In this episode of the Security Podcast, I talk with Charles Givre, senior lead data scientist at Orbital Insight. We discuss how data science skills are increasingly important for security professionals, the critical role of data scientists in making the results of their work accessible to even nontechnical stakeholders, and using machine learning as a dynamic filter for vast amounts of data.

In this episode of the O’Reilly Programming Podcast, I talk with Matt Stine, global CTO of architecture at Pivotal. He is the presenter of the O’Reilly live online training course "Cloud-Native Architecture Patterns," and he has spoken about cloud-native architecture at the recent O’Reilly Software Architecture Conference and O’Reilly Security Conference.

In this episode of the O’Reilly Programming Podcast, we revisit our June 2017 conversation with Sam Newman, presenter of the O’Reilly video course The Principles of Microservices and the online training course From Monolith to Microservices. He is also the author of the book Building Microservices: Designing Fine-Grained Systems.

This week’s podcast features a chat with Vitor Olivier. Vitor is a partner at NuBank (a technology-centric bank in Brazil). This podcast hits on topics from several of Nubank’s recent QCon talks and includes things like: Nubank’s stack, functional programming, event sourcing, defining service boundaries, recommendations on reasoning about services, tips (or tweaks) on the second iteration of their initial architecture and more.

Why listen to this podcast:

- Property-based testing and Schemas (or Clojure.Spec)are complementary.
- Clojure’s functional nature and Datomic’s features are a match for Nubank’s requirements.
 - A (micro)service needs to be able to create the full representation of the core feature it’s handling.
 - GraphQL is useful to abstract away the distributed system complexity from the mobile (or frontend) developers.
 - Nubank’s uses a combination of monitoring and sanity checks in real time at various level to keep systems consistent. 
- Once an invariant is broken, the system will try to fix it automatically.

Architecting a Modern Financial Institution with Vitor Olivier, Thoughts on Immutability, CI/CD, FP

On this week’s podcast, Wes Reisz talks with Chris Swan. Chris is the CTO for the global delivery organisation at DXC Technology. Chris is well versed in DevOps, Infrastructure, Culture, and what it means to put all these together. Today’s topics include both DevOps and NoOps, and what Chris calls LessOps, what Operations means in a world of Serverless, where he sees Configuration Management, Provisioning, Monitoring and Logging heading. The podcast then wraps talking about where he sees validating code in a serverless deployment, such as canaries and blue-green deployments.

Why listen to this podcast:

* Serverless still requires  ops - even if the ops aren’t focused on the technology
* Even with minimal functions, the amount of configuration may exceed it by a factor of three
* Disruptive services often move the decimal point
* ML is the ability to make the inferences and AI is the ability to make decisions based on those inferences
