In Episode 8 of The Cloud Native Attitude, Jamie and Ian chat with tech author Anne Currie about how going green in the cloud isn’t just good for the planet, it’s good for your bottom line too. They explore why sustainability and cloud-native thinking go hand in hand, how to cut waste and costs in your data centre, and why the idea of cleaning your room applies to software too.

In this episode of The Cloud Native Attitude, Jamie and Ian are joined by Dave Farley, a driving force behind the idea of continuous delivery, to unpack the real story behind CI/CD. From the early days of Extreme Programming to today’s cloud-native pipelines, they explore why continuous integration is still misunderstood, how infrastructure became part of the build, and what the data actually says about software speed and quality.With sharp insights, real-world stories (including a rogue robot named Frank), and a few strong opinions, they make the case for why continuous delivery isn’t just a best practice - it’s the foundation of modern engineering.Visit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Container Solutions⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ where you can get your free sample chapter of The Cloud Native Attitude.

In this episode of The Cloud Native Attitude, Jamie and Ian take on the myth of the “blank slate” - the idea that starting fresh will magically solve your software problems. Spoiler: it won’t. With insights and real-world examples, they explain why legacy systems aren’t just technical baggage but often valuable, misunderstood assets. They break down when (and if) it makes sense to start from scratch, how to spot unnecessary rewrites, and why experimenting before scaling is key.

In another bonus episode Jamie is joined by Allard Buijze, founder and CTO of AxonIQ. Jamie and Allard rewind the clock to the early days of Axon, uncovering how a frustration with system complexity sparked the creation of a framework now powering mission-critical systems around the world. They unpack the nuanced difference between “scalable systems” and “systems that scale,” explore the challenges of microservices, and reflect on the mindset shifts and organisational culture needed to succeed in today’s tech landscape.Visit⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Container Solutions⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ where you can get your free sample chapter of The Cloud Native Attitude.
