Recorded live at the AI Agent Conference, Ryan sits down with Apollo GraphQL CEO Matt DeBergalis to discuss how enterprises can leverage GraphQL and MCP as a structured semantic architecture to feed clean data to autonomous agents, safeguard internal microservices against unprecedented "east-west" data exfiltration risks, and rein in skyrocketing token spend by explicitly querying only the exact context required.
Senior developers know how to deploy code to systems made of code. Architects know how to deploy ideas to systems made of people.
Ryan is joined by Outshift by Cisco’s VP of Engineering Guillaume De Saint Marc to discuss the future of multi-agent architectures as microservices, the challenges and limitations of the infrastructure for these multi-agent systems, and the importance of communication protocols and interoperability in order to build decentralized and scalable architectures.
Stack Overflow, born on the bare metal racks of a data center, ascends to the cloud.
Kathleen Vignos, VP of Software Engineering at Capital One, sits down with Ryan to explore shifting to 100% serverless architecture in enterprise, deploying talent for better customer experience, and fostering AI innovation and tech advancements in a regulated banking environment.
Ryan welcomes Jeu George, cofounder and CEO of Orkes, to the show for a conversation about microservices orchestration. They talk through the evolution of microservices, the role of orchestration tools, and the importance of reliability in distributed systems. Their discussion also touches on the transition from open-source solutions to managed services, integration opportunities for AI agents, and the future of microservices in cloud computing.
At HumanX 2025, Ryan chatted with Rodrigo Liang, cofounder and CEO of SambaNova, about reimagining 30-year-old hardware architecture for the AI era.
Ken Stott, Field CTO of API platform Hasura, tells Ryan about the data doom loop: the concept that organizations are spending lots of money on data systems without seeing improvements in data quality or efficiency.
The decoder-only transformer architecture is one of the most fundamental ideas in AI research.
On this episode Ryan and Stack Overflow Director of Brand Design David Longworth chat with Matt Biilmann, CEO and co-founder of Netlify, about composable architecture, how making it easier to code will create more developers, and why the future of the front end is portability.
An essential part of requirements analysis is understanding which quality characteristics are the most important so that designers can address them appropriately.
