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 eMag, we try to establish agentic AI architecture as a new type of software architecture that will likely dominate the industry for years to come. The articles, written by industry experts, cover various elements and aspects of agentic AI architecture. We aim to present the latest trends and developments shaping the new type of architecture as it enters the mainstream.
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.
Birgitta Böckeler, Thoughtworks’ subject matter expert on Generative AI coding assistants, discusses how to enhance generated code by incorporating additional information into its context, and how your team’s dynamics will evolve with the adoption of these tools.
The panel discussion in this episode is one half of the annual InfoQ Architecture and Design Trends Report. The other half is the written report .
One of the regular features of InfoQ are the trends reports, which each focus on a different aspect of software development. These reports provide the InfoQ readers with a high-level overview of the topics to pay attention to this year.
Eddie Knight, OSPO lead at Sonatype, discusses how the EU Cyber Resilience Act can help with improving your software project’s security and in the same time to slow down the alarming acceleration of software supply chain attacks.
In this podcast, Wenjie Zi discusses why many ML projects don’t succeed and what technology and organizational aspects affect the success of those projects. She also talked about what potential communication and understanding gaps can exist between business team and ML practitioners and how to address these gaps.
In this episode, Thomas Betts speaks with Vlad Khononov about balancing coupling in software design, the subject of his recent book. They discuss how coupling is necessary for a system to function, but has to be balanced to allow the system to evolve. Vlad identifies three factors that can be used to measure coupling: knowledge sharing, distance, and volatility.
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 Adam Kentosh about the ongoing challenges organisations face in their DevOps, DevSecOps and digital transformation journeys.
In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods spoke to Maria Fernandez Guajardo about how product management has evolved, with the need for closer collaboration between product, engineering, and design, especially in the age of AI.
This is the Engineering Culture Podcast, from the people behind InfoQ.com and the QCon conferences.
In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods spoke to Kent McDonald about his experience working with organizations that build software for internal use, emphasizing the importance of product management in these contexts.
In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods spoke to Declan Whelan about technical health, useful metrics, modern technical practices, code stewardship and cultural aspects of good engineering teams.
