  • Breaking Web3: Node Ops at Scale, Hard Fork Havoc, and Bare-Metal Mastery - DEVOPS 241
    2025/05/22
    In this episode of Adventures in DevOps, we welcomed Paul Marston from Anchor (yes, the Web3 infrastructure powerhouse) to dive deep into the world of blockchain node operations — and wow, what a ride it was!

    We kicked things off with some podcast housekeeping (hey, did you fill out the listener survey yet? There are AWS credits on the line! 👀) before diving headfirst into Paul’s fascinating journey from underwriting loans on green-screen terminals to managing sprawling, bare-metal blockchain infrastructure.

    Key Takeaways & Highlights:
    1. Web2 vs. Web3 Infra:
    We loved Paul's analogy-rich walkthrough of moving from financial services into Web3. Turns out, while the fundamentals of system resilience and scale remain, Web3 brings a whole new tempo — no weekends, no downtime, just constant evolution. He put it best: "We don't have bank holidays in Web3."
    2. What Anchor Actually Does:
    Paul explained it beautifully — imagine AWS for Web3, but on high-performance bare metal. They're running 100+ chains, handling everything from provisioning nodes to ensuring high availability and ultra-low latency. And yes, that includes crazy challenges like scaling archive nodes with terabytes of blockchain history.
    3. Hard Fork Hysteria:
    Ever wonder what it’s like to be on the front lines of a hard fork? Paul’s firsthand stories (like the Ethereum Pectra upgrade chaos) showed us just how critical real-time response and coordination are. These aren't just code releases — they're make-or-break moments for decentralized networks.
    4. Load Balancing in Web3 is... Intense:
    Forget simple health checks. Their load balancer routes traffic based on node sync status, archive availability, and even request type. If you're into distributed systems, this was catnip.
    5. AI's Role in DevOps? It’s Getting Real:
    Anchor's bringing AI (shout-out to "Monica") into their ops stack. From diagnosing node issues to answering internal questions, it's early days, but the impact is promising — and growing fast.
    6. The Vinyl Vibe:
    In the spirit of "tech meets tactile," Paul’s pick of the week? A quirky vertical turntable from the Netherlands that scans and indexes your records like a CD. 🎶 Old-school meets innovation — just like this episode.

    Tune in, nerd out, and don’t forget to leave us that survey feedback (preferably helpful, but we’ll take weird too): adventuresindevops.com/survey

  • Observability in the CI/CD Pipeline with Adriana Villela - DevOps 240
    2025/05/15
    In this episode, Will and Warren welcome Adriana Villela — CNCF ambassador, Dynatrace advocate, and host of the Geeking Out podcast — for a wide-ranging conversation on observability in CI/CD pipelines. Adriana shares her journey from “On Call Me Maybe” to her own podcast, her work with OpenTelemetry, and why observability isn’t just for SREs anymore.

    The crew digs into how telemetry should be integrated across the software development lifecycle — from development to QA to production — and what that really looks like in modern teams. Adriana drops knowledge on CI/CD failures, distributed traces, and even how to bring observability to other parts of the business like recruiting and onboarding. She also explains how she got involved in the OpenTelemetry end-user SIG and what’s next for the observability movement.

    Things get persona as we trade war stories about SVN, terrible version control systems, reusable grocery bags, and the ethics of AI log parsers. Adriana closes with a powerful take: observability is a team sport, and the better we play it, the more effective — and environmentally conscious — our systems can become.Picks​
    • Warren: Adventures In DevOps survey - How can we make it better for you?
    • Adriana: Bouldering — she recommends it both as a physical activity and a therapeutic mental reset, especially when traveling
    • Jillian: Expeditionary Force
    • Will: Iron Neck and Purpose & Prophet

  • Building Engineering Excellence with Ganesh Datta of Cortex - DevOps 239
    2025/05/08
    In this episode, I (flying solo today!) sat down with Ganesh Datta, the CTO and co-founder of Cortex, to explore what it really means to drive engineering excellence at scale. And spoiler: it’s not just about better dashboards or fancy developer tools—it’s about treating software development like the competitive advantage it is.

    We went deep into the why behind internal developer portals (IDPs) and how they’re transforming platform engineering, developer experience, and organizational maturity. Ganesh shares how Cortex came to life—from being paged at 2am for a mystery Game of Thrones-named microservice (yep, we've all been there), to realizing that every other business function had a system of record—except engineering.

    Key Takeaways:
    • IDPs are like CRMs for Engineering: Just as sales teams wouldn’t function without a CRM, modern engineering orgs shouldn’t be flying blind without a structured, centralized developer portal.
    • Engineering Excellence = Business Outcomes: Whether it’s reliability, security, or platform efficiency, IDPs help codify best practices and align teams toward measurable goals.
    • Start Small to Win Big: You don’t need to overhaul everything on day one. Start with a pain point you already know—like production readiness—and improve that incrementally.
    • SREs and Platform Engineers Love IDPs: Because it gives them the data, ownership visibility, and real-time checks they need, without the honor-system chaos.
    • Developer Experience is Just the Beginning: Tools like Cortex aren’t just about dev productivity—they’re about creating resilient, aligned, scalable engineering orgs.
    We also geeked out about everything from naming services (“Brewer” for a feature extraction tool? Chef’s kiss.) to the surprising power of reading 15 minutes before bed to improve sleep quality—yep, we went there!

    If you’re part of an engineering team (or leading one) and want to know how to move faster and smarter, this is the episode for you.
