Podcast appearances and mentions of gabe monroy

As Chief Product Officer at DigitalOcean and a developer-turned-entrepreneur himself, Gabe Monroy is deeply familiar with some of the pitfalls that founders encounter on the road of product development. In this session, Gabe will discuss how founders can avoid the trap of over-engineering products, as well as why focusing on the must-haves (developing “painkillers” for your customer's problem) will better serve your business versus focusing on the nice-to-haves (developing “vitamins”).   Video: https://youtu.be/KwWxIURQVRg   Want to join the SaaStr community?

Back in April, Kris Nóva, now principal engineer at GitHub, started creating a server on Mastodon as a side project in her basement lab. Then in late October, Elon Musk bought Twitter for an eye-watering $44 billion, and began cutting thousands of jobs at the social media giant and making changes that alienated longtime users. And over the next few weeks, usage of Nóva's hobby site, Hachyderm.io, exploded. “The server started very small,” she said on this episode of The New Stack Makers podcast. “And I think like, one of my friends turned into two of my friends turned into 10 of my friends turned into 20 colleagues, and it just so happens, a lot of them were big names in the tech industry. And now all of a sudden, I have 30,000 people I have to babysit.” Though the rate at which new users are joining Hachyderm has slowed down in recent days, Nóva said, it stood at more than 38,000 users as of Dec. 20. Hachyderm.io is still run by a handful of volunteers, who also handle content moderation. Nóva is now seeking nonprofit status for it with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, with intentions of building a new organization around Hachyderm. This episode of Makers, hosted by Heather Joslyn, TNS features editor, recounts Hachyderm's origins and the challenges involved in scaling it as Twitter users from the tech community gravitated to it. Nóva and Joslyn were joined by Gabe Monroy, chief product officer at DigitalOcean, which has helped Hachyderm cope with the technical demands of its growth spurt.HugOps and Solving Storage IssuesSuddenly having a social media network to “babysit” brings numerous challenges, including the technical issues involved in a rapid scale up. Monroy and Nóva worked on Kubernetes projects when both were employed at Microsoft, “so we're all about that horizontal distribution life.” But the Mastodon application's structure proved confounding. “Here I am operating a Ruby on Rails monolith that's designed to be vertically scaled on a single piece of hardware,” Nóva said. “And we're trying to break that apart and run that horizontally across the rack behind me. So we got into a lot of trouble very early on by just taking the service itself and starting to decompose it into microservices.” Storage also rapidly became an issue. “We had some non-enterprise but consumer-grade SSDs. And we were doing on the order of millions of reads and writes per day, just keeping the Postgres database online. And that was causing cascading failures and cascading outages across our distributed footprint, just because our Postgres service couldn't keep up.” DigitalOcean helped with the storage issues; the site now uses a data center in Germany, whose servers DigitalOcean manages. (Previously, its servers had been living in Nóva's basement lab.) Monroy, longtime friends with Nóva, was an early Hachyderm user and reached out when he noticed problems on the site, such as when he had difficulty posting videos and noticed other people complaining about similar problems. “This is a ‘success failure' in the making here, the scale of this is sort of overwhelming,” Monroy said. “So I just texted Nóva, ‘Hey, what's going on? Anything I could do to help?' “In the community, we like to talk about the concept of HugOps, right? When people are having issues on this stuff, you reach out, try and help. You give a hug. And so, that was all I did. Nóva is very crisp and clear: This is what I got going on. These are the issues. These are the areas where you could help.”Sustaining ‘the NPR of Social Media'One challenge in particular has nudged Nóva to seek nonprofit status: operating costs. “Right now, I'm able to just kind of like eat the cost myself,” she said. “I operate a Twitch stream, and we're taking the proceeds of that and putting it towards operating service.” But that, she acknowledges, won't be sustainable as Hachyderm grows. “The whole goal of it, as far as I'm concerned, is to keep it as sustainable as possible,” Nóva said. “So that we're not having to offset the operating costs with ads or marketing or product marketing. We can just try to keep it as neutral and, frankly, boring as possible — the NPR of social media, if you could imagine such a thing.” Check out the full episode for more details on how Hachyderm is scaling and plans for its future, and Nóva and Monroy's thoughts about the status of Twitter.  Feedback?

In this week's episode, we spoke with Gabe Monroy, chief product officer at DigitalOcean, about how developers can fall into the trap of over-engineering their products and how to avoid this. He gives tips on how to find a balance between adopting new technology and delivering value to the customer. 

In this episode, we talk with Gabe Monroy who joined the Joe Homebuyer franchise after getting started in wholesaling several years before. Gabe was originally a firefighter and started his own wholesaling business. After meeting Mark and Cody, he saw value in scaling his business with training and the resources that the Joe Homebuyer franchise team offered to him and joined the franchise in October of 2021. He shares his story, how he got started, his best ways to gain new clients through marketing, and the value that he has found from joining the Joe Homebuyer franchise family.

In today’s episode, we catch up with one of our rockstar rhinos and find out how he’s doing after taking a leap of faith. Gabe Monroy quit his job as a fireman to focus on wholesaling full-time. The humble rhino who loves to serve people definitely made the right decision as he was not only able to close a lot of deals, he was also able to earn quadruple of what he used to working a 9 - 5 job. If you have plans of quitting your job and going into wholesaling full-time, this is one episode you can’t afford to miss. Gabe will not only share how he makes a killing in wholesaling, he’ll also demonstrate the power of one key element many people tend to overlook—consistent follow-ups.

In this episode of the ARCHITECHT Show, Gabe Monroy, head of product for cloud-native computing at Microsoft Azure, goes deep into the world of cloud-native computing. Monroy discusses his time in the PaaS space at Deis and EngineYard (and how that evolved into the container movement), and how the Kubernetes/CNCF communities are able to play nice with each other given all that's at stake. He also discusses the art of building managed Kubernetes services, Microsoft's GitHub acquisition, the role of serverless computing and more.

From KubeCon + CloudNativeCon 2017 — Brendan Burns (Kubernetes co-founder) and Gabe Monroy (creator of Deis) joined the show to talk about the origin, impact, and future of Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure.

In 2011, platform-as-a-service was in its early days. It was around that time that Gabe Monroy started a container platform called Deis, with the goal of making an open source platform-as-a-service that anyone could deploy to whatever infrastructure they wanted. Over the last six years, Gabe had a front row seat to the rise of The post Container Instances with Gabe Monroy appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

In this week's rare two-interview episode, Derrick Harris talks Kubernetes with Cloud Native Computing Foundation executive director Dan Kohn, who discusses the Kubernetes ecosystem and adoption, as well the purpose for foundations like CNCF and where they fit into the open source landscape (e.g., in relation to the Apache Software Foundation). Derrick also speaks with Gabe Monroy, who was co-founder and CTO of container startup Deis, which Microsoft acquired in April. Monroy talks about how Deis came to be and the technologies it developed, and how everything is working now that they're part of Microsoft. In the news segment, Derrick and co-host Barb Darrow (Fortune) discuss Amazon's non-compete lawsuit against a former exec, Intel's veiled threat to would-be x86 emulators, and fun—and hopefully useful—AI research out of Microsoft and Facebook.
