The open source coding philosophy has enormous appeal to many software engineers, and with good reason. Open source libraries, applications, and operating systems are now essential to the overall technology ecosystem. And the number of open source projects is only increasing. But many developers don’t know how to get involved in open source. Or, they may have even faced resistance when trying to make a pull request to their favorite open source codebase. Open Sauced is a platform to help developers get involved in open source development. While the number of GitHub stars on a project is often seen as a metric of success for a code base, Open Sauced focuses on the number of new contributors on a project. This number serves as a signal to help drive the platform’s recommendation system, which pairs its users with open source projects in need of developers. Brian Douglas is a former Developer Experience Lead at Netlify and he was the Director of Developer Advocacy at GitHub. He is also the founder and CEO of Open Sauced and he is our guest in this episode. Josh Goldberg is an independent full time open source developer in the TypeScript ecosystem. He works on projects that help developers write better TypeScript more easily, most notably on typescript-eslint: the tooling that enables ESLint and Prettier to run on TypeScript code. Josh regularly contributes to open source projects in the ecosystem such as ESLint and TypeScript. Josh is a Microsoft MVP for developer technologies and the author of the acclaimed Learning TypeScript (O’Reilly), a cherished resource for any developer seeking to learn TypeScript without any prior experience outside of JavaScript. Josh regularly presents talks and workshops at bootcamps, conferences, and meetups to share knowledge on TypeScript, static analysis, open source, and general frontend and web development.

Temporal with Max Fateev 41:23

There are countless real world scenarios where a workflow or process has multiple steps, and some steps must be completed before others can be started. Think of something as simple as cooking dinner. First you look up a recipe, then you write down the ingredients you need, you go shopping, and then you cook. These steps must be run in a certain order, and the state of the workflow must be tracked throughout. Workflow management is everywhere in the software world, and today it’s common for teams to engineer custom solutions. This makes sense, because creating a general-purpose solution for workflow management is a hard conceptual problem, and perhaps an even harder engineering challenge. Maxim Fateev has a deep background engineering distributed systems and workflow management services at Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. In 2015, he joined Uber and helped create the open-source project, Cadence, which is an orchestration engine to execute asynchronous long-running business logic. The success of Cadence led Max to co-found Temporal , which is an open-source programming package for workflow execution. Max joins the show today to talk about the engineering challenges at Temporal, the concept of “durable execution”, how he organizes his engineering teams, and more. Sean’s been an academic, startup founder, and Googler. He has published works covering a wide range of topics from information visualization to quantum computing. Currently, Sean is Head of Marketing and Developer Relations at Skyflow and host of the podcast Partially Redacted, a podcast about privacy and security engineering.

Enabling authorization policies across disparate cloud-native environments such as containers, microservices and modern application delivery infrastructure is complex and can be a roadblock for software engineering teams. Open Policy Agent, or OPA, is an open, declarative, policy-as-code approach to authorization that reduces security and compliance burden for engineering teams. Business context is translated into declarative policy statements. These policy statements are compiled into code and deployed as agents that can be injected into any process, such as an API gateway, Kubernetes provisioning service, public cloud access controls, or continuous delivery automation service. Styra created and contributed OPA to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation where it is a graduated project with over 130M downloads to date and is used by large companies. Styra’s enterprise commercial offering, Declarative Authorization Service (DAS), is specifically designed for OPA and includes the ability to author policies, preview impacts of new policies, and document the history of old policies, all through a single view. Tim Hinrichs , CTO and founder of Styra, joins the show today to discuss how to make authorization policies easier to author, distribute, and monitor. One note of disclosure to be aware of: Styra is a portfolio company of Capital One Ventures , the strategic investing arm of Capital One.

Alex is the author of The DynamoDB Book , the comprehensive guide to data modeling with DynamoDB, as well as The DynamoDB Guide , a free guided introduction to DynamoDB. He runs a consulting company where he assists clients with DynamoDB data modeling, serverless architectures, and general AWS usage. You can find more of his work at alexdebrie.com . Nearly all new tech companies build in a public cloud and established companies are rapidly migrating to the cloud from their on-prem data centers. But this move to the cloud can lead to a visibility problem. Cloud Providers offer not only Compute instances but also manage services like databases, blob storage, queues and more. It can be difficult for SRE teams and security departments to understand what is happening across a company’s cloud accounts. Yevgeny Pats is the creator of CloudQuery , an open source cloud asset inventory powered by SQL. CloudQuery allows you to ingest and structure the resources in your cloud accounts so that you can query them using SQL. This allows SRE teams to understand the source of specific resources while security teams can ensure compliance with policies. In this episode we’ll discuss CloudQuery, Yevgeny’s entrepreneurial background and raising funding with an open source project Sponsorship inquiries: sponsor@softwareengineeringdaily.com .

By most accounts, the first databases came on line in the 1960s. This class of software has continued to evolve alongside the technology it runs on and the applications it supports. In the early days, databases were typically closed source commercial products. Today, databases run in the cloud on distributed systems. Increasingly, the leading tools are open source yet frequently supported by a related commercial entity offering managed services and white glove support. In this episode, we interview Jonathan Ellis, CTO of DataStax and Spencer Kimball, CEO of Cockroach Labs about the current state of distributed databases and the open source ecosystem.

In the late 1970s a printer at MIT kept jamming, resulting in regular pileups of print jobs in the printer’s queue. To solve this problem, some computer scientists wrote a software program that alerted every user in the backed up queue “The printer is jammed, please fix it.” When a man named Richard Stallmen was refused a copy of the program code, he resolved to create a publicly available operating system and the open source movement was born ( opensource.com ). Over 50 years later, open source has become a coding philosophy practiced by millions of software engineers around the world. Why is open source so popular? What difference has it really made in software engineering, and what major projects are open source? In this episode we talk to William Morgan, CEO at Buoyant and creator of the open source service mesh Linkerd.
