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.
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.

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.

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.

In this episode, Heroku co-founder and Ink & Switch founder Adam Wiggins argues for a 'local-first' architecture that reconciles cloud-based collaboration with the performance and data ownership of local software. He explores the role of CRDTs and version control primitives in non-code domains, and examines how a hybrid AI future might leverage local models for core productivity tasks.

Daniel Finneran explores how eBPF has evolved far beyond its roots in packet filtering into a robust, safe way to extend the Linux kernel. He explains how the eBPF "verifier", the security guardrail, enables implementation of deep observability and networking without the risks of traditional kernel modules or the slow upstreaming process.

Martin Kleppmann, an associate professor at Cambridge and author of Designing Data-Intensive Applications, discusses the evolution of data systems over the last decade, mainly the shift from monolithic databases to modular building blocks. Kleppmann underlines the importance of moving from cloud-centric data storage systems to decentralised data storage similar to Bluesky’s AT protocol.
Conversations on building intentional engineering culture: team dynamics, leadership, and software management. For engineering leaders, managers, and the developers they support.
/podcasts/formal-methods-ai-powered-future/en/mediumimage/gabriela-moreira-interviewee-1782478546952.jpeg)
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.
/podcasts/team-operating-system-ai-era/en/mediumimage/craig-mcluckie-interviewee-1780644878321.jpeg)
In this podcast, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods spoke to Craig McLuckie, co-creator of Kubernetes and CEO of Stacklok, about the impact of AI coding tools on open source communities and engineering teams, designing deliberate organisational culture, and navigating evolving career paths for engineers in the age of AI.
/podcasts/some-developers-thrive-while-others-struggle/en/mediumimage/michael-parker-interviewee-1777018955276.jpg)
In this podcast, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Michael Parker, VP of Engineering at TurinTech AI, about bringing joy back to software development in the AI era, the emerging role of "factory architects" who orchestrate AI agents rather than write code directly, and the cultural divide between AI hype and the reality developers face on legacy codebases.
/podcasts/tiger-teams-evals-agents/en/mediumimage/sam-bhagwat-1775220077178.jpg)
In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods spoke to Sam Bhagwat, co-founder and CEO of Mastra, about building and sustaining open source communities, the emerging discipline of AI engineering and evals, and how cross-functional Tiger Teams are key to shipping agentic applications.
/podcasts/hidden-driver-engineering-culture/en/mediumimage/interviewee-adrian-peryer-1773130906988.jpg)
In this podcast, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Adrian Peryer about Ron Westrum's organizational culture continuum, the role of information flow in shaping team culture, and how leaders can develop requisite imagination to detect weak signals.
