Podcasts by Livin on The Edge: DevTools, APIs,
Software developers, platform engineers, and sysadmin/operators listen to the weekly Ambassador Labs podcasts in order to learn how to build cloud platforms and create an effective developer experience (DevEx) for deploying container-based applications to Kubernetes. We also discuss best practices for releasing functionality via continuous delivery pipelines, and we investigate the latest developer tooling, API gateway technology (e.g Envoy), and service mesh implementations. We interview practitioners and senior technical leaders from organisations such as HashiCorp, Lyft, TicketMaster, Headstart, and Buoyant.
