Andy Brinkmeyer shares how engineering leaders and architects can use Rust to build failure-proof systems. Moving beyond memory safety, he explains how ownership, enums, and the typestate pattern embed complex runtime protocols into compile-time checks. Learn to eliminate entire classes of bugs, manage real-world resources safely, and maximize codebase robustness effortlessly.
In this podcast, Michael Stiefel spoke to Sarah Wells about the relationship of governance to software architecture. Governance enables teams to work effectively by establishing procedures that minimize system complexity, improve security, and reduce repetitive tasks. Targeted checklists help engineers by reducing the stress over these procedures.
Itamar Friedman discusses how architects and engineering leaders can break through the AI productivity ceiling using adaptive multi-agent systems. He shares insights on moving past simple autocomplete to resilient workflows by integrating autonomous testing, intelligent code review, and robust arbitration. Learn how to govern agent communication and build a context-driven SDLC that scales.
In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods spoke to Gabriela Moreira about making formal methods accessible through the Quint specification language, how AI is dramatically lowering the barrier to entry for formal specification and model-based testing, and why defining correct system behaviour remains essential human work in an AI-driven world.
In this episode, Alex Zenla (CTO/Co-founder, Edera) challenges the "laissez-faire" attitude toward modern infrastructure. She promotes "spite-driven development", building software to solve genuine technical pain points rather than passively accepting flawed abstractions, as a philosophy of improving the world of software.
InfoQ's podcasts are interviews with the software architects, senior engineers, and team leaders who build and
operate production systems. Episodes work through the tradeoffs behind real decisions in
software architecture,
AI and ML engineering, and
engineering culture. Guests are practitioners
and QCon speakers describing what worked and what broke in systems they built.
The InfoQ Podcast
About this Podcast
Interviews with the software architects and senior engineers who build and run production systems. Each episode works through the tradeoffs behind a real decision in architecture, AI engineering, and development.
Laurent Doguin and Geoffroy Couprie discuss their pioneering work with Wasm on the infrastructure side. They walk us through the benefits and challenges of building a platform over WebAssembly and why it’s the safer alternative to containers.
Asgaut Mjølne Söderbom and Ola Hast, two developers with Sparebank1, speak about their journey towards continuous deployment and pair programming. During the conversation, they share how they use the "waste clock" to identify areas of improvement or how TDD helps them deliver high-quality code.
In this podcast episode, speakers from the upcoming InfoQ Dev Summit Munich 2025 tackle the practical challenges facing European developers caught between regulatory pressures and technological realities. The panel discusses trade-offs between using US cloud providers versus emerging European alternatives, exploring cloud-agnostic architecture strategies and the implications of data sovereignty.
In this episode, Thomas Betts speaks with Ian Miell about how the financial aspects of a business affect how software is designed and built. If Conway’s Law says organizational structures determine the software design, then following the money helps us understand why those organization structures exist, and ultimately whether software will be successful in achieving its goals.
Luca Mezzalira, a pioneer and enthusiast of microfrontends, discusses the microfrontends' evolution over the past years, underlying a set of heuristics that will allow you to gradually implement them in your product. He also touches on approaches to obtain quick feedback, both in your inner and outer development loops.
Conversations on building intentional engineering culture: team dynamics, leadership, and software management. For engineering leaders, managers, and the developers they support.
In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods spoke to Sophie Weston, Principal Engineer at ClearBank, about her career in tech, the importance of good team practices, the evolution of DevOps, and the need for a supportive engineering culture.
In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods spoke to Geoffrey Huck about how software engineers can improve their communication skills, particularly with non-technical colleagues, by actively seeking feedback, using analogies and stories to explain technical concepts and varying their speaking style to keep audiences engaged.
In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods spoke to Austin Vance, about the importance of intentional onboarding and culture-building, as well as his company's unique approach to compensation and the role of managers in retaining top talent.
In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods spoke to Neeraj Mainkar about the challenges of developing safe and usable medical device software in areas where software bugs can have life-and-death consequences, and how to approach these challenges through rigorous processes, user-centered design, and leveraging emerging technologies.
In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods spoke to Olalekan Elesin about how generative AI tools can elevate developer experience by enabling engineers to be more creative and productive. He stresses the need to manage expectations, develop prompt engineering skills, and maintain a focus on security and customer privacy when leveraging these tools in an enterprise setting.
