordPress the open source project and <a href="http://WordPress.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">WordPress.com</a> (a company started to host WordPress websites). John O’Nolan was working as a WordPress developer when he decided to start a new publishing platform called Ghost. Five years later, the Ghost project is a success–with a thriving open source community, a profitable SaaS business, and companies like Digital Ocean and Mozilla using Ghost to host their blogs. John and I discussed his background with WordPress, what he wanted to do differently with Ghost, and the software architecture of Ghost. We also touched on the Ghost SaaS business and the management of the open source project.

Ghost: Open Source Publishing Platform with John O’Nolan

Jeff Bezanson

Jeff Bezanson’s university thesis described the motivation for a new programming language. He discussed the shortcomings of “array based programming environments” and his desire to create a more performant language with the best qualities of Lisp, Python, Ruby, Perl, Mathematica, R, and C. The Julia Language is a high performance language designed to suit technical users that crave the flexibility to pick their own notation. The language has support for a wide variety of operators, allowing scientists to create domain specific equations that can be elegantly expressed as code. Jeff Bezanson joins the show to discuss his motivations for Julia, and how the language has evolved since he started working on it.

Tom Occhino

Facebook’s open source projects include React, GraphQL, and Cassandra. These projects are key pieces of infrastructure used by thousands of developers–including engineers at Facebook itself.  These projects are able to gain traction because Facebook takes time to decouple the projects from their internal infrastructure and clean up the code before releasing them into the wild. Facebook has high standards for what they are willing to release. Tom Occhino manages the React team at Facebook and works closely with engineers to determine what projects make sense to open source. In this episode, Preethi Kasireddy interviews Tom about how Facebook thinks about open source–what went right with React, why it makes sense for Facebook to continue to release new open source projects, and how full-time employees at Facebook interact with that open source codebase. We would love to get your feedback on Software Engineering Daily. Please fill out the listener survey, available on softwareengineeringdaily.com/survey. Also–Software Engineering Daily is having our third Meetup, Wednesday May 3rd at Galvanize in San Francisco. The theme of this Meetup is Fraud and Risk in Software. We will have great food, engaging speakers, and a friendly, intellectual atmosphere. To find out more, go to softwareengineeringdaily.com/meetup.

Facebook Open Source with Tom Occhino

Dan Abramov

React is a set of open source tools for building user interfaces. React was open sourced by Facebook, and includes libraries for creating interfaces on the web (ReactJS) and on mobile devices (React Native). React was released during a time when there was not a dominant frontend JavaScript library. Backbone, Angular, and other JavaScript frameworks were all popular, but there was not any consolidation across the frontend web development community. Before React came out, frontend developers were fractured into different communities for the different JavaScript frameworks.  After Facebook open sourced React, web developers began to gravitate towards the framework for its one-way data flow and its unconventional style of putting JavaScript and HTML together in a format called JSX. As React has grown in popularity, the React ecosystem has developed network effects. In many cases, the easiest way to build a web application frontend is to compose together open source React components. After seeing the initial traction, Facebook invested heavily into React, creating entire teams within the company whose goal was to improve React. Dan Abramov works on the React team at Facebook and joins the show to talk about how the React project is managed and his vision for the project.   RECENT UPDATES: The FindCollabs Open has started. It is our second FindCollabs hackathon, and we are giving away $2500 in prizes. The prizes will be awarded in categories such as machine learning, business plan, music, visual art, and JavaScript. If one of those areas sounds interesting to you, check out findcollabs.com/open! The FindCollabs Podcast is out! We are booking sponsorships for Q3, find more details at https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/sponsor/ The post Facebook React with Dan Abramov appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Different browsers consume JavaScript in different ways.  When a new version of JavaScript comes out, developers are eager to use the new functionality of that language version. But if you are writing frontend JavaScript code, that code needs to be interpretable by every browser that might consume it–whether the consumer is on an iPhone running Safari or a Windows machine running Internet Explorer 11. Babel is a transpiler for JavaScript. Babel allows new versions of JavaScript to be consumed by older browsers by translating new language features of JavaScript into code that is readable by an older JavaScript interpreter. Babel does this by parsing JavaScript code, creating an abstract syntax tree, and manipulating the AST to make that code comply with the old browser. Henry Zhu is a core maintainer of Babel and a full-time open source developer. In today’s episode, Henry explains how Babel works and its various applications. He also talks about life as a full-time open source developer, where he earns a living through Patreon and OpenCollective. The post Babel with Henry Zhu appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Modern architectures often consist of containers that run services. Those containers scale up and down depending on the demand for the services. These large software systems often use a technique known as event sourcing, where every change to the system is kept in an event log. When an event on the log is processed, several different data stores might be updated in response. In these architectures, containers are interacting with each other. Multiple databases are responding to events in the event log. To connect these systems together, engineers can write small functions to pass data around–you might call these small connecting functions “glue.” Glue functions are a great use for a serverless tool such as AWS Lambda or Google Cloud Functions. As these glue functions grow in popularity, there is an increased need for an open source way to deploy serverless functions. Sebastien Goasgoen works on Kubeless, a serverless execution tool built on top of Kubernetes. In this episode, we explore his take on the “serverless on Kubernetes” problem. This is a great companion episode to yesterday’s interview with Soam Vasani. Software Engineering Daily is looking for sponsors for Q3. If your company has a product or service, or if you are hiring, Software Engineering Daily reaches 23,000 developers listening daily.
