Incident management is the process of managing and resolving unexpected disruptions or issues in software systems, especially those that are customer-facing or critical to business operations. Implementing a robust incident management system is often a key challenge in technical environments. Rootly is a platform to handle incident management directly from Slack, and is used by hundreds of leading companies including Canva, Grammarly, and Cisco.

Ashley Sawatsky leads Developer Relations at Rootly and previously led Shopify’s Incident Communications team. Niall Murphy is Co-founder and CEO at Stanza. He has written extensively about reliability engineering and is the co-author of the best-selling book, Site Reliability Engineering. Ashley and Niall join us in this episode to discuss how engineers and their non-technical counterparts can successfully approach incident management together.

APIs are ubiquitous and critical to building modern software, and developers must frequently develop custom APIs to streamline user access to their services.

However, making an API that provides a great developer experience can be a time-consuming endeavor. As a result, API teams often leave the final mile of integration up to their users.

Speakeasy aims to provide a product and a pipeline that makes it easy to create and consume any API.

Sagar Batchu is the co-founder and CEO of Speakeasy and he joins us in this episode.

Paweł is the founder at flat.social the world’s first ‘flatverse’ start-up. Pawel’s background is as a full-stack software engineer with a lean and experimental approach towards product development. With a strong grounding in computing science, he spent the last decade getting early-stage products off the ground – both in startup and corporate settings.

Feature flags also known as feature toggles, release toggles or feature flippers are a way to enable or disable a particular feature from your app without making any changes to the source code. You can turn on or off a particular functionality without deploying new code. Feature flags can also be used to serve different features to different subset of users.

The company Flagsmith provides you a platform for developing, implementing and managing your feature flags. Ben Rometsch is the Co-founder and the CEO of Flagsmith and he joins us today.

Programming robotics software has traditionally been a specialized field. The software industry has seen rapid progress, the operating system that provides the foundation for our software applications is taken care of by companies like Google, Microsoft, and other players like Canonical, Amazon, etc. The robotics industry still needs that OS layer that handles the complexities so that engineers can build robots that serve their business needs. VIAM aspires to be the Operating System for robotics that makes it easy to turn great ideas into production robots.

Eliot Horowitz is the Founder and CEO of VIAM and he joins us today. Eliot was previously the CTO at MongoDB, a database company. We discuss with him the different challenges one faces when trying to build a robot and how VIAM is trying to solve that.

Bug reporting hasn’t changed since the 1990’s. Despite all the technological advancements we’ve made in the rest of software development, the way we handle bugs has stayed the same.

It is common practice for non technical teams to provide bug reports that are missing vital information for developers to identify and quickly fix code, such as: network requests, console logs, HAR file, device information, video or screenshot replication, and more.

Providing a comprehensive bug report requires logging into many tools and time spent context switching, creating an environment where people are less likely to report bugs, which is not an ideal scenario for any founder or builder.

Dani & Irtefa, co-founders at Jam.dev set out to build a tool that will enable anyone, no matter their technical background, to capture rich contextual technical data about bugs, so that developers can quickly identify and resolve issues.

Jam is a browser extension that will instantly replay a bug while automatically attaching diagnostics: network requests and speed, console logs, device, and more – all in one easy click. You don’t have to log into a new tool or disrupt workflows, as Jam has direct integrations with all the first class bug reporting tools to seamlessly drop diagnostics into a ticket.

In this episode, Dani & Irtefa share their experience building greenfield products for Cloudflare’s Emerging Technology and Incubation team, how bug reporting was the common pain-point that impacted their product velocity, and the technology decisions they made when building Jam.

Roblox is a gaming platform with a large ecosystem of players, creators, game designers, and entrepreneurs.

The world of Roblox is a three-dimensional environment where characters and objects interact through a physics engine. Roblox is multiplayer, and users can interact with each other over the Internet. Roblox is not one single game—it is a system where anyone can design and monetize their own games within Roblox.

Over the last 14 years, Roblox has grown to be massively popular. As the product has grown, the software has evolved to meet changes in consumer demands and engineering constraints.

Client devices include mobile phones, desktop computers, and virtual reality. All of these clients must have a consistent experience in graphics and functionality. The backend platform has to support a high volume of concurrent players who are accessing a high volume of content. The networking needs to support multiple players operating in an environment that demands high bandwidth.

Claus Moberg is a vice president of engineering at Roblox. He joins the show to discuss the engineering of Roblox and the future of gaming.
