For our tenth episode, we thought it would be fun to combine two of our favorite things: Broadway and the Tudors. Rex is a musical about Henry VIII and some of his many wives, making it the perfect choice for us. Listen for the answers to all your burning questions, such as "What does Richard Rodgers' ghost sound like?", "Would Eric and Lisa have survived in sixteenth century England?", and "What happens to Anne Boleyn?" (Spoiler alert: it does not end well for her).
Today’s episode is all about recognizing middle-of-the-day deployments; how teams such as Netflix, Facebook, and even the Azure DevOps Product Team are doing them; and taking a look at how other teams can achieve that for themselves! Jeffrey Palermo’s guest today is Eric Fleming, a Software Architect at Clear Measure. Eric leads an intense team, developing and operating a mission-critical software system in the financial sector. He lives in Alpharetta, Georgia, and is a host of the Function Junction Youtube Channel, which is all about Azure functions. He’s also written articles for MSDN Magazine and CODE Magazine. In this episode, Eric takes Jeffrey through his journey of inheriting a monolithic software system and the major transformations he had to execute to get it where it is today; deploying in the middle of the day! He explains the key steps he took in breaking up the monolith, the development process, who was involved, what the structure and DevOps environments looked like, and all of the details you need to know if you’re finding yourself in a similar situation!

It's November, aka No Shave November or Movember among the bearded and non-bearded alike, in which many men embark on a beard growing journey. The month is synonymous with growing facial hair to raise awareness of men's health issues and also encourages donations to charities that fight against them. Beats, Beards & Brews shares its thoughts on Movember and Dan and Eric discuss how much money it would take to shave their epic beards, for charity or profit. Would Eric shave his 2+ years of growth for $5,000? Listen to find out! We do mention a specific Movember team, which may still be open for donations. Follow this link to donate to the team Dan mentions: http://mobro.co/sdawes0414 or consider donating to a charity that is important to you.
