InfoQ's podcasts are interviews with the software architects, senior engineers, and team leaders who build and operate production systems. Episodes work through the tradeoffs behind real decisions in software architecture, AI and ML engineering, and engineering culture. Guests are practitioners and QCon speakers describing what worked and what broke in systems they built.

The Architecture Advice Process with Andrew Harmel-Law

To best support continuously-delivering, autonomous teams, a software architect has to avoid being a blocker by trying to make all architectural decisions. In this episode of the podcast, Thomas Betts talks to Andrew Harmel-Law about how an advice process allows anyone to make an architectural decision, once they’ve had necessary conversations and properly documented their decision.

Liz Rice on Programming the Linux Kernel with eBPF, Cilium and Service Meshes

Charles Humble and Liz Rice discuss eBPF, a way of making the Linux kernel programmable. They talk about why it exists, how it works under the hood, and what you can and can’t do with it. They also talk about Cilium, an open source library for observing network connectivity between container workloads, and the new Cilium-based service mesh currently in beta.

API Showdown: REST vs. GraphQL vs. gRPC – Which Should You Use?

What is the single best API technology you should always use? Thomas Betts moderated the discussion, with the goal to understand some of the high-level features and capabilities of three popular technologies for implementing APIs. The discussion covers some of the pros and cons of GraphQL and gRPC, and why you might use them instead of a RESTful API.

Engineering Culture Podcast

About this Podcast

Conversations on building intentional engineering culture: team dynamics, leadership, and software management. For engineering leaders, managers, and the developers they support.

Reimagining the concept of responsive apps

Responsiveness is much more than a front-end web app issue. Tyler Jewell will challenge you to think differently about how to achieve elasticity, agility, and resilience.
