    Mastering Microservices and Breaking Up the Monolith

    Mastering Microservices and Breaking Up the Monolith

    Back in the 2000s, code lived in one execution thread. Database queries, user interactions, and data pipelines were all managed by the same processes. 


    The problem? Everything was interconnected and interdependent. Fixing one thing might break another. Releases were all or nothing.


    We call this monolith hell. Your ticket out? Microservices.


    In this episode, we explain the problem with monoliths, the benefits of microservices, and risks to consider. And to make it extra fun, we’re doing it game show style. You’ll learn the pros and cons of different architecture approaches with analogies to help the information stick.


    Join us as we discuss:
    01:30 The problem with monolithic architecture
    05:10 Deploying microservices independently
    05:40 Sauce Orchestrate and Docker
    06:50 Managing communication between applications
    07:35 Avoiding conflicts using microservices
    10:00 Service mesh design pattern
    11:00 Drawbacks of microservices

    Are We in an AI Information Bubble?

    Are we in an AI bubble?
    We can't stop talking about AI in tech. It's at every conference and in every startup pitch. But is the rest of the world as enamored as we are?
    In this conversation, we explore AI’s impact beyond the echo chamber of the tech industry. We look at attitudes toward AI in other spaces, from healthcare to finance, weighing the risks and benefits of its application. We also look to the future, questioning whether we’ve reached the limits of AI given compute power constraints.
