The DroidDevCast is a new podcast brought to you by the team at Esper, where we’ll explore all things Android, mobile DevOps, and open source software development. On our first episode, Esper Content Marketing Manager and de facto podcast host Rin Oliver is joined by Esper CEO Yadhu Gopalan to learn more about why Esper is uniquely positioned for Android DevOps, and also touch on why DevOps matters for those Android developers working with single-purpose devices.

Why Android DevOps

Shifting to DevOps means new approaches to development, operations, and testing. To paraphrase Larry Smith, DevOps teams must test early, test often, and test like they mean business. 

Esper recently launched The DroidDev Cast, a podcast on all things Android, DevOps, and OSS. This week, Content Marketing Manager and host Rin Oliver was joined by Karthik Gaekwad, who is Head of Cloud Native Engineering at Verica and a DevOpsDays organizer. This podcast episode explores Karthik’s journey to extreme testing, continuous verification, QA best practices, and some stellar resources.

On this episode of The DroidDevCast, Esper Content Marketing Manager and podcast host Rin Oliver is joined by Upbound Senior Software Engineer Daniel Magnum, who works full-time on Upbound’s Kubernetes infrastructure management software, Crossplane.io. Together, the two discuss all things rapid prototyping, what makes for a usable and efficient low-fidelity prototype, explore best practices for startups hoping to scale, and how individual contributors can make an impact in open source.

What is Rapid Prototyping?

Several weeks ago, Esper launched the DroidDevCast, a weekly podcast where we explore all things Android, DevOps, open source, and COSU. In our fourth installment, Esper Content Marketing Manager and podcast host Rin Oliver interviewed Soren Hamby, A11y Project Maintainer and previous Design Advocate at InVision, about accessible design. Hamby and Rin discussed why accessibility matters and how to make sure your designs enable others.
