134: Ephemeral Environments with Benjie De GrootDownloadHow do you test changes to your web backend or database?  Many people have a "production" and one "development" database, but the development database can easily become broken by one engineer and thus unusable for the rest of the team.  Also, how would two engineers make changes in parallel to the development environment?  What if you could spin up hundreds or thousands of development databases as you need them? Today we have Benjie De Groot, Co-Founder and CEO of Shipyard to explain ephemeral environments and how virtual machines and containers have made massive improvements in devops! 00:00:15 Introduction00:00:24 Introducing Benjie De Groot00:01:26 Benjie’s Programming Background00:06:34 How Shipyard started00:09:17 Working in Startups vs. Tech Giants00:19:28 The difference between Virtual Machines and Containers00:26:17 Local Development Environment00:40:27 What is a DevOps engineer and what does it entail?00:45:42 Zencastr00:50:12 Shipyard as a company00:55:29 How Shipyard gets clients01:06:48 Farewells     Resources mentioned in this episode: Benjie De Groot, Co-Founder & CEO at Shipyard:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bueller/Podcast: https://www.heavybit.com/library/podcasts/the-kubelist-podcast/Shipyard:Website: https://shipyard.build/Careers: https://shipyard.build/careers/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/shipyardbuild/Twitter: https://twitter.com/shipyardbuildCommunity Website: https://ephemeralenvironments.io/GitHub: https://github.com/shipyardHeavybit:Website: https://www.heavybit.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/heavybit/Twitter: https://twitter.com/heavybit                 If you’ve enjoyed this episode, you can listen to more on Programming Throwdown’s website: https://www.programmingthrowdown.com/ Reach out to us via email: programmingthrowdown@gmail.com You can also follow Programming Throwdown on Facebook | Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Player.FM  Join the discussion on our DiscordHelp support Programming Throwdown through our Patreon ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

I've been a big fan of Brave Browser ever since attending a presentation from Brandon Eich back in 2017.  Brave was one of the first browsers to aggressively block the ability for websites to share information on your computer without your consent (i.e. third party cookies).  I'm so excited to sit down with Jimmy Secretan, VP of Ads and Premium Services of Brave, and talk about all things Brave, from the Browser to the other products to the way Brave takes privacy on the internet to a whole new level, while also empowering content creators and advertisers who depend on ads for income and to promote their businesses.00:00:15 Introduction00:00:44 Introducing Jimmy Secretan00:01:10 How Brave started00:09:33 Brave and internet advertising00:21:13 Local machine learning00:32:07 What is BAT (Brave Attention Tokens) 00:42:59 Cross-platform data synchronization 00:44:28 Chromium00:50:22 Public and Private key encryption and authentication00:54:27 Brave for Content Creators00:59:03 Where is Brave now and what is its trajectory01:05:40 Opportunities in Brave01:13:10 FarewellsResources mentioned in this episode:Jimmy Secretan, VP of Ads and Premium Services:Twitter: https://twitter.com/jsecretanLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmysecretan/ Brave:Website: https://brave.com/Brave Careers: https://brave.com/careers/Twitter: https://twitter.com/braveLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/brave-software/If you’ve enjoyed this episode, you can listen to more on Programming Throwdown’s website: https://www.programmingthrowdown.com/ Reach out to us via email: programmingthrowdown@gmail.com You can also follow Programming Throwdown on Facebook | Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Player.FM  Join the discussion on our DiscordHelp support Programming Throwdown through our Patreon ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
