InfoQ's podcasts are interviews with the software architects, senior engineers, and team leaders who build and operate production systems. Episodes work through the tradeoffs behind real decisions in software architecture, AI and ML engineering, and engineering culture. Guests are practitioners and QCon speakers describing what worked and what broke in systems they built.
