Andy Brinkmeyer shares how engineering leaders and architects can use Rust to build failure-proof systems. Moving beyond memory safety, he explains how ownership, enums, and the typestate pattern embed complex runtime protocols into compile-time checks. Learn to eliminate entire classes of bugs, manage real-world resources safely, and maximize codebase robustness effortlessly.
Holly Cummins discusses why "nothing is new under the sun" in tech. She maps historical architectural tradeoffs to modern cloud, microservices, and AI hype cycles. She connects financial debt (post-ZIRP) and technical debt to epistemic and sleep debt, showing engineering leaders how to navigate shifts in assumptions, embrace sustainability, and revive proven engineering disciplines.
Itamar Friedman discusses how architects and engineering leaders can break through the AI productivity ceiling using adaptive multi-agent systems. He shares insights on moving past simple autocomplete to resilient workflows by integrating autonomous testing, intelligent code review, and robust arbitration. Learn how to govern agent communication and build a context-driven SDLC that scales.
In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods spoke to Gabriela Moreira about making formal methods accessible through the Quint specification language, how AI is dramatically lowering the barrier to entry for formal specification and model-based testing, and why defining correct system behaviour remains essential human work in an AI-driven world.
In this episode, Alex Zenla (CTO/Co-founder, Edera) challenges the "laissez-faire" attitude toward modern infrastructure. She promotes "spite-driven development", building software to solve genuine technical pain points rather than passively accepting flawed abstractions, as a philosophy of improving the world of software.
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.

About this Podcast
Interviews with the software architects and senior engineers who build and run production systems. Each episode works through the tradeoffs behind a real decision in architecture, AI engineering, and development.
In this podcast Wes talks to Guy Podjarny. They discuss the Equifax hack and the things we can learn from it, some of the security problems in serverless architectures, the kind of things attackers look for in serverless platforms, and wrap up with security hygiene best practices that developers should follow.
Today’s podcast is with Julien Viet, the project lead of Vert.x and a principal engineer at RedHat. He took over as project lead for Vert.x from Tim Fox in January 2016, and in this podcast we discuss the newly released Vert.x 3.5.0, and the plans for Vert.x 4.0.
This week’s podcast is with Emil Stolarsky and was recorded live after his talk on the subject at Strangeloop 2017. Interesting points from the podcast include several stories from Emil’s research, including the origin of the checklist, how Walmart pushed decision making down to the store level in a national disaster, and where the formalized conversation structure onboard aircraft originated.
In this podcast, recorded live at Strange Loop 2017, Wesley Reisz talks to Charity Majors, cofounder and CEO of honeycomb.io. They discuss the social side of debugging and her Strangeloop talk “Observability for Emerging Infra: What Got You Here Won't Get You There”. Other topics include advice for testing in production, shadowing and splitting traffic, and sampling and aggregation.
Shubha Nabar is a senior director of data science for Salesforce Einstein. In the podcast she discusses Salesforce Einstein and the problem space that they are trying to solve, explores the differences between enterprise and consumer for machine learning, and then talks about the Optimus Prime Scala library that they use in Salesforce.
Conversations on building intentional engineering culture: team dynamics, leadership, and software management. For engineering leaders, managers, and the developers they support.
In this podcast recorded at the Agile 2018 conference, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Simon Powers of Adventures with Agile about helping organisations move from siloed groups to large product teams. He gave advice for new managers and discussed the trends he sees happening in large organisations.
