Johannes Thönes talks to Barry O’Reilly, Founder and CEO at ExecCamp, about his book Lean Enterprise: How High Performance Organizations Innovate At Scale. 

A lean enterprise is a large organization that manages to keep innovating while keeping its existing products in the market. O’Reilly talks about the idea of scientific experiments and the build-measure-learn loop popularized by the lean-startup method. 

He shares his experiment of an online wine seller using Twitter. He further discusses the challenges for enterprises trying to do something similar and introduce the three-horizon model, to manage innovative, growing, and new products. As an example of a successful lean enterprise, O’Reilly talks about GOV.UK, the British government’s new website.

Agility in an enterprise is defined as an ability to adapt to changes in business environment with minimal disruption of existing processes and in minimal time. Can IT help build an Agile Enterprise?

Building an Agile Enterprise Through IT

Jonas Bonér, CTO of LightBend and creator Akka, discusses using Akka when developing distributed systems. He talks about the Actor Model, and how every Microservice needs to be viewed as a system to be successful. 

Why listen to this podcast:

 - Akka is JVM-based framework design for developing distributed systems leveraging the Actor Model - an approach for writing concurrent systems that treat actors as universal primitives and the most successful model with abstraction has been streaming
 - Circuit breakers in Akka are a backup and retry policy; they protect you by capturing failure data and allow you to roll back 
 - Every Microservice needs to be viewed as a system, it needs to have multiple parts that run on different machines in order to function and be fully resilient - thus is a Microsystem
 - Two different trends have emerged when it comes to hardware and environments: one is the trend toward Multi-core, the is a movement toward virtualized environments and the cloud
 - Saga pattern of managing long running transactions in a distributed system fits very well with messaging style architectures

Jonas Bonér on the Actor Model, Akka, Reactive Programming, Microservices and Distributed Systems

In this episode of the Data Show, I spoke with Anima Anandkumar, a leading machine learning researcher, and currently a principal research scientist at Amazon. I took the opportunity to get an update on the latest developments on the use of tensors in machine learning. Most of our conversation centered around MXNet—an open source, efficient, scalable deep learning framework. I’ve been a fan of MXNet dating back to when it was a research project out of CMU and UW, and I wanted to hear Anandkumar’s perspective on its recent progress as a framework for enterprises and practicing data scientists.

Deep Learning That's Easy to Implement and Easy to Scale

In this episode of the O’Reilly podcast, Jon Bruner sat down with Rahul Kamdar, director of product management and strategy at TIBCO Software. They discussed the shift from the centralized enterprise service bus (ESB) to a distributed data architecture based on microservices, APIs, and cloud-native applications.

When faced with uncertainty, most organizations make moves to mitigate risk and prepare for managing the potential consequences of dealing with the unknown. What can leaders do to harness the confusion to create opportunities for market differentiation and unleash innovative solutions that appeal to customers, partners and other ecosystem players?

Using Uncertainty as an Advantage

This week, I sit down with Matt LeMay, product coach and consultant, and author of "Product Management in Practice." We talk about the four guiding principles of product management, what he has learned about himself as a product manager, and how to conduct meaningful research.

You can have a well thought out strategy, make impeccable blueprints, and plan resources in advance—the key to success in the digital transformation journey is going to be about how well your people, leaders, partners, and stakeholders react and respond to the unpleasant and unpredictable situations. What are you doing to build organizational endurance to prepare for the road ahead?

Building Endurance For Digital Transformation

In this episode of the O’Reilly Programming Podcast, I talk serverless architecture with Mike Roberts, engineering leader and co-founder of Symphonia, a serverless and cloud architecture consultancy. Roberts will give two presentations—Serverless Architectures: What, Why, Why Not, and Where Next? and Designing Serverless AWS Applications—at the O’Reilly Software Architecture Conference, October 16-19, 2017, in London.

A data-driven culture is vital for Digital Transformation. But, that’s not enough. Building a holistic digital data strategy, architecture, and infrastructure is a must. Facing so much business change and data overload, it’s not easy. How are IT leaders rethinking their organization, processes, and technology to achieve this goal?

In this episode of the O’Reilly Programming Podcast, I talk with Paul Bakker, senior software engineer on the edge developer experience team at Netflix, and Sander Mak, a fellow at Luminis Technologies. They are the authors of the O’Reilly book "Java 9 Modularity," in which they call the introduction of the module system to the platform “the start of a new era.”

In this episode of the O’Reilly Programming Podcast, I talk with Richard Warburton and Raoul-Gabriel Urma of Iteratr Learning. They are the presenters of a series of O’Reilly Learning Paths, including "Getting Started with Reactive Programming" and "Build Reactive Applications in Java 8." Warburton is the author of "Java 8 Lambdas," and Urma is the author of "Java 8 in Action."

In this episode of the O’Reilly Programming Podcast, I talk about Jenkins 2 and Git with Brent Laster, who presents a number of live online training courses on these topics (including "Building a deployment pipeline with Jenkins 2," and "Next level Git"). Laster will also present the workshop "Power Git" at the O’Reilly Open Source Convention, July 16-19, 2018, in Portland, Oregon, and he is the author of the forthcoming O’Reilly book "Jenkins 2: Up and Running."

O'Reilly Media spreads the knowledge of innovators. At O’Reilly, a big part of our business is paying attention to what’s new and interesting in the world of technology. We have a pretty good record at having anticipated some of the big technology developments in recent history. For instance, we launched the first commercial Web site, GNN, in 1993; we organized the meeting at which the term “open source” was first adopted; we were early investors in Blogger, which helped launch the blogging revolution; and more recently, our Web 2.0 conference launched a world-wide meme. We call this predictive sense the “O’Reilly Radar.” And while we’re certainly not always right, we are, at least, good at making interesting guesses.

Our methodology is simple: we draw from the wisdom of the alpha geeks in our midst, paying attention to what’s interesting to them, amplifying these weak signals, and seeing where they fit into the innovation ecology. Add to that the original research conducted by our Research team, and you start to get a good picture of what the technology world is thinking about.
