A How To Guide for Startups with Matt Leray

I’m joined by Matt Leray, co-founder and CTO Speedscale, an API testing product that applies “real world” stresses to “collect and replay traffic without scripting, simulate load and chaos, and measure performance.” With a history steeped in various aspects of tech, and with time spent in the startup space and cloud native space, Matt brings to the table some encompassing perspectives.


Matt’s career has carried him from monitoring satallite earth stations, to fiber optics, and more recently into cloud native. Matt began in startups, then went to larger companies, then back to startups, which he offers some insight on. Matt has a lot of wisdom to share on entrepreneurship, how the startup space has changed, and how to best navigate that. Matt discusses how Speedscale works as an “traffic replay” platform for APIs and his role there both technically and as a co-founder. Check out the conversation for a list of startup how-tos!


Highlights:

  • Introduction to Matt and Speedscale (00:00)
  • When Matt decided to become an entrepreneur (02:10)
  • Deciding to jump into startups (06:00)
  • What has stayed the same, and what has changed for Matt’s entrepreneurship (10:00)
  • Being selective (14:00)
  • Nailing down the timing and finding the right moment for Speedscale (20:26)
  • Matt’s most controversial view about the cloud native startup space (26:25)
  • Matt’s final thoughts (30:18)
