In this episode, we host James Urquhart. James is challenged with the heuristic “Use of standard interfaces and protocols for event-driven integration”, based on his recent work. We discuss the changes in the behaviour of teams creating software when they embrace an event-driven integration, together with leveraging engineering practices like continuous delivery. James also shares his experiences with value streams and the impacts on software architecture. By using event-driven integration and flow architectures to unlock the value within organisations and also between organisations. He predicts that the next decade will be very dynamic in this space, and technology and cost of ownership can be potential roadblocks.

Join Corey and James as they talk about Tanzu and how it is not a vertically integrated T-shirt brand; what James predicts the world will look like in five or 10 years; James’ new book, Flow Architectures: The Future of Streaming and Event-Driven Integration, and the role streaming data will play in the future; how data runs through our economy like water runs downhill through a sand dune; the important role one’s attention span plays in writing a book; what it was like for James to write the book and why he did it; how nobody really predicted how hard it would be for Google and Microsoft to catch up to AWS in the cloud space; and more.

There is a need to educate technology leaders across the Department of Defense and national security community with the frameworks and strategies to run digital transformation efforts. This episode explores Wardley mapping: empowering leaders to understand the structure and ecosystem around a technology or service by mapping its components on dimensions like technology maturity and user value. In a defense and national security context, this allows leaders to better align their solution development trajectory and strategy with emerging market trends and user needs to optimize product-mission fit. The insights from this event are designed to help defense leaders to deconstruct their technology and innovation development efforts like business cases, ensuring our energy and talent gets invested on the right problems. James Urquhart is a proven technology executive, and a key influencer in the use of distributed systems technologies in the enterprise setting. Focusing on distributed systems development and operations, James has a background that includes both field and product leadership, with both start-ups and large corporations.

Many entrepreneurs go through the process of designing, creating, and innovating new products but not many make it to a pitch, few get it to actually launch, and those that actually break the market come are considered as gems: rare and utterly irresistible. The key is to find a product niche that actually serves a purpose and finding a venture capital firm who not only sees your vision but has the desire to see it come to fruition. According to Blake Moderitzki of Pelion Venture Partners, the best way to entice a VC firm into an investment is by walking through the process, embracing the company's story in the pitch, and making sure you have a product that can truly stand out in the crowd.

Q: How can that many great companies that are being chased by so many VC’s, chose to work with Blake? A: It’s rare to find someone so successful yet humble, so analytical yet thoughtfully tuned-in! Great software entrepreneurs want to have Blake’s one-of-a-kind perspective as a VC, software guru, sales & marketing expert, and trusted friend and mentor! I have had my own brief moments of awe and appreciation with Blake Modersitski. I hope you enjoy this podcast!

Diva Tech Talk interviewed Jenny Coupe, Senior Director, Americas Marketing at Akamai Technologies (www.akamai.com).  Jenny began life as an “Army brat,” and moved 22 times in 18 years, forcing quick adaptation to new people, circumstances and venues. Jenny’s father, an Army judge, encouraged her to “be who I wanted to be, irrespective of gender.” Jenny moved to Silicon Valley and graduated from The University of the Pacific, then began an entry-level position at Silicon Graphics Inc. (www.silicongraphics.com) in a “gender-blind culture.”  She credits her “fantastic boss” during her first 6 years for her swift career development. At SGI, she moved into marketing, followed her boss to WebMD (www.webmd.com) as employee #10 and became Director, Worldwide Corporate Marketing --- on the team that took WebMD to IPO status.  After WebMD, Jenny had eight different senior level marketing executive roles with companies ranging from giants like IBM to startups like Tegile.  Eventually, she migrated to Vice President of Customer Acquisition at Soasta, Inc. now acquired by Akamai. Along the way, Jenny received many marketing awards including the distinction of being named to the list of the TOP 50 women in revenue you should know. “The number one value I bring to the table is hustle,” she said. “I hustle 24 x 7. I think because I’ve done so many different types of roles, I can come in, assimilate quickly, assess the situation, figure out what to do and what not to do. “ To Jenny, tech marketing has “certainly changed a lot” from the beginning of her career to now.  She sees it as evolved from “soft skill” (“providing air cover, brand marketing” but nothing measurable) to one that involves having a “science behind everything that you are doing.”   A big believer in diverse teams, Jenny “encourage folks to build teams that are different ages, different genders, different cultures.” One of Jenny’s favorite quotes comes from Silicon Valley veteran, Jim Clark: “Religion is death in a startup.”  In other words, “if you are wedded to one idea, and one way of doing things, you are not going to grow ---- as a business, or as an individual. Everyone is learning lessons, regardless of who they are, what they are, and what they are doing.”    Jenny’s other great lesson is “Don’t forget to have fun.   Don’t be afraid to try it.  Try to minimize your regrets!” For the full blog write up, make sure to check us out on online at www.divatechtalk.com, on Twitter @divatechtalks, and on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/divatechtalk.

