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.
In this podcast, Edo Liberty, founder and CEO at Pinecone, discusses the importance of vector databases in the successful adoption of Generative AI and LLM based applications and how vector databases are different from traditional data stores.
In this episode, Thomas Betts talks with Nick Tune, co-author of the book Architecture Modernization - Socio-Technical Alignment of Software, Strategy, and Structure. The discussion includes how to know if it makes sense to invest in an architecture modernization journey, how to get started, what benefits you can expect to achieve, and how to measure the improvements.
In this podcast, Vitess CNCF project technical lead Deepthi Sigireddi discusses the architecture of cloud native distributed databases, sharding, replication, and failover. She also talks about what DB developers should consider when choosing distributed databases.
In this podcast Michael Stiefel spoke to Anthony Alford and Roland Meertens about the future of software development and the training of new developers, in a world where Large Language Models heavily contribute to software development.
In this episode, Thomas Betts talks with Sophia Prater about Object-Oriented UX (OOUX). OOUX focuses on identifying the objects and relationships within a system, allowing for better communication and collaboration among designers, product owners, engineers, and architects. Prater explains the process of OOUX, which involves multiple rounds of discovery, requirements, prioritization, and revision.
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 Gil Broza about his new book Deliver Better Results and the importance of putting people first in organizations.
In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods spoke to David Grizzanti, a principal engineer at the New York Times, about the importance of documentation for organizational resilience, the concept of InnerSource, the parallels between engineering and art, and the challenges and advice for engineering leaders
In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods spoke to John Fisher, a constructivist psychologist, about the Fisher Change Curve and its relevance to technologists as bringers of change and in coping with change themselves.
In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods spoke to Britt Meyers, the VP of Engineering at System Initiative, about engineering culture and leadership.
