The New Stack Podcast

Today on the New Stack Analysts we have a combined package of two interviews I recently did with Daniel Bryant and Matt Chotin. Bryant is one of the people The New Stack looks to for his insightful analysis. He is an independent consultant, speaker and writer. Chotin is a well-respected technologist who works as senior director of developer initiatives at AppDynamics, where he is responsible for leading AppDynamics "products to better support developers in improving improving performance and achieving business outcomes." Our topic of discussion for this podcast: When discussing microservices, how would you characterize the state of the market?

The wave of development interest in containers is growing as financial investment also grows. We first discuss the state of the market with Bryant, followed by Chotin who talked to the overall maturity of the users who are developing microservices.

More microservices means a lot more containers in all stages of development, deployment and management. That ultimately is great news for the developer tool community. People are building continuous delivery models based on DevOps practices delivered across any thinkable possible infrastructure. It’s these DevOps practices that will remain largely cultural as the board room transfixes on digital transformation and uses that paradigm as the basis for spending over time.

Beyond the hugs, open source contributions have considerable benefit. The return is in how open source contributions are valued. There’s a ratio really that can be used. It derives from the amount of people who find value in the open source project in comparison to the revenues and overall value the open source company receives from community interaction, says Sensu's Matthew Broberg in this episode of The New Stack Makers.

Broberg, vice president of community at Sensu, has a humanistic and business perspective that defines his views about the way community management provides value back to the business and the individuals who are consuming open source. Overall contributions and open source users who find value in the platform does not always mean these individuals will use the commercial version of the monitoring platform that Sensu offers. But if a percentage of those open source users are using the Sensu product then that’s a healthy sign.

In this interview recorded at the Open Source Leadership Summit, Azure CTO Mark Russinovich and The New Stack’s Founder Alex Williams discussed how Microsoft builds on and contributes to open source for Azure’s AI and machine learning. As Russinovich – who had just given a keynote suggesting that AI owes its current strength to the combination of open source and the cloud – explained, “Fundamentally a lot of AI, machine learning and analytics is built on top of open source and it's a key part of our strategy to build with and use that open source, as well as to contribute back and to add to open source.”
