March 19, 2026Mainframe modernization: Where AI wins and fails
There are two sides to the mainframe modernization coin, according to Asa Kalavade, vice president of AWS Transform, an agentic AI service that modernizes Windows, mainframe, and VMware environments. In late February, Asa wrote a blog post about misconceptions regarding AI and mainframe modernization that were revealed by work with more than 400 AWS Transform customers. In that post and during this episode's discussion, she explains why successful mainframe modernization requires both reverse and forward engineering – and why AI is only good at one of those things.
Featuring: Asa Kalavade, VP of AWS Transform
In today’s episode, we’ll cover…

March 12, 2026The "observability tax," AI and the SaaSpocalypse
"I would love there to be a SaaS apocalypse" in observability – that's the spicy take from Ari Zilka, CEO at data pipeline engine startup MyDecisive.ai, and a former exec at New Relic and Hortonworks. MyDecisive's open source software targets data management costs from observability vendors such as Datadog by reducing data at the source; it can also proactively alert on and take action on OpenTelemetry data as it comes in from enterprise applications. If Zilka has his way, observability will return to enterprises as an in-house discipline, but without requiring an army of engineers to set it up.
Featuring: Ari Zilka, CEO at MyDecisive.ai
In today’s episode, we’ll cover…
MyDecisive's approach to AI and Zilka's outlook on AI agents (It's not what you might think)
Observability costs and how MyDecisive proposes tackling them
