Managed Kafka with Tom Crayford | Software Engineering Daily
http://traffic.libsyn.com/sedaily/heroku_kafka_edited.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Kafka is a distributed log for producers and consumers to publish messages to each other. We’ve done many shows about Kafka as a key building block for distributed systems, but we often leave out the discussion of the complexities of setting up Kafka and monitoring it. Kafka deployments can be a complex piece of software to manage.
Tom Crayford is an engineer at Heroku, where he helped engineer the recent Heroku Kafka product, which is a managed version of Apache Kafka. Our conversation explored the use cases of Kafka and how to build Kafka as a cloud service at scale. For more information about Heroku Kafka, check out an upcoming webinar.
Full disclosure: Heroku is a sponsor of Software Engineering Daily. That said, this is a topic I am genuinely interested in–it is often difficult to get cloud providers to talk in detail about how they are architecting their services.

How to Manage a Side Project With a Full Time Job (FS115)
http://fizzleshow.co/115 - We love side projects. Most of our successful projects started out as side projects during full time employment.
But finding the balance between a side project and a day job often feels impossible.
Then you try to throw in a little time for yourself outside of the jobs and side projects and the whole thing topples over.
So, if so many businesses are started out as side projects, how can we balance both staying employed for as long as necessary and finding enough time to build our side project?
That’s what we get into in the show today, complete with several examples of very successful businesses today that were once started as side projects.
Enjoy!
