(This interview has been edited for clarity and length.) SD Times: Can you set the context for how much data streaming is growing today and how important is it that developers pay more attention to it? Drogalis: I remember back in like 2013 or 2014, I attended the Strange Loop Conference, which was really great. And as I was walking around, I saw there was this talk on the main stage by Jay Kreps, who’s now Confluent’s CEO, and it was about Apache Kafka. I walked away with two things on my mind.

With Interest in Cloud Repatriation on the Rise, Platform Engineering Eases Developers’ Pain of On-Prem Database Provisioning

Over the past decade or so, the public cloud  has fundamentally reshaped virtually every aspect of enterprise operations. But, while plenty have benefited from this shift, perhaps none have enjoyed the convenience of cloud more than the enterprise “end user” — the software developers, data scientists, and other subject matter experts whose work has laid the foundation for much of our modern way of life.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Rather than relying

Microsoft rolls out ChatGPT-enabled version of Bing Perhaps the biggest story of the past week was that Microsoft has officially incorporated ChatGPT into its search engine Bing.  This comes shortly after the company had made a large multi-billion dollar investment in OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT.

Over the last 5 years, galaxy-brained folks have had time, thanks in part to a pandemic, to dream big about Web 3 after catching some inspirational podcasts and YouTube gurus. Or maybe watching Gilfoyle pitch a “new internet” on the last season of “Silicon Valley.” What was so intriguing to so many about Web3 anyway? Since nobody could really agree on exactly what it was, it could literally be whatever aspiring entrepreneurs imagined it to be. Common threads appeared. Blockchain. Bitcoin and Ethereum. DeFi. Decentralization of organizations, infrastructure and data. Freedom from tech giants. Self-sovereignty. Privacy. Opportunity. All the kinds of ideals that generate charismatic personalities.  Who cares about maturing cloud adoption or better integration standards, when you can explore a whole new economy based on blockchain, cryptocurrency and NFTs?