"Through SOASTA solutions, Akamai customers will then be able to test optimizations at scale prior to deployment and validate the business impact of those optimizations once they are live in production.

Brian talks with James Urquhart (@jamesurquhart, Senior Vice President of Performance Analytics @SOASTA) about the evolution of the digital economy, performance testing applications, understanding business impact of performance, and how companies are evolving in this new economy. Show Notes: Krispy Kreme Challenge Donations - https://www.crowdrise.com/thecloudcastkrispykr/fundraiser/briangracely
 SOASTA Homepage - http://www.soasta.com/ Topic 1 - Welcome back to the show, it’s been a little while. Tell us what you’re doing these days. Topic 2 - We now live in a (mostly) digital world, where applications are the face or experience of many businesses. Where does SOASTA fit into this new world? Topic 3 - Last summer, I was at VelocityConf and saw this massive display (for SOASTA) and it looked like the control center in movies for a Space Shuttle launch. Turns out it was the launch of the mPulse platform. It was very business centric, which was unique and unusual for a highly technical conference. Topic 4 - Lots of talk about microservices and distributed applications. Also, lots of talk about how this becomes orders of magnitude more complex. How are application teams explaining this to their businesses, and how does SOASTA help them manage this? Topic 5 - Mobile devices are everything these days, and they have very different usage/access patterns. From a Performance/Analysis perspective, what are some of the most important things companies need to think about? Topic 6 - We’re starting to see more and more traditionally “non-technical” companies that will have massive application challenges in the future (e.g. connected vehicles). What’s your advice to them beyond just “be sure you’re testing early and often”?

Have you seen my car keys anywhere? The older we get the more we might tend to forget about the exciting topic of performance tuning for memory. We're talking about garbage collection, memory leaks and caching strategies. Special guest Scott Moore from Northway Solutions joins us for this whole episode from his home studio in Nashville, TN. The famous newborn Prince George is already crashing websites just as his mom does, as we cover Swaddle-geddon on the News of the Damned. James says the word kerfuffle, twice. Seriously, I swear I left my car keys right here in the studio on the desk.

Production? You remember that system that has to keep running 24x7x365 to keep your customers happy, and employees productive and keep your organization's revenue stream going? Yeah, that one. Did you ever thing that doing destructive load or stress testing on that live system was a good idea? Whether your an external contractor testing over the internet or an internal testing team with no other place to test, sometimes you have no choice but to do your performance testing in production. In this episode of PerfBytes, James and I will give you some tips about how to conduct performance tests in production safely. Sure, we'll try and persuade you not to take the risk - but there are ways to do this, and there are partners that can help you do it right.

We’re 100% cloud computing-focused this week. First Gordon Haff (@ghaff), cloud evangelist from Red Hat stops by to talk about the rise of Platform as a Service (PaaS) especially in the enterprise space. Then Tom Lounibos (@lounibos), CEO of SOASTA, discusses three products: 1. CloudTest, a test automation suite for mobile developers to test their app and associated workload, 2. TouchTest, an environment for mobile developers to test apps on hundreds of different permutations, and 3. Real User Measurement (RUM), a developer view of every user on a Website or mobile site.

Hear five innovators explain the real-world, production-level ways they use cloud technologies to meet their IT needs: Big Data, analytics, testing, and mobile security. developerWorks' Robin Langford reports.

In this episode from May 9, Reuven and Allyson chat with Tom Lounibos (@lounibos) from SOASTA and Dave Wright (@jungledave) from SolidFire. Tom discusses testing Web and mobile applications (simulating loads hitting a Website) and working with the federated cloud, while Dave tackles solid state cloud storage and cloud performance. And finally, Reuven keeps the show flowing while Allyson deals with phone line technical difficulties.

Tom Lounibos, CEO and Founder of SOASTA, shares insights on building applications that take advantage of cloud infrastructure services. He also touches on the intersection of cloud computing and mobile, along with the most recent innovations for testing these environments.
