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.

On this episode of the podcast, we talk to Mauricio Linhares, senior software engineer at Stripe, about the pain of migrating monoliths to microservices, defining zero-tier systems, and why plugging all your servers into the same power supply is a bad idea.

In just 20 years, software engineering has shifted from architecting monoliths with a single database and centralized state to microservices where everything is distributed across multiple containers, servers, data centers, and even continents. Distributing things solves scaling concerns, but introduces a whole new world of problems, many of which were previously solved by monoliths.

Temperature, time, and space. Metric makes it easy to relate them all. Now that's excellent API design.
