S3, Ep2: Flynn from Buoyant & Cloud Native Happenings

To kick off Season Three, we figured who better to bring on the show than Flynn, the Tech Evangelist from Buoyant. Flynn was one of the original creators of Emissary and a previous Ambassador Labs team member himself. As someone who’s been a part of the Emissary and Edge Stack story from the early days, his 40 year’s worth of knowledge and experience is something we can all learn from. Flynn’s day-to-day life revolves around dealing with the complexity of the cloud-native world and the rapid pace of change that comes with it. I sat down with him to discuss some of those complexities, as well as what he’s looking forward to right now in the cloud-native world.

Key Takeaways from the Episode: Hybrid Development with Kubernetes & Telepresence: Voiceflow transitioned from local to hybrid development using Kubernetes and Telepresence. This shift was due to the challenges of running full stacks locally, which became resource-intensive.
