Ship It! Cloud, SRE, Platform Engineering

Changelog Media·Hosted by Justin Garrison and Autumn Nash·136 episodes

TechnologyDevOps interviewsSRE storiesCloud infrastructurePlatform engineering1-1.5 hrs/epCompleted show

A podcast about everything that happens after \`git push\` Justin Garrison & Autumn Nash explore all things DevOps, infra, cloud & running apps in production. Whether you're cloud native, Kubernetes curious, a pro SRE, or just operating a VPS... you'll love coming along for the ride. Some people search for ShipIt or ShipItFM and can't find the show, so now the strings ShipIt and ShipItFM are in our description too.

Why listen

Ship It! is for engineers who care about what happens after code leaves a laptop. Justin Garrison and Autumn Nash talk with practitioners running real infrastructure, from Kubernetes and observability to platform engineering, incidents, databases, and deployment systems. It is especially good for DevOps, SRE, cloud, and backend engineers who want practical war stories rather than abstract vendor talk.

Rust efficiencies at AWS scale

Tim McNamara is known as New Zealand’s Rust guy. He is the author of Rust in Action, and also a Senior Software Engineer at AWS, where he helps other builders with all things Rust. The main reason why Gerhard is intrigued by Rust is the incredible resource frugality. Fewer CPUs means less energy used, which is good for the planet, and good for the monthly bill. This becomes most noticeable at Amazon’s scale, when S3, Lambda, CloudFront and other services start adding Rust components.

Treat ideas like cattle, not pets

In our ops & infra world, we learn to optimise for redundancy, for mean time to recovery and for graceful degradation. We instinctively recognise single points of failure, and try to mitigate the risks associated with them. For some years now, Daniel Vassallo has been doing the same, but in the context of life & work. Daniel talks about the role of randomness, about learning from small wins & about optimising for a lifestyle that matches your true preferences. Apparently, ideas too should be treated like cattle, not pets. Join the discussionChangelog++ members save 2 minutes on this episode because they made the ads disappear.

Why we switched to serverless containers

Last September, at the 🇨🇭 Swiss Cloud Native Day, Florian Forster, co-founder & CEO of ZITADEL, talked about why they switched to serverless containers. ZITADEL has a really interesting workload that is both CPU intensive and latency sensitive. On top of this, their users are global, and traffic is bursty. Florian talks about how they evaluated AWS, GCP & Azure before they settled on the platform that met their requirements.

Human scale deployments

Lars is big on Elixir. Think apps that scale really well, tend to be monolithic, and have one of the most mature deployment models: self-contained releases & built-in hot code reloading. In episode 7, Gerhard talked to Lars about “Why Kubernetes”. There is a follow-up YouTube stream that showed how to automate deploys for an Elixir app using K3s & ArgoCD. More than a year later, how does Lars think about running applications in production? What does simple & straightforward mean to him? Gerhard’s favourite: what is “human scale deployments”?
