Our Host: Dave Sudia

I'm a Director of Devrel at Ambassador Labs. My passion at work is helping others reach their potential, and I love helping developers produce the highest quality, most reliable code they can, and get it to users! My previous career was as a behavior specialist, and I apply that expertise to improving the behavior of applications.


I appreciate working on teams of curious people, where leadership roles are flexible, and members have the opportunity to step up and lead when they have the expertise, and step back and follow when they can learn something. Peer programming has been a powerful tool for me for writing better code. I don't like sitting in a closet coding all day.


I am experienced in several languages, and pick up new stacks quickly. My current passion is the cloud-native technology space centered around Kubernetes, especially in small and medium-sized organizations.

Developer Control Planes: A CTO's Point of View

Several themes and insights emerged from the conversation: Platforms are evolving: While Kubernetes has emerged as a kind of standard, providing more granular control and enhancing the ability to curate different platform experiences for different types of teams, it isn't entirely accurate to say that the platform question is settled. Kubernetes may be the platform around which focus has converged because of its fluidity and flexibility, letting you do just about anything. But more broadly, platforms continue to evolve, in large part because there are so many different ways to accomplish the many tasks that make up cloud-native development. On one hand, more mature companies may be happy with the Kubernetes setup. Many others, though, want a more curated, structured and opinionated path, with tools sitting on top of Kubernetes.

Here are some of the key takeaways from their conversation:

HTTP/3: Use Cases, Envoy Support, and Google’s Rollout

A number of key themes emerged: HTTP/2 sped up HTTP/1 dramatically – but if you lose one packet on a connection, everything gets stalled until the packet is retransmitted. This is a fundamental limitation of TCP, so HTTP/3 speeds up HTTP/2 even more by implementing the protocol on top of UDP.
