Today we’re talking with Nitzan Shapira, co-founder and CEO of Epsagon, about how and why to use managed services from a cloud provider such as AWS.

Epsagon is a sponsor of The New Stack that provides automated observability and cost management for serverless applications using distributed tracing and AI technologies. He wrote a post for us this week on the evolution of managed services such as AWS Fargate and Amazon EKS, the tradeoffs and benefits of using them and his tips for how to choose a managed service.

Then later in the show, we discuss the latest news from EnterpriseDB's Postgres Vision, JFrog's swampUp, and QCON New York conferences, as well as our top podcast pick from the week, an interview with Gitlab's Ashish Kuthiala about the changing role of CI/CD.
