AI DevOps Podcast

In today's episode, Jeffrey Palermo is joined by a really exciting guest; Robert C Martin, better known as Uncle Bob Martin!

If you don't already know Bob, he is a software engineer, instructor, and best-selling author. He is most recognized for developing numerous software design principles and for being a founder of the incredibly influential Agile Manifesto. Bob is the author of a number of Clean Code related books including his latest, Clean Agile: Back to Basics, where he reintroduces Agile values and principles for a new generation of programmers and nonprogrammers alike. In the past, Bob was also the editor-in-chief of C++ Report magazine and served as the first chairman of the Agile Alliance.

In this episode, Jeffrey and Bob talk all things Agile and Extreme Programming (XP). Bob shares his insights on what would be on his shortlist if he was building an Agile team today; shares key takeaways from his book, Clean Agile: Back to Basics; and speaks about what XP looks like in 2020. He also touches on clean architecture, clean code, his predictions for the future of the software industry, and offers some timely tips for young developers!

In today's episode, Jeffrey Palermo sits down virtually with Daniel Vacanti, the co-founder and CEO of ActionableAgile.

Daniel is a 20-year software industry veteran who got his start as a Java Developer/Architect. He has spent most of the last 15 years focusing on Lean and Agile Practices. In 2007, he helped develop the Kanban Method for knowledge work. He even managed the world's first project implementation of Kanban that year and, ever since, has been conducting Kanban training, coaching, and consulting. As the co-founder and CEO of ActionableAgile, Daniel provides industry-leading predictive analytics tools and services for any Lean-Agile process.

Daniel Vacanti shares all about how teams can optimize their software process through better forecasting and predictability. He highlights some of the major recurring lessons that he advises teams about, his recommendations for getting started with the forecasting and predicting, and tips for managers struggling to get the right results with the software process. He also shares some general advice for management and teams starting from scratch on how to get more stuff done, mitigate risk, and more!

Joining Jeffrey Palermo today is Mike Sigsworth, a Principal Software Architect at Clear Measure.

Mike has been developing for over 20 years (most of that in the .NET space) and an unquenchable curiosity to learn keeps him close to the cutting edge of technology. He is also incredibly passionate about board games and is an avid listener of sci-fi audiobooks!

In today's podcast, Jeffrey and Mike are talking about a huge project that Mike is working on for a client that has made some big shifts for a massively critical system. They discuss this project, how they handled migration to .NET Core, tackled containerization, broke up services into microservices, how the DevOps pipeline was pieced together, and the overall structure of the team. Mike also gives his thoughts and sheds some light on Docker, Helm, Kubernetes, NServiceBus, and more.

[12:16] Talking Dapper.[14:19] Mike continues detailing the evolution of the project from moving to .NET Core, getting things running in Containers, and more.

[15:28] Mike shares about a recent fun experience he had with Kubernetes and NServiceBus.

[17:30] Mike gives his take on NServiceBus and whether or not he thinks it will be sticking around.

[20:16] A word from Azure DevOps Podcast's sponsor: Clear Measure.

[20:44] Having fully containerized their environment, in most cases does that provide them with a zero-downtime deployment process?

[24:51] With this type of system architecture, how did they piece together their DevOps pipeline?

[27:50] Mike speaks about their testing surface area and how they know when something is not destabilized whenever a new Git commit comes through.

[30:43] For such a massively busy system, what's the necessary structure for the team?

[32:00] Mike shares some of the indispensable go-to resources he recommends listeners to check out.

[32:58] In the future when Cloud providers may have "plug and play" Container or Kubernetes services, would Mike give up some control in order to just say, "Run my stuff"?

[34:13] Jeffrey thanks Mike for joining the podcast!

Joining Jeffrey Palermo today is Mike Sigsworth, a Principal Software Architect at Clear Measure.

Mike has been developing for over 20 years (most of that in the .NET space) and an unquenchable curiosity to learn keeps him close to the cutting edge of technology. He is also incredibly passionate about board games and is an avid listener of sci-fi audiobooks!

In today's podcast, Jeffrey and Mike are talking about a huge project that Mike is working on for a client that has made some big shifts for a massively critical system. They discuss this project, how they handled migration to .NET Core, tackled containerization, broke up services into microservices, how the DevOps pipeline was pieced together, and the overall structure of the team. Mike also gives his thoughts and sheds some light on Docker, Helm, Kubernetes, NServiceBus, and more.
