LOTE #9: Gene Kim on Developer Productivity, the Five Ideals, and Platforms

Gene Kim, author of the The Phoenix Project and founder of the DevOps Enterprise Summit, discusses the importance of developer productivity within the larger context of DevOps, and explores the “five ideals” as presented in his latest book, The Unicorn Project. He also outlines how the platform that engineers deploy onto should codify operational best practices that promote flow when testing, deploying, and releasing functionality.

Om Podcasten

Software developers, platform engineers, and sysadmin/operators listen to the biweekly Ambassador 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 organizations such as HashiCorp, Lyft, TicketMaster, Headstart, and Buoyant.
