  1. IBM i DevOps TechTalk #27 - Platform Engineering

    29 ЯНВ.

    IBM i DevOps TechTalk #27 - Platform Engineering

    In this episode, Ray Bernardi welcomes Alan Ashley to explain why platform engineering is becoming the next step after DevOps: creating an internal developer platform (IDP) that standardizes tools, environments, and “paved paths to production” so teams can deliver faster and more consistently.   They then show how DROPS fits in: it orchestrates releases across mixed environments, integrates with common toolchains, provides end-to-end traceability, and even supports one-click rollback to reduce risk and manual errors.

    IBM i DevOps TechTalk #26 - Synon

    In this episode, Ray Bernardi welcomes Alan Ashley to talk about why Synon applications have become so difficult to manage today. After so many years of use, the technology hasn’t evolved, the code is hard to understand, and it’s getting harder to find people who still know Synon.   Ray and Alan explain the main problems: high maintenance costs, outdated green-screen interfaces, and the lack of developers willing to work with this old tool. They also discuss why rewriting everything from scratch often fails — and why replacing an entire application can be risky.   They then introduce ARCAD’s automated approach: converting Synon-generated code into modern free-form RPG and SQL while keeping all the business logic. This makes applications easier to maintain, easier to modernize, and much safer to move forward with. With ARCAD, companies can finally leave Synon behind and prepare their systems for the future.

    IBM i DevOps TechTalk #25 - Discover - Part2

    In this episode, Ray Bernardi welcomes Alan Ashley to explore how Discover is transforming the way teams understand and manage complex applications. Decades of development have left organizations with massive, intricate systems that are difficult to analyze and modernize. Discover changes that — using AI-powered automation to map, document, and visualize every dependency within your applications. Listeners will learn how Discover’s conversational AI, automated functional mapping, and deep database analysis make it easy for developers, business analysts, and IT leaders to explore their systems in natural language, identify obsolete or redundant components, and gain a complete understanding of data flows. With Discover, ARCAD brings clarity to complexity — empowering teams to modernize faster, improve governance, and make smarter decisions about their application landscape.

    IBM i DevOps TechTalk #24 - Concurrent Development

    In this episode, Ray Bernardi hosts Alan Ashley and Jeff Tickner to explore the challenges and opportunities of concurrent development on IBM i. They explain how moving away from traditional monolithic workflows and adopting Git can transform collaboration, enabling multiple developers to work in parallel without conflict. Listeners will also hear how pull requests, merges, and automation streamline the DevOps workflow—helping teams detect issues earlier, improve code quality, and accelerate delivery. With Git and ARCAD, IBM i development becomes more transparent, reliable, and adaptable to modern practices.
