  • Episode 33: Spring Cloud, Zuul, & API gateways, with Spencer Gibb

    All these cloud-native apps don’t magically figure out how to talk with each other themselves.

    As organizations get deeper into improving how they do IT, they’re interested in replicating the collaborative benefits of open source communities. Jono Bacon has worked in this space for many, many years and shares some of his experiences here with Barton George and I, while we were all at OSCON. Jono also goes over some of the important parts of community management.
