October 04, 2018 Continuous Intelligence
Much has been made of the benefits that tech such as artificial intelligence and machine learning can bring to the enterprise. But to be truly transformational, such tech can’t just bring a one-off improvement in decision making. They need to be able to adapt and change as the world around changes. Join ThoughtWorks’ global head of technology Mike Mason and his guests Christoph Windheuser, ThoughtWorks’ global lead in artificial intelligence and Sheroy Marker, head of technology at ThoughtWorks Products, as they explore how to choose the right data and AI model, to create complex models that are capable of continuously learning.

September 13, 2018 Distributed systems antipatterns
The tech landscape has changed fundamentally, with the growth in distributed computing and microservices. But it's not always easy to create truly independent services, especially amid time and budget pressures — sometimes it's just easier to allow multiple services to use a shared database.

In this episode, our panel explore the antipatterns we've seen emerge and consider how we can avoid them.

July 01, 2016 Incorporating Security Best Practices into Agile Teams
In this episode of the ThoughtWorks Beacon Podcast, ThoughtWorkers Jonny LeRoy and Chelsea Komlo talk about security and specifically how it fits into the development process of an agile team. Jonny and Chelsea begin by talking about the "Security Sandwich" - a concept first coined in ThoughtWorks' Technology Radar. https://www.thoughtworks.com/radar "We called it the security sandwich because the meat of your delivery was in the middle, but then security came on either side like the two pieces of bread, " Jonny explained. "And there would be some upfront security planning and documentation, and then some penetration testing and certification at the end. We are really on a mission to work out how to bake security processes into continuous delivery approaches." The podcast continues with Chelsea and Jonny providing next steps for tech leaders who want to incorporate a security culture within their respective teams. "One thing that's important to remember is that you're never going to completely be 100% secure, but you also want to be able to know if something is happening and react. So when we think about security, we think about both hardening our systems and also reacting," Chelsea reminds listeners. You can follow us on Twitter @thoughtworks.

May 22, 2016 Build Pipelines as Code with LambdaCD
In this episode, we talk to ThoughtWorks developer Florian Sellmayr about LambdaCD, an open source library for building build pipelines as code, written in Clojure. Florian shares with us the problems he has faced with traditional continuous integration systems, for example Jenkins. He makes a passionate case for LambdaCD’s approach of building your pipelines like you build your microservices - using such powerful tools like a functional programming language, version control, tests and refactoring. Finally, Florian outlines how the project evolved from a thought experiment into a library under active use and development and gives hints for upcoming contributors that want to help in shaping LambdaCD’s future. http://www.lambda.cd/

May 06, 2016 Defining Evolutionary Architecture with Neal Ford
In this 13-minutes long ThoughtWorks Beacon podcast, Neal Ford, a software architect and meme wrangler at ThoughtWorks, shares his working definition of "evolutionary architecture." "Here is our working definition of evolutionary architecture," Neal says. "An evolutionary architecture supports incremental guided change as a first principle along multiple dimensions." He also talks about the upcoming book on the topic he is co-authoring with ThoughtWorks CTO Rebecca Parsons and Lead Developer and Agile Coach Patrick Kua. Stay tuned. You'll hear much more about this topic from Neal, Rebecca, and Pat as time goes on.
