The New Stack Podcast

On today's episode of The New Stack Makers, TNS Founder Alex Williams spoke briefly with Typeform Operations Engineer Daniel Vidal de la Rubia to learn more about Typeform's technology infrastructure, and its continuing development of a Kubernetes environment.

Typeform aims to help humanise online forms, also making extensive use of database technologies such as MySQL, Redis, and ElasticSearch. Vidal de la Rubia noted that Typform is moving toward Postgres, in order to better to fit customer demands.

“We use Go for the back end mainly, and stack it with PHP. We still have a monolith, but we’re moving to microservices. Most of the things we’re stacking from the monolith, they are built in Go and React. We are looking to move forward to Kubernetes," said Vidal de la Rubia. Typeform initially began working with Kubernetes on a small internal cluster for its own use, and is now in the process of building out its Kubernetes infrastructure.

The intersection of software development, security, and operations can be difficult for some businesses to traverse. Platforms such as Cloud Foundry aim to help organizations bridge the gap, while still focusing on security.

Snyk CEO & Co-Founder Guy Podjarny addressed the announcement of the architectural decisions seen by Cloud Foundry in the Cloud Foundry Container Runtime and Cloud Foundry's continued focus on the BOSH platform in a discussion with TNS Founder Alex Williams on today's episode of The New Stack Makers.

“I think it’s good to embrace some flexibility. At the end of the day if you talk about empowering teams and organisations to choose the right tool for their job, then you want to empower them. Today this decision between the PaaS model and containers is a decision, there’s sort of pros and cons to each. I like the opinionated aspects of the Platform as a Service, because they can still embed controls and constraints onto the system to ensure they’re done right."

Like a lot of startups, CircleCI started with a monolith, running on Amazon Web Services (AWS). But there was only so much that could be done to keep the monolith performing when by 2015 the company started to scale. CircleCI had built its own job scheduler in 2011 because there was nothing on the market that matched what they needed. On today's episode of The New Stack Makers, TNS Founder Alex Williams caught up with CircleCI's CTO Rob Zuber in a live-streamed discussion to dig deeper into the architecture workings behind the organization. 

By 2015, the company had made a conscious decision to use third=party tools instead of building their own, including Kubernetes, Docker containers, AWS, and Nomad. In managing Kuberenetes on AWS, Zuber noted that CircleCI has faced some issues as Kubernetes is not officially supported by AWS, but that the overall experience has been positive.

“In terms of managing our own infrastructure, what mattered to us was the ecosystem. Kubernetes is a scheduler, but with it are all of these tools people have built to help us do our job. It was becoming pretty clear Kubernetes was a leader in terms of the amount of support it was getting.”
